[Development] Platform / compiler support

[Keith Gardner]

Hi,

When specifying Visual Studio, could you specify the support for x86, IA64, and AMD64 architectures?  I know that supporting a compiler is one thing, but supporting an architecture is another.

I volunteer for Windows/MSVC. Also, I think, we should include/explicitly mention MSVC2010, which is different from MSVC2008 in that it has support for C++11 (read: Using C++11 constructs requires extra checking with this compiler).
We could actually require MSVC2010 as minimum version once Qt 5 reaches release status.

ATM, we still support MinGW/gcc 4.4 and we are looking into supporting MinGW/gcc 4.6 and 64bit versions of it.
But that will probably be limited to qtbase.

Regards,
Friedemann
