		<h3 id="build">Building QMidiPlayer from source</h3>
		Building QMidiPlayer from source is as easy as any other qmake projects.<br>
		1. Get the dependencies.<br>
		Currently QMidiPlayer depends on these libraries:<br>
		<pre style="background-color:#eee;padding:0.2em;">qt5, libfluidsynth(FluidSynth), librtmidi(RtMidi)</pre>
		If you want to build the lite version as well, you need several QML core modules.<br>
		Get the libraries for your platform, open the project with Qt Creator, configure and hit Build!
		(You may also use the qmake-make way).<br>
		Please note that QMidiPlayer <i>requires</i> C++11 to build.
