Install build dependencies: cmake, git, python3, Visual Studio Community - 2022 - 0.0. When installing Visual Studio, make sure `Desktop development with C++` - is selected. - 0.1. Make sure Windows is using Python 3.10.9. From Powershell, the command - `python.exe --version` should show that it's using 3.10.9. Direct link: - https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.9/python-3.10.9-amd64.exe -1. Open Powershell. -2. Make sure you've downloaded submodules: -``` -$ git submodule init -$ git submodule update -``` -3. Execute Libraries/fetch.ps1. This will take 2-3 minutes. - 3.0. If you can't run the script, run `Set-ExecutionPolicyPolicy - Unrestricted` in an admin instance of powershell. Heed the warning, - this is a security risk! Never run code from someone you don't trust - unless you've carefully audited it. -4. Open `Libraries/wx/build/msw/wx_vc17.sln` with Visual Studio 2022. -5.

If you're not creating a redistributable release, use this command - instead (it's way faster): `package.ps1 -skip_zip`. - 10.1. When PortableGit creates a window, wait for it to complete, then press - then press enter in Powershell. - 10.2. The first time you run this it'll take a long time since it has to - fetch a few large packages. Subsequent invocations will be much faster - since it won't reacquire anything already downloaded. On my connection, - it took 90 minutes to finish downloading, mostly because Google Drive - downloads are slower than dirt. - -## High level design - -* The GUI is written using wxWidgets. -* Python executes core business logic. With libraries like faster\_whisper - available, this provides a nice balance between flexibility and performance. -* To skirt licensing complexity, we distribute an embedded python - that's hacked up to allow installing packages via pip. We use this - to install packages at runtime (like a net installer), so we don't - actually distribute all our transitive dependencies. This also keeps - the initial package size small. - -## C++ Style - -Follow the Google C++ style guide. This is not absolutely strict but -it will be used to settle arguments. - -https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html - -This should get you 80% of the way there: - -* When in doubt, use K&R style -* 2 space indents -* Class members `look_like_this_` -* Functions and methods `LookLikeThis()` -* Local variables `look_like_this` -* Global constexprs `kLookLikeThis` - -Consistent style reduces cognitive burden. Follow it for the benefit of -your peers. - -## How the embedded python environment works - -I'm distributing an embeddable version of python from the official -python website. It's modified so that packages are installed under -Python/Lib/site-packages, instead of the usual filesystem paths. - -To bootstrap pip & fetch the dependencies needed: - -``` -cd TaSTT -./Resources/Python/python.exe Resources/Python/get-pip.py -./Resources/Python/python.exe -m pip install $YOUR\_PACKAGE\_HERE -``` - -The `future` package imports extra modules, and the embedded python -search path needs to be told where that is. For that reason, we also -redistribute the `future` package in source format. - -This is logically what the GUI does internally when it creates the -python environment. - |
