===== Getting sources =====

To get the sources of VSS, we're going to use the [[http://tortoisesvn.net/|TortoiseSVN]] program.
It's an easy to use SVN client that integrates with Windows Explorer. \\
So, first [[http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads|download]] and install TortoiseSVN. \\
Then create a new folder called VisualSubSync. \\
Right click on that folder and choose //TortoiseSVN>Checkout//. \\
A dialog should open. In the "URL of the repository" field, enter: 
''https://visualsubsync.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/visualsubsync/trunk/VisualSubSync'' \\
Finally, confirm with the OK button.



===== Compiling =====

==== Delphi installation ====

Download and install Delphi 7 Personal.\\
You will need to register at CodeGear to get your license information: [[http://www.codegear.com/downloads/free/delphi]]

==== Components installation ====

I usually put components in the Delphi folder. For example, in: ''C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Compo\''

=== Virtual Treeview ===

Download and install the Virtual Treeview component by using the installer: [[http://www.soft-gems.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=33]]

=== TntUnicode components ===

Uncompress the provided TntUnicode components: {{:development:tntunicodecontrols.2.3.0_d7_personal.7z|TntUnicode Controls 2.3.0 for Delphi 7 Personal}} \\
For example, in: ''C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Compo\TntUnicodeControls''

Now, we need to configure Delphi for TntUnicode components .\\
Start Delphi and choose //File>Open Project...// and open the file ''C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Compo\TntUnicodeControls\Delphi\d7\TntUnicode_7.bpg''\\
In the //Project Manager// window, right click on ''TntUnicodeVcl_R70.bpl'' and choose //Compile//.\\
Then right click on ''TntUnicodeVcl_D70.bpl'' and choose //Compile// then //Install//.

{{:development:delphi-project-manager.png?nolink|Delphi Project Manager}}

Close the project with //File>Close all//.\\
In //Tools>Environment Options>Library//, add ''$(Delphi)\Compo\TntUnicodeControls\Source'' to the //Library path//.

==== VSS compilation ====

Finally, open the project ''VisualSubSync.dpr'' and choose //Project>Build all projects//. \\
That's it. You should now have the file ''VisualSubSync.exe'' in the ''Release'' directory.

To start VSS from there, you need to add a few DLLs: 
  * js3215R.dll: the javascript engine
  * libhunspell.dll: the spell checker
  * VSSCustomVSFilter.dll: the custom VSS version of VSFilter
  * WavWriter.dll: the directshow filter used for audio extraction
