Anyone had success with compiling scripts in v2?

[Ursi]

The website says you can use Ahk2Exe.exe to compile AHK2 scripts, but when I try, I get errors for using v2 syntax. I'm using v2 base files so I'm not sure what's going on.

tested with Unicode 64-bit.bin from v2 a100 and Ahk2Exe.exe from v1 1.1.30, compiled without any errors. what errors are u getting?

[Ursi]

Turns out Ahk2Exe doesn't support v2 block comments.

Hi Ursi,
Yes, you can use Ahk2Exe.exe, but it must have the V2 .bin file, either Unicode 32-bit.bin or Unicode 64-bit.bin, and if you want 64-bit, you must copy Unicode 64-bit.bin to AutoHotkeySC.bin, otherwise it will copy Unicode 32-bit.bin to it. Regards, Joe

what does the comment look like

Turns out Ahk2Exe doesn't support v2 block comments.

Block comments work fine in V2, when running from both source code and compiled code, but only if the /* and */ symbols appear at the beginning of a line (same as in V1). Regards, Joe

That's why I meant when I said they don't support v2 block comments. v2 allows you to put the */ at the end of a line.

OK, there's a difference between V1 and V2 in the ending symbols (*/). Here's what the Version 2.0-a100-52515e2 doc says:

In addition, the /* and */ symbols can be used to comment out an entire section, but only if the symbols appear at the beginning of a line (or for */, the beginning or end)

Here's what the Version 1.1.30.00 doc says:

In addition, the /* and */ symbols can be used to comment out an entire section, but only if the symbols appear at the beginning of a line

But are you saying that the beginning (/*) and ending (*/) block comment symbols work in source code and do not work when compiled with Ahk2Exe.exe using a V2 .bin file?

Thas is precisely what I'm saying. Looking at the source code, I'm pretty sure I've made a version that works with v2 block comments (it was just some minor adjustments to ScriptParser.ahk. I'll edit this later when I make the fork (github is being weird right now) and include it.

Use flipeador's ahk2exe remake and see if it works for you (if you can make out the spanish). He's a mod here on the forum. He has fincs' directives and a bunch of other stuff. Fincs' is basically vaporware at this point.

Got it...thanks for the update.
