Is it possible to build on a modern system? #3066

Closed dark-penguin closed 8 months ago

dark-penguin commented 8 months ago

Would it be possible to build deadbeef on a modern system, e.g. at least Debian Stable (Bookworm)? I'm trying (following the build instructions), but I'm running into all kinds of problems - mostly stuff being too outdated to be in the repos (gtk2, libdispatch...)

Barring that, what's the actual build process used nowadays? I'd assume something involving building a static build with Docker, but I couldn't figure it out completely on my own.

(I want to contribute, but I have to test my changes first, and for that, I need to figure out how to build the project. I'd be willing to help update the docs so that other potential contributors would be able to figure it out quickly.)
