How to build Qmmp for MS Windows (Qt5-based version)

1. Install 7-Zip, NSIS, Subversion and CMake

2. Create initial directory structure

C:/devel
|--mingw32
|--msys
|--mingw32-libs
|--qt5

3. Download i686-11.2.0-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v9-rev4.7z from here and unpack it to C:/devel/mingw32

4. Download msys+7za+wget+svn+git+mercurial+cvs-rev13.7z from here and unpack it to C:/devel/msys

  • Replace C:/devel/msys/bin/wget.exe by latest wget.exe
  • Update root certificates from here if required.
  • Remove old svn client: C:/devel/msys/bin/svn.exe

5. Create environment variables PATH and QTDIR with the following content: 

PATH=C:\devel\msys\bin;C:\devel\qt5\bin;C:\devel\mingw32\bin;C:\devel\mingw32\opt\bin;C:\devel\mingw32-libs\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip;C:\Program Files\7-Zip;C:\Program Files (x86)\Subversion\bin
QTDIR=C:\devel\qt5

5. Download qmmp build scripts 

cd C:\devel
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/qmmp-dev/code/trunk/extras/package/win32/ qmmp-win32

6. Check paths in the following files: 

C:\devel\qmmp-win32\start_sh.cmd
C:\devel\qmmp-win32\qmmp-1-win32.sh
C:\devel\qmmp-win32\contrib\mingw-libs.sh
C:\devel\qmmp-win32\contrib\start_sh.cmd

7. Install all required libraries. You should start C:\devel\qmmp-win32\contrib\start_sh.cmd and execute the following commands: 

./mingw-libs.sh --download
./mingw-libs.sh --install

8. Install Qt libraries. You should start C:\devel\qmmp-win32\contrib\start_sh.cmd and execute the following commands: 

./qt5.sh --download
./qt5.sh --install

9. Compile and prepare qmmp package. You should start C:\devel\qmmp-win32\start_sh.cmd and execute the following commands: 

./qmmp-1-win32.sh --download
./qmmp-1-win32.sh --install

10. All required files will be in the directory C:\devel\qmmp-win32\tmp\qmmp-distr. Add extra files, modify qmmp.nsi and create package using NSIS installed before.
