Introduction

All AviSynth versions up to 2.60 have code base that is explicitly for Visual C++ 6 with the Processor Pack add on. If you want to compile the DirectShowSource plugin you will also need to install the DirextX stuff.

Note that prior AviSynth 2.55, the DirectShowSource filter was not a separate plugin. This means that you needed to install the DirectX stuff to also compile AviSynth itself.

Since 2.61 newer compilers are supported. Solutions and project files are present for Microsoft Visual C/C++ 8 (2005), 9 (2008) and 10 (2010). It's sufficient to get the Express edition and for compiling the DirectShowSource plugin you will need to install a Windows SDK where the baseclasses are included. More information can be found below.

Compiling AviSynth with Visual C++ 6.0

Install Microsoft Visual Studio (containing VC6). You need the Professional or Enterprise edition, since the Student (Standard) edition is not enough. The reason is that you need the Processor Pack (with MASM for certain optimization code), which you can't install with the Student Edition. Also, you must not install SP6, as it does not support the Processor Pack (and will remove it).

... DX90SDK\Include
... MICROSOFT SDK\INCLUDE
... Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE
... Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE
... Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE
and for Libraries:

... Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB
  • After successful compilation you may want to use NSIS to make an installer. Just run avisynth\distrib\AviSynth_2.5.nsi.

Compiling Avisynth with MS VC 2003

Using MS VC 2003 compilers is possible but will require some changes.

1.) get source zip or fresh cvs checkout (project file, libs, everything)

2.) opened workspace in vs.net 2003, and selected "yes to all" on the convert projects popup

3.) set configuration to release

4.) had to do the usual thing for the custom build step command line on the asm file "convert_a.asm", which is take out the quotation marks

5.) the SoundTouch lib still has problems, replace it with own build. Get source code (v1.3.1) at http://www.surina.net/soundtouch and compile the library. You will have to set the Runtime Library under C/C++ codegeneration to Multi-threaded DLL when you compile the SoundTouch lib with VS .NET 2003 (you should use the same compiler you want to compile avisynth with).

6.) compile and it works, has the usual warnings but those are fine

Compiling Avisynth with MS VC 2005

Using both 2005 and 2005 Express compilers is possible but will require some changes. Please feel free to openly discuss any issues you find so other may benefit from your experiences.

Be aware the 2005 RT environment changes the way system exceptions are handled and processed. So your builds may not respond as expected to error conditions.

AviSynth 2.6 move to VC2005 Express: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=112138

Instruction to set VC2005 Express environment

Compiling Avisynth with MS VC++ 2008 Express and Professional Edition

  • Get either the web-based installer (download link; when running it will download the necessary components when installing) or the full iso (download link) of VS 2008 Express SP1.

When downloading the iso, you will need to mount it as a separate drive using SetupVirtualCloneDrive5480.exe for example. More about the Express edition can be found here.

  • Note that Windows SDK 6.0a will be included in the VS 2008 Express SP1 edition. In general, the 'a' versions of the Windows SDK are always included in the Express edition. So for installing AviSynth itself you won't need to download and install Windows SDK separately.
  • When you want to compile the DirectShowSource plugin too, the above steps are not sufficient. The reason is that the baseclasses are not included in Windows SDK 6.0a. So you will need to install Windows SDK 7.0.
    • Before installing Windows SDK 7.0 (holds for newer versions too) you need to de-install every Redistributable Package otherwise the install will fail (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2717426). (You can reinstall them afterwards again.)
    • Download link: Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 [1].
    • Look at the log-file if the install is successful. My log file is located at: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\SDKSetup_7.0.6918.0.log
    • The last step is to make your Windows SDK 7.0 and this can be done with the Windows SDK Configuration Tool.
      • However when the display format of your operating system is not English, you might get the error "Your system does not have Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 installed.".
      • If that's the case set the display format of your operating system to English (US): Go to Control Panel and navigate to your Regional and Language Options. On the Formats tab ensure English (United States) is selected.
      • At last gui or the command-line version of Windows SDK Configuration Tool to change to the version of the Windows SDK you wish to target. The command-line version is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\WindowsSdkVer.exe. For example to target the Windows 7 SDK go to the Windows SDK prompt by Clicking All Programs -> Select Microsoft Windows SDK v7.0 -> Select CMD shell. At the Windows SDK command prompt, type 'WindowsSdkVer.exe -version:v7.0' [without quotes]
      • Fix SetEnv.Cmd [*].
    • Get and install the DirectX End-User Runtimes (August 2009).

---

[*] SetEnv.Cmd is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin and needs to be fixed:

  • subfolder VC needs to be added: 
 SET "VCRoot=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC"
 SET "VSRoot=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\"

 [The >nul 2>&1 will hide the output of the REG command. If you want to see the output, just remove that part.]

---

  • Setup VC++ 2008 Express Edition environment

blabla

  1. Add DirectShow and DirectX to C++ command line INCLUDE path

SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses" SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009)\Include"

  1. Add DirectShow and DirectX to link command line LIB path

SET LIB=%LIB%;"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses\Release" SET LIB=%LIB%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009)\Lib\x86"

todo: proof-read and clean up
