How to build
DeaDBeeF
Beefweb has two distinctive parts: server plugin and web user interface.
To build server you'll need a descent C++ compiler such as gcc or clang and a recent version of cmake.
To build web UI you'll need node runtime and yarn package manager.
The following command will build server, ui and .tar.gz package:
$ scripts/build.sh --all --release
Get ddb_beefweb-*.tar.gz from build/release directory.
You could also build debug version by switching --release to --debug.
foobar2000
You'll need to install Visual Studio (currently tested with VS2015 Community).
The following programs should be installed in addition:
git version control system, node runtime, yarn package manager, cmake build system, 7z archiver and curl HTTP client.
These programs should be available in PATH.
Open Visual Studio command prompt, navigate to project directory, run the following command:
> msbuild scripts\build.proj /p:Configuration=Release
Get foo_beefweb-*.fb2k-component from build\release directory.
You could also build debug version by switching /p:Configuration=Release to /p:Configuration=Debug
