Don't have perl in path
 
== Developer setup for Qt Multimedia ==
 
=== Initializing Qt Repo for Qt 6 with necessary dependencies for QtMultimedia ===
This init-repository initializes the necessary Qt submodules for working with QtMultimedia:<blockquote>C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtquick3d,qtdeclarative,qtsvg,qtshadertools,qtmultimedia,qtrepotools -f --codereview-username johanseg</blockquote>
 
=== Building FFmpeg on Windows ===
 
# Install 7-zip from provisioning: Run qt6\coin\provisioning\common\windows\install-sevenzip.ps1 as admin
## Needed by provisioning script for FFmpeg
# Install msys from provisioning: Run qt6\coin\provisioning\common\windows\install-msys2.ps1 as admin
## Needed by provisioning script for FFmpeg
# Install FFmpeg from provisioning: Run qt6\coin\provisioning\common\windows\install-ffmpeg.ps1 as admin
## Since I only need MSVC build, I edit the install-ffmpeg.ps1 first, to comment out unnecessary versions
## This sets FFMPEG_DIR=C:\FFmpeg-n6.0\build\msvc\installed\
 
=== Configure Qt main build ===
I build Qt as stand-alone module to make builds run faster when working in QtMultimedia. But first, we need to build the necessary dependencies. I do this from command line with D:\qt\build\dev as current directory:<blockquote>..\..\qt6\configure.bat -debug -developer-build -submodules QtMultimedia -nomake tests -nomake examples -- -DFFMPEG_DIR=C:\FFmpeg-n6.0\build\msvc\installed --fresh & ninja</blockquote>
 
=== Configure Qt multimedia ===
I configure QtMultimedia using a CMakeUserPresets.json file that is located in D:\qt\qt6\qtmultimedia
