RAT MP

Extensible music player for Windows and Linux, inspired by foobar2000.

Uses FFmpeg libraries for audio codecs, so whatever FFmpeg supports is supported by RAT MP.

Building From Source

Prerequisites:

• Latest odin compiler from https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin
• Python 3.11+
• For Windows:
  • Visual Studio 2016+ (release builds are compiled with 2022, but 2016 should theoretically work)
  • vcpkg

Clone the repository and set up submodules: git clone https://github.com/jdennis9/ratmp.git && cd ratmp

git submodule update --init --recursive

[Windows] Setting up dependencies

Make sure these packages are installed via vcpkg in your desired triplet:

• ffmpeg [with zlib support]
• fftw3
• freetype
• taglib [with tag_c]

Run the import_dependencies_from_vcpkg.py script.

Usage:

import_dependencies_from_vcpkg.py [--dry-run, --dynamic] <path-to-vcpkg-triplet-root>

Example importing headers and dynamic libraries from x64-windows-release triplet:

import_dependencies_from_vcpkg.py --dynamic C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-release

Or importing static libraries:

import_dependencies_from_vcpkg.py C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static-release

Building ImGui

Change directory into src/thirdparty/odin-imgui.

In build.py:

• [Windows] Set wanted_backends to ["win32", "dx11"]
• [Linux] Set wanted_backends to ["glfw", "opengl3"]
• Set use_freetype to True

Then run the script.

Building bindings

Go back to the root directory.

[Windows] Run build_bindings.bat.

[Linux] Run build_bindings.sh

If all dependencies were installed properly, this should just work.

Compiling executable

Create directory out/debug

[Windows] Run build.bat.

[Linux] Run build.sh.

All arguments passed to the script will be passed to the Odin compiler. If no arguments are passed, a debug build is produced.

For example, to produce a release build on Windows:

build.bat -o:speed -subsystem:windows
