Prerequisites:
1. Visual Studio 2015 (the free Community edition is good enough)
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. [Yasm](http://yasm.tortall.net/) installed to somewhere on your path.
3. Python 3
4. Meson
There are a few optional dependencies:

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.
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 `bin` directory in your Aegisub directory which contains `aegisub32d.exe`, along with a pile of other files.
You should now have a binary at `src/aegisub.exe`.
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.
Installer:
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solution once, you'll want to switch to the Debug-MinDep configuration, which skips checking if the dependencies are out of date, as that takes a while.
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.
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:
