Compilation of Traverso on Windows

Compiling Traverso on Windows

Since some of the mentioned libraries on the requirements page aren't readily available on the Windows platform, we supply them precompiled to ease your and our compilation process on Windows.

Trolltech provides a Windows installer for the Qt libraries which also contains the mingw compiler. We will use the mingw compiler too, so please download a Qt installer that also has the mingw compiler included! (the download link ends with mingw.exe)

Download the source tarball, or check out traverso from cvs, and download this zip file, unpack it into the root directory of either the unpacked source tarball or cvs checkout!

Compilation

Make sure the /path/to/traverso/thirdparty/lib is added to your PATH environment variable, and that you compile with the STATIC_BUILD and PORTAUDIO_SUPPORT define, which can can be found in traverso/src/base.pri, uncomment if needed.
LV2, JACK and ALSA support don't work on Windows, those will be automatically disabled!

Now the normal compilation process can be started, but we'll mention it here for your convenience:

cd /path/to/traverso/source
qmake
make

If everything goes fine, you'll end up with a traverso.exe executable which is ready to run!

You of course also can use the installer for released or beta versions, which can be found here
Using the installer is the preferred way for most users!
