+# MMapper Build Guide - Seasonal Textures Feature
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Software
+1. **CMake** (version 3.19 or higher)
+   - Download from: https://cmake.org/download/
+   - Make sure to add CMake to your PATH during installation
+
+2. **Qt6** (version 6.2.0 or higher)
+   - Download from: https://www.qt.io/download
+   - Install Qt6 with OpenGL components
+   - Set environment variable: `QTDIR=C:\Qt\6.x.x\msvc2019_64` (adjust path)
+
+3. **Ninja Build System**
+   - Already included in your project directory (ninja.exe)
+   - Or download from: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases
+
+4. **C++ Compiler** (one of):
+   - **MSVC** (Visual Studio 2019 or 2022) - Recommended for Windows
+   - **MinGW-w64**
+   - **Clang**
+
+## Quick Build (Windows)
+
+### Option 1: Using the build script
+```batch
+build.bat
+```
+
+### Option 2: Manual build
+```batch
+# Create build directory
+mkdir build
+cd build
+
+# Configure
+cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
+
+# Build
+cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo
+
+# Run
+src\mmapper.exe
+```
+
+## Common Build Errors and Fixes
+
+### Error: "Qt6 not found"
+**Solution:** Set QTDIR environment variable:
+```batch
+set QTDIR=C:\Qt\6.x.x\msvc2019_64
+```
+Or add to CMake command:
+```batch
+cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Qt/6.x.x/msvc2019_64" ..
+```
+
+### Error: "Cannot find Qt6OpenGLWidgets"
+**Solution:** Install Qt6 OpenGL components. Run Qt Maintenance Tool and select:
+- Qt6 → MSVC 2019 64-bit → Qt OpenGL
+
+### Error: "undefined reference to `setCurrentSeason`"
+**Fix:** Already fixed in the code - the include for `Filenames.h` was added to `mapcanvas.cpp`
+
+### Error: "MumeSeasonEnum does not name a type"
+**Fix:** Already fixed - forward declaration added to `mapcanvas.h`
+
+### Error: "sig_seasonChanged is not a member of MumeClock"
+**Solution:**
+1. Delete the build directory: `rmdir /s /q build`
+2. Rebuild: This forces Qt's MOC (Meta-Object Compiler) to re-generate signal/slot code
+
+## Building with Visual Studio
+
+### Using Visual Studio IDE
+```batch
+# Generate Visual Studio solution
+cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ..
+
+# Open mmapper.sln in Visual Studio
+start mmapper.sln
+```
+
+Then build from Visual Studio (F7 or Build → Build Solution)
+
+### Using Visual Studio from Command Line
+```batch
+# Open Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt
+# Then:
+cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ..
+cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo
+```
+
+## Build Types
+
+- **Debug**: Full debug symbols, no optimization
+  ```batch
+  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
+  ```
+
+- **Release**: Optimized, no debug symbols
+  ```batch
+  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+  ```
+
+- **RelWithDebInfo**: Optimized with debug symbols (recommended)
+  ```batch
+  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
+  ```
+
+## Testing the Seasonal Texture Feature
+
+After successful build:
+
+1. **Organize your textures** following this structure:
+   ```
+   src/resources/pixmaps/
+   ├── Classic/              # Old textures
+   │   ├── terrain-*.png
+   │   ├── road-*.png
+   │   └── ...
+   └── Modern/               # New textures
+       ├── Spring/           # Seasonal variants
+       │   ├── terrain-field.png
+       │   ├── terrain-forest.png
+       │   └── ...
+       ├── Summer/
+       ├── Autumn/
+       ├── Winter/
+       ├── terrain-indoors.png  # Non-seasonal
+       ├── mob-*.png
+       └── ...
+   ```
+
+2. **Build the resources** into the executable:
+   - The textures need to be compiled into the Qt resource file
+   - Run: `cmake --build . --target mmapper`
+
+3. **Test in-game**:
+   - Launch MMapper
+   - Connect to MUME
+   - Type `time` in MUME to check current season
+   - Watch the textures reload when season changes!
+
+## Troubleshooting Qt MOC Issues
+
+If you get errors about missing signals/slots:
+
+```batch
+# Clean build
+cd build
+del /q CMakeCache.txt
+del /q /s moc_*.cpp
+cmake ..
+cmake --build .
+```
+
+## CMake Configuration Options
+
+```batch
+# Disable tests (faster build)
+cmake -DWITH_TESTS=OFF ..
+
+# Enable additional features
+cmake -DWITH_WEBSOCKET=ON ..      # WebSocket support
+cmake -DWITH_QTKEYCHAIN=ON ..     # Secure password storage
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After building successfully:
+
+1. **Add UI Elements**:
+   - Open `src/preferences/graphicspage.ui` in Qt Designer
+   - Add QComboBox named `textureSetComboBox` with items: Classic, Modern, Custom
+   - Add QCheckBox named `enableSeasonalTexturesCheckBox`
+
+2. **Uncomment UI Code** in `src/preferences/graphicspage.cpp`:
+   - Lines 98-103 (signal connections)
+   - Lines 139-142 (loadConfig)
+
+3. **Rebuild** to include UI changes
+
+## Getting Help
+
+If you encounter build errors:
+
+1. Check the error message carefully
+2. Search for the error in MMapper GitHub issues
+3. Make sure all prerequisites are installed
+4. Try a clean build (delete `build` folder and rebuild)
+5. Check Qt version compatibility (must be 6.2.0+)
+
+## Development Tips
+
+- Use **RelWithDebInfo** build type for development (balanced speed + debugging)
+- Run `ninja clean` to clean build artifacts without deleting CMake cache
+- Use `cmake --build . -j8` to build with 8 parallel jobs (faster)
+- Set `VERBOSE=1` for detailed build output: `cmake --build . --verbose`
