## 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

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: `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 -Dfreetype2:zlib=system -Dfreetype2:png=enabled -Dfreetype2:default_library=static`
3. Build with `cd build` and `meson compile`

You should now have a binary at `src/aegisub.exe`.

Installer:

You can generate the installer with `ninja win-installer` after a successful build. This assumes you have InnoSetup present on your `PATH` and a working internet connection.

### OS X

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

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.
