Building

Windows/Linux

Uses MSYS2 on Windows.

• Download libopenmpt from here, build and install.
• Download game-music-emu 0.6.2, from here, apply contrib/gme-0.6.2-playlist_patch.diff, build and install (use -G "MSYS Makefiles" if on Windows). The patch improves playlist compatibility with music files from *.joshw.info.
• Install prerequisites (libportaudio, libarchive, SDL2, fftw etc).
• Run make (if on Ubuntu, remove -liconv dependency).

Notes

You can find a bunch of interesting bitmap fonts to try out here, not all of them work though.
