Hey everyone, So I am working on a project for which i need to make some changes in the UI for QGC. I am a Windows user so I am having a lot of trouble setting up the repo and running it in my system. Can someone guide me on how i can make the changes? Also using QTCreator is not an option for me as my trial has expired for that. Also i would really appreciate some resources so that I can get to know the repo to make the necessary UI changes ---

hey, I’m Raghavi ,I’m also working in ui changes in QGC, as far as I know you can only create Ui changes using Qt creator. You can share your problem statement with me. ---

Also you dont need QT paid. [Open Source Development | Open Source License | Qt](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source) install from here. Just follow the developer guide [Getting Started with source & builds · QGroundControl Developer Guide](https://dev.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/getting_started/) to set up qt and qgc source ---

The way you want to develop is of aero Gcs as i know. You can make in that way just go through how planview.qml ,mainrootwindow.qml is connected and planmastercontroller.cc file has all the required functionality you require. ---

I did get an error like this, what I did was copy-paste the error on [phind.com](http://phind.com) and it gave me a script to run on the terminal. What I know is that there are some of dependencies that the are needed that are system dependent and arent installed automatically ---
