Changes:
- Removed -modcache flag that was deleting Go modules unnecessarily
- Changed from -cache -modcache -testcache to just go clean
- Added automatic system dependency detection (X11 libs)
- Will attempt to install missing deps automatically if found
- Keeps Go module cache intact between builds for faster compilation
This fixes the issue where builds would fail after cache cleaning due to
missing Go modules, while still checking for required system libraries.

Ports Windows compatibility improvements from VideoTools to enable
VT_Player to build and run on Windows 11 alongside VideoTools.
Build System Enhancements:
- Universal build script auto-detects platform (Linux/macOS/Windows)
- Platform-specific build routing (build-linux.sh for Unix)
- Windows: Builds vt_player.exe with GUI flags (-H windowsgui)
- Windows: Automatic FFmpeg PATH detection
- Shares dependencies with VideoTools installation
Windows Console Hiding:
- Created internal/utils/proc_windows.go (Windows-specific)
- Created internal/utils/proc_other.go (Linux/macOS no-op)
- ApplyNoWindow() hides FFmpeg/ffprobe console windows on Windows
- Provides clean GUI experience without console popups
Cross-Platform Support:
- Build flags adapt to target platform automatically
- Go build tags for platform-specific code
- CGO enabled for all platforms (required by Fyne)
- Tested on Linux, ready for Windows 11
Documentation:
- WINDOWS_COMPATIBILITY.md: Complete Windows setup guide
- Explains dependency sharing with VideoTools
- Troubleshooting section for common issues
- Platform-specific build flag documentation
Benefits for Jake's Windows 11 Environment:
- Uses same MinGW-w64 toolchain as VideoTools
- Uses same FFmpeg installation (already on PATH)
- No additional dependency installation needed
- Build process identical to VideoTools
Technical Details:
- Windows GUI binary: vt_player.exe (~45MB)
- Linux/macOS binary: vt_player (~32MB)
- All platforms use CGO for Fyne OpenGL bindings
- syscall.SysProcAttr{HideWindow: true} for Windows processes
