CMake building with issue: Boost_CHRONO_LIBRARY NOT FOUND

[Cyame]

I'm trying to make a custom building in OS X yet it doesn't work with no boost_chrono_library.

Could you provide a OS X release at the version of 3.3.0? Or could you tell me whether I could build it by myself.
Great thanks!

[wangqr]

You need to install libboost (and other dependencies) first. See https://github.com/Aegisub/Aegisub#os-x for instructions. wxWidgets can also be installed via brew install --devel wxmac, if you don't want to build it from source.

Although I provided CMake project files, the orginal configure && make approach is still the recommended way of building on macOS, as I haven't tested CMake build on macOS.

Unfortunately I don't have an Apple device, therefore I cannot provide a binary release for macOS.

[Cyame]

Thanks for this promptly instruction! I'll try it out and report capability if it works in this thread.

By the way, another quick question. In version both r8972 and 3.3.0, it will raise an error when executing _G.unicode.len(orgline.text_stripped:gsub(",")) in a code line. I'd like to know if it is because of the upgrading of the Lua and Runtime Env? And how could I use this command when "decreasing a parameter"(It's said need only one parameter but two)?

[wangqr]

Can you paste the error message? From Lua manual,

The string.gsub (Global Substitution) function has three parameters: a subject string, a pattern, and a replacement string.

But in your code you only provided 2 arguments (subject string is orgline.text_stripped, and second parameter is ","). You need an extra string as parameter.

[Cyame]

The debug info would be like:

Runtime error in template code: Expected 1 arguments, got 2
Code producing error: ci = { 0,0,0,0,0,0,0 }; cn = _G.unicode.len(orgline.text_stripped:gsub(" ",""))

However, this is a line grabbed from a template written by others... and it could be successfully itexecuted in the version of 3.2.0 actually. So I'm wondering if the standard is changed... or how could I fix it.

[wangqr]

Oh that make sense now. Can you try if this works:

cn = _G.unicode.len( ( orgline.text_stripped:gsub(" ","") ) )

Notice the extra pair of parentheses around gsub.

Since lua 3.2,

(gsub) Returns a copy of s, where all occurrences of the pattern pat have been replaced by a replacement string specified by repl. This function also returns, as a second value, the total number of substitutions made.

[Cyame]

Yeah it works!! Really appreciate it!

[wangqr]

I've updated the README to be more clear on which packages are needed and how to build on macOS, just in case you are interested.

[Cyame]

Great appreciate to your tutorial and great helps! I've already build a release following your instrustions. It seems pretty well, however, everything goes well excpet for the toolbar. I mean the upper one with the file, edit, and etc. It got stucked first, and turns good at the second try... I'm quite confused about how it could be like that? Do you have any idea?
What's more, there seems no automation tools in the library. Do I need to manually plugin? Or there's something I did wrong.
By the way, I have had a hard time using some mods like VSFilterMod in OS X system. I've asked someone else for help and got "there's almost no way to use .dll as library in OS X". So is there any alternative solution?
Thank you again and wish you all the best!

[wangqr]

It got stucked first, and turns good at the second try...

I've faced this issue before when running src/aegisub binary directly. If that is the case, you can try running make osx-bundle after make (this will create the app folder) and start (double click) the app from finder.

What's more, there seems no automation tools in the library.

LuaJIT v2.0.x does not work on 64-bit macos. I've merged that LuaJIT update a few days ago (52032dc), so if you've cloned this repo earlier, try pull the new commits.

I've asked someone else for help and got "there's almost no way to use .dll as library in OS X".

There's no alternative solution, unless the VSFilterMod author decided to port it to mac. Using Windows is the only way now. There was some effort by AviSynth / VapourSynth developer to run it under wine on *nix systems, but IIRC they didn't go very far and it is not usable.

There was another issue with wxMac 3.0.x. I've just documented that on the project wiki

So did I run the binary version lol; And it works well after bundled! Thanks!
For the rest two, actually I did know AvS could be runned in wine env, but it still not convenient to work on. You know that sometimes we need to write some Lua effects, and we need both VSFilterMod and automation. I think it's better to work in a virtual Windows environment on MBP. Thank you so far:)

Got it. I will try fixing it afterwards!
