Download the latest GNU/Linux builds

Whilst OSX/Cocoa version can be used, it is unfinished and is under heavy development. Don't put your expectations too high yet.

Download the latest OSX build

• Install git, GCC toolchain, then clone the repo
• Install autoconf, automake, libtool, intltool, autopoint
• Run ./autogen.sh to bootstrap
• Read the generated INSTALL file and ./configure --help for instructions
• See the README file for more information

• Install XCode, and run sudo xcode-select --install; This would also get you git etc
• Clone the deadbeef repo, and fetch the dependencies: git submodule update --init
• Install Yasm -- unpack the source, then run ./configure && make -j8 && sudo make install
• Run xcodebuild -project osx/deadbeef.xcodeproj -target DeaDBeeF -configuration Release
• Get the output: osx/build/Release/DeaDBeeF.app
• OR open the osx/deadbeef.xcodeproj in XCode, and build/run from there

• Install 64-bit version of msys2 and ensure it has updated repositories (pacman -Syu)
• premake5 is also needed
• Get needed dependencies: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libzip mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-dlfcn mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc git make tar xz
• Get a basic set of libraries for most important plugins: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-jansson mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 mingw-w64-x86_64-mpg123 mingw-w64-x86_64-flac mingw-w64-x86_64-portaudio
• Check Windows plugin status for other plugins dependencies and its functionality
• Ensure that you are in mingw64 shell (run mingw64.exe) and clone this repo
• From deadbeef main directory run premake5.exe --file=premake5-win.lua --os=linux gmake --standard using your corresponding path to premake5.exe
• Compile with make config=debug_windows (debug version) or make config=release_windows (strip/normal version)
• If you compiled with multiple jobs (-j) run make resources_windows to make sure all libraries are copied
• Binaries will be placed in bin/debug or bin/release
• GTK3 uses Windows-10 theme and Windows-10-Icons by default. If they are not in msys2 tree, then they must be placed manually in share/icons and share/themes. Eventually you get different theme and set it in etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file.
