This page is meant as a roadmap to existing and expected qOrbiter targets, including specific requirements of each.

Forward Roadmap of current and future qOrbiter targets:
# OnScreen Orbiters (other apps available and non-integrated media)
## Window Managed
### X11 (Linux - i386)
## Non-Window Managed (Wayland/Weston window managed in the future)
### EGLFS (rpi,armhf)
# Non-OnScreen Orbiters (integrated media)
## Desktops/Laptops (Linux/Windows/Mac)
## Mobile Tablets/Phones (Android/iOS)

= Linux =
Linux is the main platform qOrbiter is developed on. 

*LinuxMCE 1204 - Qt lib version = 5.2.0
*LinuxMCE 1404 - Qt lib version = 5.2.3
*LinuxMCE RPi - Qt lib version = 5.2.0

== Relevant directories ==
 qOrbiter_src/qml/desktop

= Android =
Android is the main target for smaller skins.

*<s>Qt lib version = 4.8.2 (necessitas)</s>
*Qt lib version = 5.3.2 NDK

== Relevant directories ==
 qOrbiter_src/qml/android
 qOrbiter_src/android

<s>

= Symbian =
Symbian could be target. We need developers for this.

Qt lib version = 4.8.x (latest 4.x should always be usable. Details on [http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-symbian-linux.html QtProject]

== Relevant directories ==
no specific QML created as of yet [[User:Posde|posde]]
</s>

= Windows x86 = 
Windows x86 successfully builds with the MSVC compiler.  

Unfortunately, there is a segfault that happens shortly after skin-loading takes place.  The root cause of the segfault has not yet been determined.

Qt lib version = 4.8.x (latest 4.x should be usable)

== Relevant directories ==
 qOrbiter_src/qml/desktop

<s>
= Windows RT =
Windows RT could be a target, but there are no devs for it atm.

In order to work on WinRT, QOrbiter will need to be made into a Windows Store app.  There are a few dependency hurdles that will need to be cleared in order for that to happen.  

*QT libs needs to be ported to WinRT.
**Status of that project can be found here: [http://qt-project.org/wiki/WinRT] 
*DCE and other supporting LinuxMCE libs need to be ported to WinRT.
**Not all win32 apis are available from the Windows Store app sandbox.  Threading and sockets come to mind.  Significant re-write and/or shims may be necessary.
 
Qt lib version = QT5
</s>

= iOS =
*iOS support added as the Qt 5.3 release.

= MacOSX = 
*Qt lib version = 4.8.x builds to real OSX .app bundle with icon. Does actually work (checked may 2013)
*Qt lib version = 5 does not compile atm
