I just ordered an M4 and am going through all the software setup so I will be ready to go once the M4 arrives.
I know this is a new product and I have some notes/info that may be useful to future users and the devs. I am setting everything up on a Laptop running Ubuntu 14.04.
-The git cloning option for GQC does not work for me because that is a 64 bit version of GQC. It took some time to find the 32 bit version of GQC.
-The next hurdle was QGC dependency on the latest version of QT (5.4 as of this writing). For some reason the latest versions of Ubuntu 14.04 build with QT 5.2. MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS GETTING THAT SORTED! Not helping things were the fact that the QGC instructions were to add a PPA that no longer exists for 5.4. I ended up finding another PPA which was the key to having QT 5.4 build itself.THIS ALL HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO BUILD QGC- as per the instructions.
Now I am looking at installing Mavlink.... I am not a big Linux command line/terminal guy-- Anyone have some verbose command line instructions to add Mavlink to my existing 32 bit QGC build?
Thanks!
