After Nokia opened the Qt source code to the community on [[Gitorious]], various ports appeared. There are also some ports of Qt that may be available, but are not supported anymore. These platforms are listed in [[List of platforms supported by Qt]]. See also there for current community support for other lesser known platforms, such as [[SailfishOS]].
