| 1 | 1 | Chris Cannam | h1. Building SV v3.0 installers on Windows |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
| 3 | 1 | Chris Cannam | Version 3.0 of Sonic Visualiser now has a 64-bit version for Windows. The 32-bit version is also still supported. |
| 4 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
| 5 | 7 | Chris Cannam | * The *64-bit version* is built using Qt Creator with the *Microsoft Visual C++ compiler*. Install 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and then Qt 5.7 (or latest 5.x). |
| 6 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
| 7 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * The *32-bit version* is built using Qt Creator with the *MinGW compiler*. Install Qt 5.7 (or latest 5.x) with Qt Creator and ensure that the 32-bit MinGW option is available. |
| 8 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
| 9 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * 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. |
| 10 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
| 11 | 3 | Chris Cannam | In both cases the dependent libraries we use are found in the @sv-dependency-builds@ subrepo which is now checked out as a matter of course with the SV repo. There should be no other external dependencies besides Qt and the runtime libraries it needs. |
| 12 | 3 | Chris Cannam | |
| 13 | 3 | Chris Cannam | h2. Which SV branch to use |
| 14 | 3 | Chris Cannam | |
| 15 | 3 | Chris Cannam | Currently 3.0 release preparation is happening in the @3.0-integration@ branch, but when 3.0 is actually released, it will be merged to the @default@ branch. |
| 16 | 3 | Chris Cannam | |
| 17 | 2 | Chris Cannam | h2. 32-bit build and installer |
| 18 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
| 19 | 4 | Chris Cannam | h4. Build |
| 20 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 21 | 4 | Chris Cannam | This process is similar to that introduced in v2.1 (see [[here|WindowsBuild21]]), except that we now *do* use a shadow build. |
| 22 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 23 | 4 | Chris Cannam | * Check out the correct branch (@3.0-integration@ or @default@ as described above) |
| 24 | 4 | Chris Cannam | * Open the main @sonic-visualiser.pro@ project in Qt Creator |
| 25 | 5 | Chris Cannam | * Set up a *release build* using *Desktop Qt 5.7.0 MinGW 32-bit* as a *shadow build* |
| 26 | 5 | Chris Cannam | * (Re)build All |
| 27 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 28 | 7 | Chris Cannam | If the build was successful, you should now be able to run Sonic Visualiser from within the IDE. (You can't run the binary from the Windows Explorer, as Qt and other dependencies won't be found.) |
| 29 | 6 | Chris Cannam | |
| 30 | 4 | Chris Cannam | h4. Installer |
| 31 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 32 | 4 | Chris Cannam | h2. 64-bit build and installer |
| 33 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 34 | 4 | Chris Cannam | h4. Build |
| 35 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 36 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * Check out the correct branch (@3.0-integration@ or @default@ as described above) |
| 37 | 4 | Chris Cannam | * Open the main @sonic-visualiser.pro@ project in Qt Creator |
| 38 | 5 | Chris Cannam | * Set up a *release build* using *Desktop Qt 5.7.0 MSVC 64-bit* as a *shadow build* |
| 39 | 6 | Chris Cannam | * (Re)build All |
| 40 | 6 | Chris Cannam | |
| 41 | 7 | Chris Cannam | If the build was successful, you should now be able to run Sonic Visualiser from within the IDE. (You can't run the binary from the Windows Explorer, as Qt and other dependencies won't be found.) |
| 42 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 43 | 4 | Chris Cannam | h4. Installer |
| 44 | 4 | Chris Cannam | |
| 45 | 4 | Chris Cannam | The 64-bit installer needs files from both the 64- and 32-bit builds. |
