###### Special case for Xcode 8 and Qt 5.5.1
Xcode 8 broke the Qt 5.5.1 build system (qmake). As this is the version of Qt we're using for the moment, you will need to patch your Qt installation to make the build work. This is for both Mac OS X and iOS.
Under the tools directory, you will find a script used by the CI build to patch Qt (`patch_qt_for_xcode8.sh`). You can use this script as a starting point. You will need to edit a few variables it expects to run:
```
IOSDIR=/<your_qt_path>/Qt/5.5/ios
OSXDIR=/<your_qt_path>/Qt/5.5/clang_64
TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR=/<your_github_repo>/qgroundcontrol
```
#### Vagrant
A Vagrantfile is provided to build QGroundControl using the [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) system. This will produce a native Linux build which can be run in the Vagrant Virtual Machine or on the host machine if it is compatible.
