Hi all, I have built QGC from source using Qt Creator 5.7.1 without it throwing any errors, but when I try to run the program (running “./qgroundcontrol-start.sh” or “./QGroundControl” at the command line in the debug folder of the build directory), the terminal gives the following message: “QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.” Nothing else happens.
Should I disable QML debugging, whatever that may be, and if so, how? There is no “release” folder to be found–though I just wanted to build it, not debug it… I have never used Qt before, so any advice beyond the basic instructions provided here would be very much appreciated!
EDIT: I found the “Build Release” option in Qt, but having compiled a release version without errors and attempted to run it, I get… absolutely nothing. No errors, just… nothing!
My name name is Sergio. I am new with qgroundcontrol and ardupilot. I cannot help you by the moment because I am an step behind you. I would be very grateful if you could help me.
I am trying to build qgroundcontrol without success. I have downloaded and installed visual studio 2015 and qt version5.7.1. I have opening the qgroundcontrol.pro project, but when I build the project I get the next error:
“rc” no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘rc’ : return code ‘0x1’
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe”’ : return code ‘0x2’
Stop.

Error while building/deploying project qgroundcontrol (kit: Desktop Qt 5.7.1 MSVC2015 32bit)
The kit Desktop Qt 5.7.1 MSVC2015 32bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.

I have been looking for it in google but I have not find the error. Could you/someone please help me?
Okay, got it to run on Linux, but no such luck on Mac. Stupid question, but to get it to run on a Mac, do I have to actually compile it on a Mac, or can I use the same binary that I compiled on my Linux box?
Thank you very much.
I reinstalled vissual studio a couple of times more and, at the end, I have compiled it. (in a different pc with windows 10. I have pending to compile on windows 7).
Later, I have installed the windows debugger and then I can debug too.
Hi @sergio222,
I want to build qgc from source in windows using vs2017
I couldn’t find any instructions how to do it.
Could you give me some directions
The developer guide walks you step by step through building the code…
But i really suggest that you build it on linux system, because on windows it might be very troublesome, i spent like a month on windows and didn’t get the result while following with the guide.
So spare yourself time and use linux, it is much easier and a lot less steps
Hello, I just started working with QGC and having following problems. I build QGC from source without any error, however as I try to run with ./qgroundcontrol-start.sh, it says no such file in directory although I install qt in my default directory as mentioned. Since that didn’t work I located the directory of the .sh file and found it in the deploy folder and then I changed the directory to deploy folder and try running it. This is it says " ./qgroundcontrol-start.sh: 10: ./qgroundcontrol-start.sh: /home/tabassum/qgroundcontrol/deploy/QGroundControl: not found" .
My questions are:
does the “qgroundcontrol-start.sh” file supposed to be in that deploy directory if my build was correct?
if my build is correct what may the reason I could not run this even though I am in the correct folder?
Your response is greatly appreciated. I have installed qt 5.12.6. as mentioned.
