Difference between Two installation Package.

[Mathan M]

Hello,

I am planning to develop an app which has to be deploy in Android/iOS/Windows phones. I choose QT will be best option for the requirement. When I try to locate for Opensource version in download page, I find several installation package.
I would like to know which package I have to use.

My system Configuration:
Windows 7 Prof
64 bit
VS 2015 Installed

I found:
Windows Host
Qt 5.7.0 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2015, 918 MB) (info)
Qt 5.7.0 for Android (Windows 32-bit, 1.2 GB) (info)

What is the difference between these package?

I can see:
Qt Online Installers
Qt Online Installer for Windows (18 MB) (info)

According to many review, Compilers/Kits will be the complex task for the android/iOS/Windows Phone environment setting up in ?QT. Does this QT Online Installers will take of the kits?

Hi! Use the online installer. During installation you can select the components / kits you need. Also have a look at Getting Started with Qt for Android to see what the requirements for Android development are and where you can get the needed external tools. It's a good idea to install these tools before you install Qt.

You need to install the requirements for Android development first, see: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/androidgs.htm.

The Qt installer you need is this one: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/qt-unified-windows-x86-online.exe
It will offer you to install the Android development kit.

For Windows Phone development you need at least Windows 8.1, see: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html

For iOS development you need a OS X host, see: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html
