Building SV v2.1 for Windows¶

It should now be possible to build Sonic Visualiser on Windows using the Qt Creator IDE. A special branch of the SV code is available which includes all the dependency libraries pre-built for your compiling and linking pleasure.

Get the right branch¶

Start by checking out the with-dependencies branch from Mercurial:

$ hg clone -b with-dependencies https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/sonic-visualiser

Use the right build configuration¶

Open the main sonic-visualiser.pro project in Qt5 Creator.

Configure to do a release build, with g++/MinGW tools, and disable shadow build (currently the build must be in-place).
