|
:::warning
|
|
This development environment is [community supported and maintained](../advanced/community_supported_dev_env.md).
|
|
It may or may not work with current versions of PX4.
|
|
|
|
Qt Creator has been replaced by [VSCode](../dev_setup/vscode.md) as the officially supported (and recommended) IDE for PX4 development.
|
|
See [Toolchain Installation](../dev_setup/dev_env.md) for information about the environments and tools supported by the core development team.

|
[Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/development/download-open-source) is a popular cross-platform open-source IDE that can be used to compile and debug PX4.
|
|
|
|
## Qt Creator Functionality
|
|
|
|
Qt creator offers clickable symbols, auto-completion of the complete codebase and building and flashing firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The video below shows how it is used.

|
## IDE Setup
|
|
|
|
### Qt Creator on Linux
|
|
|
|
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 ../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
|
|
|
|
::: info
|

### 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 - Unix Makefiles"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it! Start _Qt Creator_ and then set up the project to build.
