Qt 5.6 cannot be built with VS2015 under Win7?

According to this page, Qt 5.6 with VS2015 is only supported under Windows 10! (I suppose - means "not supported" and X means "supported").

Is it really the case? No way it can be built under Windows 7.....

I'd like to upgrade my compiler to VS2015, and take this oportunity to also upgrade all my 3rd party libraries (including Qt)....but I really can't upgrade my windows version (company policy).

Anyone tried to build the beta under Windows7? Did it work well?

Solution

  • I just downloaded Qt5.6 beta from here, installed VS 2015 on a Windows 7 64 bits machine.

    I successfully compiled Qt and could execute a hello world. Windows7 may not be officially supported, but it works well.
