### Troubleshooting
I'll gladly take any bug reports, but if you encounter an issue, please check first if it occurs only on my fork, or also on [earlier TSTools builds](https://github.com/TypesettingTools/Aegisub/actions).
If it wasn't introduced by my fork, I can still take a look, but I can't promise anything.
You can find me for support on various servers, including the cave and the TSTools server linked below.
#### Building fails with a "CMake sandbox violation"
This is an upstream bug in meson. For now, you need to downgrade meson using `pip install meson==0.62.2`.

If you're compiling yourself, try adding `--force-fallback-for=zlib` to the meson options.
### Compilation
For compilation on Windows, see the TSTools documentation below. Also check the [GitHub workflow](https://github.com/arch1t3cht/Aegisub/blob/cibuilds/.github/workflows/ci.yml) for the project arguments.
On Linux, you can use the [TSTools PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aegisub-ttools-meson-git) as a base, in particular for installing the necessary dependencies if you don't want to compile them yourself.
To compile manually,
- Install Meson (at the moment, you'll need to downgrade Meson below 0.63.0: `pip install meson==0.62.2`)
- Clone the repository
- In the repository, run `meson setup build` for the default configuration. See below for further options.
- `cd` to the `build` directory and run `ninja`
- You'll get an `aegisub` binary in the `build` folder. To install it to a system-wide location, run `ninja install`. To install to `/usr` instead of `/usr/local`, pass `--prefix=/usr` when configuring or reconfiguring meson.
- When recompiling after pulling new commits, skip the `meson setup` setup and just immediately run `ninja` from the build directory - even when the build configuration changed.
#### Compilation flags
Some features are not enabled by default. To enable them, pass `-D<feature>=enabled` with the `meson setup` command:
- `-Davisynth=enabled`: Avisynth support
- `-Dbestsource=enabled`: BestSource
- `-Dvapoursynth=enabled`: Vapoursynth support
You can also disable options that are active by default in the same way. Check the file `meson_options.txt` for all options.
To change the options of an existing build directory, run `meson setup --reconfigure <new arguments>` from inside the `build` directory.
### Dependencies
Apart from the dependencies for the TSTools version, there are some additional dependencies. These are cloned and compiled from scratch if not found, but you might want to install binaries instead:
- `jansson`: For BestSource
- `ffmpeg`: Becomes a direct dependency when compiling with BestSource
- `avisynth` (or `avisynthplus`): Optional run-time dependency for the Avisynth source
- `vapoursynth`: Optional run-time dependency for the VapourSynth source
