I've installed Qt under Windows. Qt installs mingw for me. Dropping to the Qt command prompt and typing g++, I see the following:
C:\Qt\2009.03\qt>g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
I'm more familiar with the Microsoft compiler world of things, so forgive me if the following questions are silly:
Does that mean Qt 4.5 on Windows is tied to g++ 3.4.5?
I read somewhere else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection) that g++ (gcc is the same thing, right?) is on version 4.4.1. Why such an old version?
Is it possible and trivial to upgrade the compiler if necessary?
What if I was to use some third party piece of software that only works on gcc versions 4 and upwards?
Thanks,
PUK
