-====== Install QT and Dependencies for Windows ====== 
  
-This guide explains how to install the Qt toolchain and other dependencies for Windows.

-====== 1) Qt/SDL Installation ====== 
- 
-We are using [[wp>Qt]] 4.7-4.8 to develop [[start|QGroundControl]]. Binaries for SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer) are distributed with the source code of QGC, so you don't have to install SDL.

-===== 1a) Install QT for Visual Studio 2010 (OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED) ===== 
- 
-Download and install this library package.

- 
-===== 1b) Install QT for MinGW (NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED) ===== 
- 
-Skip this step if you followed the above steps for installing Qt for Visual Studio 2010. Building QGC without Visual Studio 2010 is not recommended because you will lose features like Speech Output and Google Earth support. Read the guide below if you still want to build Qt with MinGW.
