you copy an executable to another folder and compile it?

or you copy the ahk-file + ini-file to another folder? did you realize, that i did a change that goes with your needs:

1.)
your script is f.e.:
D:\AHK\MyProgramFolder\MyScript.ahk
and your outgoing file is:
D:\AHK\MyProgramFolder\MyProgram.exe

2.)
compile it once again and in the ini-file you found a new outgoing path:
OUT_FILE=%IN_DIR%\MyProgram.exe

2.)
this means, if you copy the folder to X:\OTHER_AHK_THINGS the script will be:
X:\OTHER_AHK_THINGS\MyProgramFolder\MyScript.ahk
and the outgoing file now will be:
X:\OTHER_AHK_THINGS\MyProgramFolder\MyProgram.exe

isnt it what you want?



your program is in %A_WorkingDir% ? so your program is in the same folder as the compile_ahk.exe?

Argh!

Please Replase the Line Nr. 145 with thies:


And the Line Nr. 154 with this:


And at last the Line Nr. 198 - 200 with this:

the problem lies in the out_path saved in the ini
because the ini lies in the same folder with the ahk file i want to compile, it does not need a path, just the filename (does it need even the filename in there)

if the path is incorrect (i moved the ahk and ini) i get
Error: Error opening the destination file. if the path was missing it would default to local folder.

if i remove the path from the ini i get
Compilation error

see if you can remove the path but leave just the exe name and get it to compile, you should be able to get the current path using splitpath on %1% and adding the correct path later in your code and not save the path in the ini at all.

@Trubbleguy:

maybe my english isnt the best, but did you read my last post?


isnt it what you wanted?

so once again:
if the outfile is saved in the same folder as the ahk file, compile ahk uses OUT_FILE=%IN_DIR%\Compile_AHK.exe instead of a hard path, since the last version!
%IN_DIR% means the path of the ahk-file. so if you move the ini and the ahk file, compile_ahk still uses the folder of this copied ahk file as output path. on next comping your old ini file is changed according to the descripted manner.

I get the following error message when I try to compile:


It used to work fine before the last 2 updates....

+ Fixed: Error message if the log file Compile_AHK.log is not available for deletion

Download Compile_AHK

Thanks! It works beautifully now

I'm still having trouble with this.

When I try to double click the file - Compile_AHK.exe in the compiler folder, I keep getting a popup that shows:

Command Line Parameter Error!
Wrong Number of Parameters: 0

Any idea how to solve this?

the ahk is not designed to be run directly
right click on the ahk u want to compile and select COMPILE WITH OPTIONS

+ New: Setup can create shortcut files on desktop and in the start menu

edit:

Question in the german thread http://de.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopi ... 2983#22983 -->
please send me a personal message with the content of these files:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Autohotkey\Compiler\
Compile_AHK.txt
VersionInfo.rc (open it with notepad)

you can open the folder if you open vista's start menu and input the following line into the input box at the end of the start menu:
%temp%\Autohotkey\Compiler

edit2:
is it possible, that the file version and product version are always the same as your autohotkey version? 1.0.47.6 if you've the newest version of autohotkey!?! and all other fields are empty except the language which is english (usa) ?

if that's the problem you dont have to send me the files cause i've hot the same problem on a xp-pc here =/
have to take a look on what went wrong when i'm back at home.

edit3:
fixed -->

Update from 2008-04-16

+ Fixed: cause of a wrong set comma, the versioninfo wasnt written.
+ Fixed: error detection for Reshacker was without result in most cases

edit4:
