Qt SDK

Get Qt SDK 1.1

The Qt SDK combines the Qt framework with tools designed to streamline the creation of applications for Symbian phones and the Nokia N9 smartphone in addition to desktop platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Easy to get started, use and deploy

Benefits for application developers:

  • Easy to install - One installation package is all you need. No complicated setup, connect your device and you're done.

  • Easy to use - Intuitive, yet powerful tools: Qt Creator IDE, including UI designer tools and on-device debugging.

  • Complete tool chain - All you need: simulator, local and remote compilers, internationalization support, device toolchains and more.

  • Qt Simulator - Find out how your application will work on any Qt enabled device quickly and easily. No need for complex device emulators.

  • Qt Mobility - Various mobility APIs enable you to create dynamic navigation applications or even just support standard mobile applications such as messaging, contacts and multimedia.

  • Reuse code - Use code you wrote for one platform to target another. Build and run applications for multiple target platforms.
