+\title Window System-specific Notes
+
+Qt is a multiplatform GUI toolkit, so almost the entire API is the
+same on all platforms and window systems. If you wish to use
+platform-specific features, and still maintain a platform-independent
+source tree, you should protect the platform-specific code using the
+appropriate \c{#ifdef} statements (see below).
+
+\tableofcontents
+
+For information about which platforms are supported by Qt, see the
+\link http://www.trolltech.com/products/platforms/ Platform
+Notes\endlink. For information on distributing Qt applications, see
+\link distributingqt.html Deploying Qt Applications\endlink.
+
+\target x11
+\section1 Qt/X11
+
+When compiling for this platform, the macro \c{Q_WS_X11} is defined.
+
+\e{Not documented here. Please contact Trolltech Technical Support
+if you have queries.}
+
+\img dependencies.png Qt/X11 Dependencies
+
+Note: You must compile with \e both Xft and XRender support to get
+alpha transparency support for pixmaps and images. Configuring with
+XRender support only is not enough.
+
+\target win
+\section1 Qt/Windows
+
+When compiling for this platform, the macro \c{Q_WS_WIN} is defined.
+
+\e{Not documented here. Please contact Trolltech Technical Support
+if you have queries.}
+
+\section2 Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Deployment Issues
+
+Executables compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 retquire
+a manifest file that points to the C and C++ runtime libraries that
+Qt and the application itself depend on. The manifest file is
+automatically generated for you, but it always needs to be located
+in the same directory as the application executable.
+
+It is important to remember to deploy the manifest file when
+deploying an application.
+
+<b>Note:</b>
+If you don't want to deploy your application with the .manifest file,
+you can embed the manifest in the executable as a resource with the
+\c mt command (distributed with Visual Studio 2005).
+
+If you have further problems, please see the MSDN document,
+"Side-by-side Assemblies Reference".
+
+\target macosx
+\section1 Qt/Mac OS X
+
+When compiling for this platform, the macro \c{Q_WS_MACX} is defined.

+\section1 Qt/Embedded
