Windows version compile instructions

[effgarces]

I recently came across tg and your version and decided to take a stab at compiling it in windows. I wish I could say I was completely successful, but unfortunately the functionality related to the menu option "Signal" is still not working, but I did manage compile it correctly and with support for the "new-stuff" it's just when trying the signal part that I get an error related to numpy (ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath), which I believe is path issue, anyway hopefully these steps might be helpful and someone else can crack the puzzle, so onward:

Download and install MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org/

Add the folder "C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin" to the system path variable

Open the MSYS2 UCRT64

Install the required packages with: pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc make pkg-config mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-portaudio mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-fftw git autoconf automake libtool mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ninja mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-numpy mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-scipy mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-matplotlib mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-lapack mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cython mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-setuptools mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python-pip

Grab the libtfr library: git clone https://github.com/melizalab/libtfr.git

Install libtfr cd libtfr python setup.py install cd ..

Grab tg: git clone https://github.com/xyzzy42/tg.git git checkout new-stuff

Open the file src\audio.c and add #include <unistd.h> right after #include <errno.h> and then on the terminal:

./autogen.sh ./configure make

If all went well you should have a tg-timer.exe on your MSYS2 tg folder, that you can now execute with ./tg-timer.exe
