Building Mixxx

First, open a terminal (on Windows, use "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for [VS 2019][visualstudio2019]"), download the mixxx source code and navigate to it:

$ git clone https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx.git
$ cd mixxx

Fetch the required dependencies and set up the build environment by running the corresponding command for your operating system:

OS	Command
Windows	tools\windows_buildenv.bat
macOS	source tools/macos_buildenv.sh setup
Debian/Ubuntu	tools/debian_buildenv.sh setup
Fedora	tools/rpm_buildenv.sh setup
Other Linux distros	See the wiki article

            PACKAGES_EXTRA=(
                libavformat-dev
            )

    sudo apt-get update

There should now be a mixxx executable in the current directory that you can run. Alternatively, can generate a package using cpack.

Documentation

    # This avoids a package deadlock, resulting in jackd2 being removed, and jackd1 being installed,

Translation

Help to spread Mixxx with translations into more languages, as well as to update and ensure the accuracy of existing translations. # jackd dev library, so let's give it one.. if [ "$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' jackd2 2>/dev/null | grep -c "ok installed")" -eq 1 ]; then sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev; fi
