Building Aegisub

autoconf / make (for linux and macOS)

This is the recommended way of building Aegisub on linux and macOS. Currently AviSynth+ support is not included in autoconf project. If you need AviSynth+ support, see CMake instructions below.

Aegisub has some required dependencies:

• libass
• Boost(with ICU support)
• OpenGL
• libicu
• wxWidgets
• zlib
• fontconfig (not needed on Windows)
• luajit (or lua)

and optional dependencies:

• ALSA
• FFMS2
• FFTW
• Hunspell
• OpenAL
• uchardet
• AviSynth+

You can use the package manager provided by your distro to install these dependencies. Package name varies by distro. Some useful references are:

• For ArchLinux, refer to AUR.
• For Ubuntu, refer to Travis.
• For macOS, refer to Travis. In addition to the packages listed in the brew install line, you also need automake and pkg-config. They are not listed there because Travis preinstalled them. For some packages, you need to either set environment variables during build or force link them.

After installing the dependencies, you can clone and build Aegisub with:

git clone https://github.com/wangqr/Aegisub.git
cd Aegisub
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

CMake (for Windows and linux)

This fork also provides CMake build. The CMake project will only build Aegisub itself, without the translation.

You still need to install the dependencies above. To enable AviSynth+ support, it is also needed. On ArchLinux this can be done by installing avisynthplus-git. Installing dependencies on Windows can be tricky, as Windows doesn't have a good package manager. Refer to the Wiki page on how to get all dependencies on Windows.

After installing the dependencies, you can clone and build Aegisub with:

git clone https://github.com/wangqr/Aegisub.git
cd Aegisub
./build/version.sh .  # This will generate build/git_version.h
mkdir build-dir
cd build-dir
cmake ..  # Or use cmake-gui / ccmake
make

Features can be turned on/off in CMake by toggling the WITH_* switches.

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.
