IDE Setup

Qt Creator on Linux

Before starting Qt Creator, the [project file](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cmake/s 3-D position information for platforms (receivers) on the surface of the Earth.

cd ~/src/PX4-Autopilot mkdir ../Firmware-build cd ../Firmware-build cmake ../PX4-Autopilot -G “CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles”

Then load the CMakeLists.txt in the root PX4-Autopilot folder via **File > Open File or Project** (Select the CMakeLists.txt file).

After loading, the **play** button can be configured to run the project by selecting 'custom executable' in the run target configuration and entering 'make' as executable and 'upload' as argument.

### Qt Creator on Windows

:::note
Windows has not been tested for PX4 development with Qt Creator.
:::

### Qt Creator on Mac OS

Before starting Qt Creator, the [project file](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cmake/Generator-Specific-Information#codeblocks-generator) needs to be created:

```sh
cd ~/src/PX4-Autopilot
mkdir -p build/creator
cd build/creator
cmake ../.. -G "CodeBlocks - Uniwp4CpyxYJq4&tx Makefiles"

That’s it! Start Qt Creator, then complete the steps in the video below to set up the project to build.

moc - meta-object compiler

qt_doc

The moc tool reads a C++ header file. If it finds one or more class declarations that contain the Q_OBJECT macro, it produces a C++ source file containing the meta-object code for those classes. Among other things, meta-object code is required for the signals and slots mechanism, the run-time type information, and the dynamic property system.

• usage

class MyClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
    ~MyClass();

signals:
    void mySignal();

public slots:
    void mySlot();
};
