This is Qt 6.8.0 **qtbase module** backport that runs on Windows 7/8. The repository contains patched source files from the qtbase module.
Approach is based on this [forum thread](https://forum.qt.io/topic/133002/qt-creator-6-0-1-and-qt-6-2-2-running-on-windows-7/60) but better: many improvements amongst important fallbacks to default Qt 6 behaviour when running on newer Windows.
This repository provides a backport of the Qt 6.8.0 qtbase module, tailored for compatibility with Windows 7 and 8. It contains patched source files from the qtbase module, along with some additional required files. To apply the backport, simply copy the contents of the src folder into your qtbase/src directory, replacing the existing files.
- After replacing qtbase source files with the patched ones from this repository, you can compile Qt yourself using compiler and build options you need.
- You can use our [compile_win.pl](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt-build-tools/tree/master/6.8.0) build script (uses Visual C++ 2022 with OpenSSL 3.0.13 statically linked)
- You can download our [prebuild Qt dlls](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt6windows7/releases) which also have Qt Designer binary for demonstration
This approach builds upon the methodology discussed in [forum thread](https://forum.qt.io/topic/133002/qt-creator-6-0-1-and-qt-6-2-2-running-on-windows-7/60) but offers significant enhancements, including important fallbacks to the default Qt 6 behavior when running on newer versions of Windows.
You have two options for compiling Qt:
- Compile it yourself using your preferred compiler and build options.
- Use our [compile_win.pl](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt-build-tools/tree/master/6.8.0) build script, which utilizes Visual C++ 2022 and includes OpenSSL 3.0.13 statically linked.
Alternatively, you can download our [prebuild Qt dlls](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt6windows7/releases), which also include the Qt Designer binary for demonstration purposes.
