#### Build QGroundControl
1. Open the Qt Command Prompt program from the Start Menu
2. Change directory to your 'qgroundcontrol' source folder.
3. Run `qmake -tp vc qgroundcontrol.pro`. This will create a 'qgroundcontrol.vcxproj' project file which is capable of building both debug and release configurations.
4. Now open the generated 'qgroundcontrol.vcxproj' file in Visual Studio.
5. Compile and edit in Visual Studio. If you need to add new files, add them to qgroundcontrol.pro and re-run qmake from step 3.
3. Run `qmake -r -tp vc qgroundcontrol.pro`. This will create a 'qgroundcontrol.sln' *Solution* file which is capable of building both debug and release configurations.
4. Now open the generated 'qgroundcontrol.sln' file in Visual Studio.
5. Compile and edit in Visual Studio. If you need to add new files to the qgroundcontrol project, add them to qgcsystem.pro and re-run qmake from step 3.
Note that the *Solution* contains two projets. The main QGroundControl project and the QGC QtLocation Services plugin. From within Visual Studio, before running or debugging, make sure you have *qgroundcontrol* as the current project (right-click and select *Set as Current Project*)
#### Alternate (Qt Creator IDE) Build Type (Any OS)
All steps below assume you already have a running software development enviroment (i.e. gcc/g++ on Ubuntu, Xcode on Mac OSX along with the command line tools, Visual Studio on Windows, etc.) along with the various external dependencies described elsewhere in this document.
