https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/How-does-MSYS2-differ-from-Cygwin
```
Cygwin: Gives you application support for POSIX compatible API, build and run environment. Useful when you have a native POSIX application you want to compile and run on a windows box.
MSYS2: API's and build environment. This is useful when you have something like a library you want to use that requires autotools or has a complicated build system.
MinGW: POSIX API. Useful if you want to compile, or especially cross compile using gcc, use POSIX api's and have access to unix command line tools.
```
1) Install Visual Studio Community:
https://www.visualstudio.com/
2) Configure Visual Studio build environment
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MSVC#Settingtheenvironment
Sets source and target architecture to x64:
```cmd
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Preview\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64
```
3) Clone [fluidsynth ](https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth ) repository:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:FluidSynth/fluidsynth.git
```
4) Install msys2 toolchain:
http://www.msys2.org/
> MSYS2 is a software distro and building platform for Windows
> an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64
> provides a bash shell, Autotools, revision control systems and the like for building native Windows applications using MinGW-w64 toolchains
> features a package management system to provide easy installation of packages, Pacman
5) Grab latest package definitions:
Press the Start key to search for and launch an MSYS2 command prompt. Named `MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit` .
```
pacman -Syu
```
It may ask you to close the terminal and run update one more time:
```
pacman -Su
```
6) install libfluidsynth.dll:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-fluidsynth/PKGBUILD
```
pacman -S --needed mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-fluidsynth
```
```
$ pacman -S --needed mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-fluidsynth

6) Install CLion
https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/nextversion/
6) Install MinGW toolchain
Required for CLion integration.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36375081/how-to-run-clion-with-msys2-on-windows
You don't need all the packages here (like Ada, Fortran, Objective-C...), but space is cheap so just install all.
```bash
pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
```
7) Configure CLion
Add MinGW Toolchain:
```
C:\msys64\mingw64
```
8) Install [VST3 Audio Plug-Ins SDK ](https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html )
2018-06-14 03:23:44 +08:00
Such that this folder exists:
```
C:\SDKs\VST_SDK\VST3_SDK
```
2018-06-14 05:00:06 +08:00
9) Install JUCE and Projucer
2018-06-14 03:23:44 +08:00
https://shop.juce.com/get-juce
JUCE should be installed to C:\\Juce
2018-06-14 05:00:06 +08:00
10) With Projucer, open juicysfplugin/juicysfplugin.jucer
2018-06-14 03:23:44 +08:00
2018-06-15 23:44:54 +08:00
11) Register MergeMod.dll
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42624572/unrecoverable-build-error-whilst-trying-to-build-setup-on-vs2015
If you encounter "Unrecoverable build error" when building juicysfplugin's setup.exe installer, you need to open an administrator prompt and register MergeMod.dll:
```bash
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools\MergeMod.dll"
```
2018-06-14 03:23:44 +08:00

10) Install LLVM
https://releases.llvm.org/download.html
2018-06-14 03:23:44 +08:00
5.onsecondthoughtsdon't) Configure MSYS2 environment
Press the Start key to search for and launch an MSYS2 command prompt. Named `MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit` .
Ensure that on MSYS2's path, Visual Studio's cl and link programs have the highest precedence:
```bash
echo 'export PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/Preview/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.14.26428/bin/Hostx64/x64/:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
```
Ensure that any libs or headers you wish to include are added to the path:
```bash
echo 'export LIB="EXAMPLE:$LIB"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export INCLUDE="EXAMPLE:$INCLUDE"' >> ~/.bashrc
```
