How to run the custom-example?

Hi,

I am trying to create a customized layout within qgc by first testing out the custom-example directory within the qgc repo. But i am a complete newbie and would appreciate if anyone can help me understand all of this…how do i run the custom-example without any modifications first?

My ultimate goal is to come up with a simplified version of qgc with some of the features and icons removed so that a new user can use it.

I have qt creator and visual studio installed and am running on windows. Thanks alot in advance…

Rename the custom-example directory to custom. And then build QGC.

The readme make is pretty clear what to do: https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/blob/master/custom-example/README.md
