I love Windows.
New build instructions using cmake. Fixed Windows version of qmpPluginManager::scanPlugins. Fixed wrong linking order (?).

# General instructions
-Use qmake or Qt Creator.
+
+```
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.chrisoft.org/git/QMidiPlayer.git
+mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)
+```
Dependencies:
-> libfluidsynth 2.x, Qt5, Qt quick controls(lite version) and RtMidi.
+> cmake (3.10), pkg-config, libfluidsynth 2.x, RtMidi and Qt5.
+
+If you want to build the default visualization plugin, you need some additional libraries:
+
+> glfw3, glew, DevIL, zlib, freetype
C++14 is _required_ to build the project.
-To build the default visualization plugin, you need the latest SMELT library
-(along with all its dependencies), which can be found
-[here](https://github.com/BearKidsTeam/SMELT).
-
-Some dependencies in the project file are hard-coded paths. You may
-have to modify them first. Alternatively, you can set the environmental
-variable `SMELT_DIR` to where your SMELT build is.
-
-If you don't want to build the default visualization plugin, just remove
-the line containing "visualization" in qmidiplayer.pro.
-
-# Instruction for dumbs
-
-1. Get SMELT [here](https://github.com/BearKidsTeam/SMELT).
-2. Get the source code [here](https://github.com/chirs241097/QMidiPlayer).
-3. The following steps are done in an interactive shell.
-4. Change directory (`cd`) to the folder with the source code of SMELT.
- type `make` to build it.
-5. Type `export QMP_BUILD_MODE=1` to allow QMP to scan plugins in
- /usr/lib/qmidiplayer.
-6. Type `export SMELT_DIR=<path to the folder with SMELT in it>` in order
- to tell qmake where SMELT is.
-7. Change directory to the folder with the source code of QMidiPlayer.
- type `qmake` and then `make` to build it. Appending `PREFIX=/usr` to `qmake`
- is highly recommended because QMidiPlayer only scans for plugins in
- working directory and /usr/lib/qmidiplayer at this moment.
-8. Use `sudo make install` to install QMidiPlayer.
+Check out `make edit_cache` for more options.
+
+Lite version is currently not built.
+
+# Using Windows?
+
+Since `pkg-config` is barely usable on Windows, the answer is I don't know.
+Currently I use [mxe](https://mxe.cc) for Windows builds.
+
+If you are using msvc, I would recommend trying out [this fork](https://github.com/chirs241097/fluidsynth-sans-glib/)
+of fluidsynth to reduce your potential pain when building QMidiPlayer.
