Building Audacious with Qt UI on Windows

Added by Róbert Čerňanský over 7 years ago

Hello, while porting Ampache Browser to Windows I needed to build the Qt version of Audacious there. I've prepared instructions in case someone else is interested:

1. Prepare MSYS2 and MinGW-w64

1.1 Download MSYS2 and install it to C:\msys2 according to https://msys2.github.io.

1.2 Start MSYS2 shell.

1.3 Install development packages (replace i686 with x86_64 for 64 bit):

$ pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-i686-toolchain

2. Install dependencies

2.1 Install dependencies available as packages (replace i686 with x86_64 for 64 bit):

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-qt5 mingw-w64-i686-flac \
  mingw-w64-i686-mpg123 mingw-w64-i686-ffmpeg \
  mingw-w64-i686-curl mingw-w64-i686-cmake

2.2 Prepare for building from source:

Start MinGW32 (or MinGW64 for 64 bit) shell and set following environment variables:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/libs/lib/pkgconfig:/c/aud/lib/pkgconfig
$ export CPATH=/c/libs/include
$ export LIBRARY_PATH=/c/libs/lib
$ export PATH=${PATH}:/c/libs/bin:/c/aud/bin

2.3. Install neon library (from source):

Download from http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.30.1.tar.gz and unpack to C:\neon. In MinGW32/64 shell:

$ cd /c/neon
$ CFLAGS="-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1" ./configure --prefix /c/libs --with-ssl --enable-shared --disable-static
$ make
$ make install

2.4. Install Ampache Browser library (from source):

Download from https://github.com/ampache-browser/ampache_browser/archive/v0.0.2.tar.gz and unpack to C:\ampache_browser. In MinGW32/64 shell:

$ cd /c/ampache_browser
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/libs ..
$ make
$ make install

3. Install Audacious and plugins

Download from http://distfiles.audacious-media-player.org/audacious-3.8-beta2.tar.bz2 and unpack to C:\audacious. In MinGW32/64 shell:

$ cd /c/audacious

In case of 64 bit environment make a following "patch":

$ sed -i "s/ -march=i686//" acinclude.m4
$ autoreconf

then continue with:

$ ./configure --prefix /c/aud --enable-qt --disable-gtk
$ make
$ make install

Download from http://distfiles.audacious-media-player.org/audacious-plugins-3.8-beta2.tar.bz2 and unpack to C:\audacious-plugins. In MinGW32/64 shell:

$ cd /c/audacious-plugins

In case of 64 bit environment make a following "patch":

$ sed -i "s/ -march=i686//" acinclude.m4
$ autoreconf

then continue with:

$ ./configure --prefix /c/aud --enable-qt --disable-gtk
$ make
$ make install

4. Run Audacious

$ audacious.exe

To run Audacious outside of MSYS environment, copy files from C:\aud, C:\libs, C:\msys2\mingw32\bin and C:\msys2\mingw32\share\qt5 (or C:\msys2\mingw64\bin and C:\msys2\mingw64\share\qt5) to a separate directory so that its content is following:

64 bit version contains libgcc_s_seh-1.dll instead of libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll in bin directory.

Note, neon and Ampache Browser libraries are optional.
