Building

Install devel packages for SDL2 and SDL2_mixer.\

Compile with CMake; tested with GCC 10, Clang 11.
To cross-compile for Windows, install a 64-bit version of mingw and its SDL2 and SDL2_mixer distributions, then use the mingwcc.cmake toolchain.

# On Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt install cmake build-essential ninja-build libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-2.0-0 fluidsynth

# On Fedora
sudo dnf install cmake ninja-build SDL2 SDL2-devel SDL2_mixer SDL2_mixer-devel fluidsynth fluidsynth-libs mscore-fonts g++

# Build
cmake -GNinja .
ninja
