Re: [Mixxx-devel] Building Mixxx with MinGW on a Linux machine

[Philip Whelan]

Unfortunately, it looks like we will never switch to qmake, especially
since the build servers are setup to use it. Qtcreator has some support for
SCons already, http://scons.org/wiki/IDEIntegration#Qt_Creator, so there
seems to be little benefit to the switch.

Of course you can always use it if you want but any changes that use it
won't make it into the mainline.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Building Mixxx with MinGW on a Linux machine

[Steven Boswell II]

I finally built Fedora RPMs for all of Mixxx's dependencies, got them to pass 
rpmlint/mock/fedora-review, and even submitted a few 
package-requests, so they might actually end up in Fedora's repos.  
Until then, here's a github repo containing all the files you'll need to turn 
Fedora Core's standard packages into their MinGW equivalents:

https://github.com/ulatekh/fedora-mingw-ardour.git

(It's
 a branch of someone else's similarly-themed archive, but for Ardour's 
dependencies.  Mixxx and Ardour share several dependencies.)

You'll
 need to build and install (in order) libmad, portmidi, protobuf, libid3tag, 
taglib, flac, gsm,
 libsndfile, libsamplerate, portaudio, jack-audio-connection-kit, 
kde-filesystem, and phonon.

Coming soon: phonon, qt (rebuilt to use phonon), vamp-plugin-sdk, and hss1394.

I got Mixxx to build with them using scons, the dist32 directory is created 
properly, and the result runs fine under MS Windows!

Here's my branch:

lp:~ulatekh/mixxx/mingw

Next project...getting the scons-driven NSIS build to make an installer!  I 
haven't even tried it yet, but I don't have time now...I'm going out of town 
tomorrow.  I'll continue when I get back!  Until then...feel free to try it out!

Hello,
CMake seems to be (What comes out) old fashion Makefile system I that I happens

What are benefits (other than faster building and somehow cleaner configuraion

I could probably do it because it sounds 'fun' task but after I somehow get

Hello,
That is also correct.. I have couple of thought what I like to make 
mostly little maintaining and adding some features. This is not correct 
place to ask but should output engine to make work that way one could 
record one or more formats or use many shoutcast servers (with many 
bitrates or ogg/mp3/aac)


Thanks,

The mixxx.pro in the  lp:~ulatekh/ mixxx/mingw branch has been brought up to 
date, at least as much as I know how to; feel free to try it out.

FYI, I've built mingw-phonon, but am still struggling to rebuild mingw-qt so 
that it'll use phonon.  Once that's done, I can enable vinylcontrol and hid in 
the MinGW build!

The branch at lp:~ulatekh/mixxx/mingw 
 is the result of 
my work so far.


The qmake version (i.e. build/qtcreator/mixxx.pro) is a bit clunky, 
but can be made to work.


Here's my scons command to cross-compile the MS Windows version:

scons ladspa=0 shoutcast=0 hifieq=1 script=0 optimize=0 ffmpeg=0 
target=windows crosscompile_root=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw 
hss1394=0 vamp=0 vinylcontrol=0 hid=0 sqlitedll=0


I haven't built hss1394 for MinGW yet, vinylcontrol and hid depend on 
phonon (which has heavy dependencies, like KDE :-), and I'm still 
trying to build a MinGW version of jack-audio-connection-kit -- until 
then, Mixxx uses DirectSound.


Many of the packages that Mixxx depends on are not in the yum repos.  
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1179683 for an archive 
containing .spec files and patches that can be used to transform the 
standard versions of the dependencies into the MinGW versions.  The 
archive is specific to Fedora Core 18, but I provided enough 
information to let you adjust my work to your own Linux distribution.


Give it a go, let me know if it works for you!

Longer term, I'm trying to get these dependencies submitted to Fedora, 
but based on the VERY long list of packages awaiting review, I doubt 
it'll ever happen.  I don't know if we can set up a yum repo on 
mixxx.org, but that would be one solution.
