Hello,
I am a newbie to QT and cross platform environments including Linux and MAC. I have some basic questions because i have only experience in working in windows development.
i downloaded the following package Qt 5.1.1 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.8, OpenGL, 666 MB) from http://qt-project.org/downloads and created a basic hello world gui application containing just a label with text in qt creator. I have build an application in release mode and it generated an .exe file which on double clicking in windows runs successfully.
The code also created some MakeFile.Release file which i have on idea about.
1) Will copying the same .exe to linux will run successfully in linux or do i have to compile the code in linux again? Any steps or guide for achieving this would be very helpful as i have never worked in linux before.
2) Same question above for MAC environment.
3) Whats the role of MakeFile.Release
I know that these questions are very basic but any help in this regard is much appreciated. Thanks
