h1. Building SV v3.0 installers on Windows

Version 3.0 of Sonic Visualiser now has a 64-bit version for Windows. The 32-bit version is also still supported.

* The *64-bit version* 64-bit version is built using Qt *Qt Creator with the *Microsoft Microsoft Visual C++ compiler*. Install 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and Qt 5.7 (or latest 5.x).

* The *32-bit version* 32-bit version is built using Qt *Qt Creator with the *MinGW MinGW compiler*. Install Qt 5.7 (or latest 5.x) with Qt Creator and ensure that the 32-bit MinGW option is available.

* The official 64-bit installer also includes some helper binaries from the 32-bit build, enabling it to use 32-bit Vamp plugins as well as 64-bit ones. So to make a 64-bit installer, we actually have to complete both builds.

h2. 32-bit build and installer

This process is similar to that introduced in v2.1 (see [[here|WindowsBuild21]]).
