Saya Video Editor
"Unsheathe your creativity"

To compile and run saya, you're gonna need:

• The GCC compiler suite (See note 1) - For Windows, use the automated MinGW installer.

  Special note for Windows users:

  Assumming you've installed MinGW on C:\Mingw:

  Go to "My Computer", "Properties", "Advanced Settings", "Environment variables". On the system variables, add "c:\mingw\bin;c:\mingw\mingw32\bin" (without quotes) to the variable "Path".

  Add the following variables (all variables and values are without quotes) :

  • "LIBRARY_PATH", with value "C:\MinGW\lib"
  • "C_INCLUDE_PATH", with value "C:\MinGW\include"
  • "CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH", with the following value (wrapped for display purposes):

    "C:\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5;
    C:\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5\backward;
    C:\MinGW\include\c++\mingw32;C:\MinGW\include"

• The wxWidgets library, version 2.8.8 or later. (See note 1)

  For win32, here are the compilation commands:

  
  cd C:\wxWidgets-2.8.8\build\msw (note: change the path according to the version)
  mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 VENDOR=saya clean
  mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 VENDOR=saya
  copy c:\wxWidgets-2.8.8\lib\gcc_dll\wxmsw28u_gcc_saya.dll c:\windows\system32
  
  

• The Code::Blocks IDE (11/Nov/08 nightly preferred, or version 8.02 minimum), located at http://codeblocks.org/. Please don't install until you have installed and configured MinGW (also see note 1).
• 7zip, for extracting some of the above files.

• The GetText binaries, libraries and dependencies (Win32 only), located at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libint.html

  To install, libintl3.dll (in the binaries archive) should go in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, the developer files should be extracted (with full path) under the MinGW main folder.

• A subversion client. Install subversion on GNU/Linux, and TortoiseSVN on Win32.

• To edit some of the wxWidgets forms, you'll also need wxFormBuilder, version 3.0 or later.
• Finally, to compile Saya, you need to tell Code::Blocks where wxWidgets is located. Use the "settings","global variables" main menu. Add the wx variable, and under the "base" field, type in C:\wxWidgets-2.8.8 for Windows, or /usr/lib/wx for GNU/Linux.

(Note 1: Make sure you DON'T install them on a path with spaces! So "C:\Program Files" is forbidden)
