Building QMidiPlayer from source
Building QMidiPlayer from source is as easy as any other qmake projects.1. Get the dependencies.
Currently QMidiPlayer depends on these libraries:
qt5, libfluidsynth(FluidSynth), librtmidi(RtMidi)If you want to build the lite version as well, you need several QML core modules.
Get the libraries for your platform, open the project with Qt Creator, configure and hit Build! (You may also use the qmake-make way).
Please note that QMidiPlayer requires C++11 to build.

FAQs
0. (Windows version) It complains about a missing dll!
Please download and install Visual Studio 2015 Runtime Library.
Nighly builds are compiled with MSVC2017 (using Qt MSVC2015 x86, though). So you need two runtime libraries to run it. Damn.
Anyway, you are in the DLL Hell(TM), specific to Microsoft Windows(R).
