Building Aegisub

Windows

Prerequisites:

  1. Visual Studio (Community edition of any recent version is fine)
  2. The June 2010 DirectX SDK (the final release before DirectSound was dropped)
  3. Python 3
  4. Meson
  5. CMake

There are a few optional dependencies that must be installed and on your PATH:

  1. msgfmt, to build the translations
  2. InnoSetup, to build the regular installer
  3. 7zip, to build the regular installer
  4. Moonscript, 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: git clone https://github.com/TypesettingTools/Aegisub.git
  2. From the Visual Studio "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt", generate the build directory: meson build -Ddefault_library=static (if building for release, add --buildtype=release)
  3. Build with cd build and ninja

You should now have a binary: aegisub.exe.

Installer:

You can generate the installer with ninja win-installer after a successful build. This assumes a working internet connection and installation of the optional dependencies.

You can generate the portable zip with ninja win-portable after a successful build.

OS X

A vaguely recent version of Xcode and the corresponding command-line tools are required.

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

pip3 install meson
brew install cmake ninja pkg-config  libass boost zlib ffms2 fftw hunspell
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"

Once the dependencies are installed, build Aegisub with meson build && meson compile -C build.

Build dmg

meson build_static -Ddefault_library=static -Dbuildtype=debugoptimized -Dbuild_osx_bundle=true -Dlocal_boost=true
meson compile -C build_static
meson test -C build_static --verbose
meson compile osx-bundle -C build_static
meson compile osx-build-dmg -C build_static

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.
