   export GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner"
   export GST_PLUGIN_PATH="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/gstreamer-1.0"

   mkdir build
   cd build

(If you already did `git clone`, do `git pull` to make sure you have the latest code).

Configure build

   PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/pkgconfig cmake --log-level="DEBUG" -S ../strawberry -B . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON -DUSE_BUNDLE=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/cmake" -DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/bin/pkg-config" -DICU_ROOT="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release" -DFFTW3_DIR="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release" -DENABLE_DBUS=OFF -DGETTEXT_MSGMERGE_EXECUTABLE="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/bin/msgmerge" -DGETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/bin/msgfmt" -DGETTEXT_XGETTEXT_EXECUTABLE="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/bin/xgettext"

Build

   make -j 4
   make install

Manually copy files

You need to manually copy libsoup-3.0.0.dylib, as this library needs to be loaded by gstreamer at runtime:

   mkdir -p strawberry.app/Contents/Frameworks
   cp /opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/libsoup-3.0.0.dylib strawberry.app/Contents/Frameworks/

Deploy

   export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/gio/modules"
   export GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner"
   export GST_PLUGIN_PATH="/opt/strawberry_macos_x86_64_release/lib/gstreamer-1.0"

   make deploy
