Aegisub

Installation

For now only works with install from source. Only tested on linux. Forked from japan7.

Building Aegisub

Linux, BSD or Toasters

Install all the dependencies with the package manager of your distribution:

• wxGTK
• boost
• icu
• ffmpegsource
• fontconfig
• freetype
• libass
• zlib
• libiconv
• opengl
• openal
• openssl or libressl

Optional dependencies:

• alsa-lib
• fftw
• openal
• portaudio
• pulseaudio
• hunspell
• luajit (can be bundled with your build)
• astyle

On debian buster, the packages are the following:

• lua5.3
• inttool inttool-debian
• autopoint
• gettext
• libffms2-dev
• libpulse-dev
• libgtk-3-dev
• libgl-dev
• libglu-dev
• libass
• libwxgtk3.0-dev
• libboost-dev
• libboost-locale-dev
• libboost-chrono-dev
• libboost-filesystem-dev
• libboost-regex-dev
• libboost-thread-dev
• astyle

Build the binary

Once all the dependencies are installed, run:

autoreconf
./configure --enable-debug --enable-debug-exceptions --with-libpulse --disable-update-checker --enable-silent-rules --without-system-luajit
make -j$(nproc)
make install

You may also consider the following rules:

• make clean to clean build files
• make deepclean to clean build files and files generated by autoreconf
• make tags to build the ctags and cscope databases
• make style to format your code with the right style

Build an appimage

First, install patchelf (apt install patchelf or similar for your distro) and linuxdeploy. An AppImage of linuxdeploy can be found here. You will also need to download the appimagetool binary and save it to the tools folder. If you don't do it manually, it will be done for you at some point by the build scripts.

To build the AppImage, juste use the following commands:

autoreconf
./configure --with-libpulse --enable-silent-rules --disable-update-checker --without-system-luajit --enable-appimage
make -j$(nproc)
make appimage

Windows

Prerequisites:

1. Visual Studio 2017 (the free Community edition is good enough)
2. The June 2010 DirectX SDK (the final release before DirectSound was dropped)
3. Yasm installed to somewhere on your path.

There are a few optional dependencies:

1. msgfmt, to build the translations
2. WinRAR, to build the portable installer
3. InnoSetup, to build the regular installer

All other dependencies are either stored in the repository or are included as submodules.

Building:

1. Clone Aegisub's repository recursively to fetch it and all submodules: git clone --recursive git@github.com:Aegisub/Aegisub.git This will take quite a while and requires about 2.5 GB of disk space.
2. Open Aegisub.sln
3. Build the BuildTasks project.
4. Build the entire solution.

You should now have a bin directory in your Aegisub directory which contains aegisub32d.exe, along with a pile of other files.

The Aegisub installer includes some files not built as part of Aegisub (such as Avisynth and VSFilter), so for a fully functional copy of Aegisub you now need to copy all of the files from an installed copy of Aegisub into your bin directory (and don't overwrite any of the files already there). You'll also either need to copy the automation directory into the bin directory, or edit your automation search paths to include the automation directory in the source tree.

After building the solution once, you'll want to switch to the Debug-MinDep configuration, which skips checking if the dependencies are out of date, as that takes a while.

OS X

You may want to read the Linux, FreeBSD and toaster section for more information.

A vaguely recent version of Xcode and the corresponding command-line tools are required. Nothing older than Xcode 5 has been tested recently, but it is likely that some later versions of Xcode 4 are good enough.

For personal usage, you can use homebrew to install almost all of Aegisub's dependencies:

brew install autoconf automake ffmpeg ffms2 fftw freetype fribidi gettext icu4c libass m4 pkg-config boost
brew install luajit --HEAD
brew link --force gettext
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"

wxWidgets is located in vendor/wxWidgets, and can be built like so:

CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D__ASSERT_MACROS_DEFINE_VERSIONS_WITHOUT_UNDERSCORES=1" \
./configure --disable-aboutdlg --disable-animatectrl --disable-aui --disable-any \
--disable-bannerwindow --disable-base64 --disable-calendar --disable-caret \
--disable-cmdline --disable-colourpicker --disable-compat28 --disable-config \
--disable-constraints --disable-datepick --disable-dctransform --disable-debugreport \
--disable-dialupman --disable-docview --disable-filehistory --disable-finddlg \
--disable-fs_archive --disable-fs_inet --disable-fs_zip --disable-fsvolume \
--disable-fswatcher --disable-gif --disable-help --disable-html --disable-ipc \
--disable-joystick --disable-jpeg --disable-largefile --disable-markup --disable-mdi \
--disable-mediactrl --disable-metafiles --disable-miniframe --disable-notifmsg \
--disable-numberdlg --disable-pcx --disable-pnm --disable-postscript \
--disable-prefseditor --disable-printarch --disable-progressdlg --disable-propgrid \
--disable-protocol --disable-protocols --disable-rearrangectrl --disable-ribbon \
--disable-richtext --disable-richtooltip --disable-snglinst --disable-sockets \
--disable-sockets --disable-sound --disable-splash --disable-splines \
--disable-std_iostreams --disable-svg --disable-tarstream --disable-tiff \
--disable-tipdlg --disable-tipwindow --disable-url --disable-webkit --disable-webview \
--disable-wizarddlg --disable-xrc \
--enable-geometry --enable-imaglist --enable-listctrl --enable-stc --with-cocoa \
--with-libpng=yes --with-macosx-version-min=10.9 \
--with-opengl \
--without-libjpeg --without-libtiff --without-regex \
&& make

Once the dependencies are installed, build Aegisub with autoreconf && ./configure --with-wxdir=/path/to/Aegisub/vendor/wxWidgets && make && make osx-bundle. autoreconf should be skipped if you are building from a source tarball rather than git.

Updating Moonscript

From within the Moonscript repository, run bin/moon bin/splat.moon -l moonscript moonscript/ > bin/moonscript.lua. Open the newly created bin/moonscript.lua, and within it make the following changes:

1. Prepend the final line of the file, package.preload["moonscript"](), with a return, producing return package.preload["moonscript"]().
2. Within the function at package.preload['moonscript.base'], remove references to moon_loader, insert_loader, and remove_loader. This means removing their declarations, definitions, and entries in the returned table.
3. Within the function at package.preload['moonscript'], remove the line _with_0.insert_loader().

The file is now ready for use, to be placed in automation/include within the Aegisub repo.
