QGroundControl for Linux

[Max]

Did you pull a copy of the repo?

git clone https://github.com/AutoQuad/qgroundcontrol.git

The qgroundcontrol.pro file should be right in the root of wherever you pull it to.

@Max, sorry have been away and busy.

Yes I did. I couldn't find this file in my system at all, searched for it.. that was my question..

I think I've done something wrong or pulling the copy was incomplete.. I will try again and let you know.. I'm away and I will have access to the Linux machine after 1 day..

Thanks again

Hello,

I am quite new to this community, in fact this is my first post. But this is probably not the best place to introduce my self so I'll just start asking my questions and leave that for another thread.

Today I installed Ubuntu in order to do the calibrations for my new Hacker UAV30 18L motors. Everything worked perfectly fine. This is the first time i was using Linux, but I had a system admin on my side... We had a lot of fun testing these motors. Ill provide the calculated Data if you guys are interessted.
Then we build QGC from source which worked even though we got quite a few errors. But its running now.
The Problem I have with is that i can not connect to the AQ or the esc32's with my Flyduino USB-UART adapter. There was no Problem connecting to the ESC32 from command line. And I got a connection to AQ with Windows 7 before as well.
The Terminal prints:
"QSerialPort::open(/dev/ttyUSB0) failed: Permission denied(Err #13)"
when i try to connect the ESC32.
Do you have any idea what causes this error? Thank you very much for this great community. I can't wait to see my Y6 flying with these motors! Ill defenatly do some documentation and post on the forum.
Kind regards
Lukas

Simple check ... try to run QGS as root.

Hi,

I was able to solve the QtSpeech issue: CURL was missing !
nevertheless, the installation throws some errors.

When attempting to start QGroundcontrol by clicking the PLAY button I still get this error message:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit svg
13:00:46: The process "/usr/bin/qmake" exited with code 3.
Error while building/deploying project qgroundcontrol (kit: Desktop)
When executing step 'qmake'
13:00:46: Elapsed time: 00:00.

Any idea how to solve this?

Hi Joerg,

If you for some reason also have qt5 installed, make sure QtCreator is using Qt4 in the project config. Qt4 should show up in "build kits" in Creator options. And check that the Qt4 build type is selected before hitting the Go button (you probably want the Release type build as well).

If that's not the problem, then you're missing those Qt modules. You can try apt-get installing them: I think it's libqt4-webkit and libqt4-svg. Thought I'm surprised if they didn't get installed by default along with qt4.

Cheers,

Anybody an idea what I can do to get QGroundControl compiled on my Linux?
I have already checked that qt4 4.8.4 is installed in fact I already have 4.8.5 installed.
But I keep getting the following error:

What is missing for the compilation working?
Would be great if someone could poitn me in the right direction.

Thanks and best regards,

I'd ignore the festival build errors and try to build QGC anyway. Or have you tried that? You may need to `apt-get install festival-dev` first.
