h1. 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.

h2. 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@

h2. Use the right build configuration

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

Configure for

*
to do a *release* build -- the debug build dependencies are not correctly set at the time of writing
* using
build, with *g++/MinGW* tools -- the MSVC compiler is not supported
*
tools, and *disable shadow build* -- it will only link if built in-place in (currently the source tree

build must be in-place).
