Thanks for the reply. That should give me a start off.

I am compiling mono compiler right now... Hoping to get things done as expected.

btw, I would like to know if you or anyone else have successfully compiled and ran it successfully in linux environment?

regards,
Shobhit

But it looks like this link is down:
http://ironahk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Parser/bin/Release/IronAHK_bin.zip (binary build)

I removed the binary for now because the parser is incomplete and unsafe to run. The DLL is available at http://ironahk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Rusty/bin/Release/IronAHK.Rusty.dll

The parser is up and mostly works! For more information visit the link in my previous post to the message on Google Groups.

For Linux

Building is very easy with the Makefile. You will need Mono 2.0+ and a Subversion client to get the source code:

When you reach a stable level, I'll look into porting my basic applications. I think you should look into making 'ike' into more of a platform for rapid prototyping software than just a port of the automating nature of Autohotkey. I've always enjoyed EMCAscript, and I'd prefer to write software in it than C or C++.

Over the years we've seen AutoHotkey being used for much more than macros and hotkeys. There is COM, "lowlevel" and extensive use of DllCalls everywhere because the current command set is so limited for the Windows developer. IronAHK was designed with this in mind and although the focus is cross-platform automation, the platform is open to all other aspects of scripting with APIs planned for database integration, sockets and much more.
I'm also a fan of EcmaScript. It is something all C#, Java, JavaScript and ActionScript programmers will instantly recognize. Writing a conversion utility for .ahk scripts to this syntax is a high priority task but will probably come after a v1 release. Thank you for your interest.

Dear Titan,

I'm glad to see progress in this Project. I would love to write Applications for Linux with AHK. I'm curently installing TortoiseSVN and will try it Smile

Hi,

Will IronAHK be able to behave like a console script?
I mean see the output in CMD.exe for instance?

Thanks,
Twhyman

Let's see if i understand this well...
I could with this script my OS X as I used to in windows? Send mouse clicks, remap keyboard, check which windows is open and what its title is... even if it's written in cocoa and not WinForms/GTk# ??

If so.. well.. it's fantastic !

Bye the way, if you're writing this in Mono, I could be able to access its commands with C#, and wouldn't need to use AHK Syntax at all, right?, combining the power of dotnet with the ease of use of ahk..

I haven't looked into Cocoa# much recently but last time I checked the API was unstable or still incomplete. It should be straightforward to support but it'll have to happen at a later date. I personally do not have a Mac so I'll need someone to help me debug etc.

The Makefile creates IronAHK.Rusty.dll which is the core library of commands and functions. You can use it independently in any .NET/Mono application. More details soon.

Could i get small example how i use it?

Cause for example this code does nothing:

Rusty.Script script = new Script();
script.SetTitleMatchMode("2");
script.WinActivate("Mozilla Firefox", String.Empty, String.Empty, String.Empty);
Console.ReadLine();
script.MouseMove(350,350, 60, true);
Console.ReadLine();

what is wrong? I tried to compile with flag "Allow unsafe code" and it is the same.

Additional info:
Windows 2008 64k
Visual Studio 2008
Framework 3.5

Ok found solution setting platform target( in vs ) x86 - and it runs. If i leave it with setting "any cpu" it runs only on 32-bit machines. Still don`t know why( looking into it ) but it works.

So I understand the necessity for this project (being a subscriber to a previous forum trying to get this started), but what are the features (other than smaller file size) that make it better in Windows? Is the .NET framework the only change (projected or current)?

Also, I know someone who has a Mac who would be happy to test any pre-release versions you need to test, just pm me or post it on this forum (with detailed instructions).

Congrats on the project, I'm incredibly happy to see this thing going (a linux version has been desperately needed).
