Download development builds

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

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.
