this is a UDF used to compile AutoIt scripts

;===============================================================================
;
; Description:  _compile

;                       $s_dest = Destination Exe File
;                       $i_decompile = [optional] wether or not the script can be decompiled. 0 for no, 1 for yes. default is 1
;                       $s_pass = [optional] passphrase to use for decompilation. this has no effect if $i_decompile is 0. For no passphrase, set this to "nopass"
;                       $s_icon = [optional] icon to use for compiled script

Attached is a manual entry in the same (almost...i tried the best i could) format as the docs included with AutoIt. If you don't understand, read that.

so i put a new line like this

$i_decompile = 1

to not decompile?

[theguy0000]

no, you put it as a parameter.

see,

_compile ($s_source, $s_dest, $i_decompile=1, $s_pass="nopass", $s_icon="noicon")

you would put it like this:

_compile ( "C:\bar\foo\sourceFile.au3", "C:\bar\foo\DestFile.exe" [,0 [,"passphrase" [,"C:\foo\bar\icon.ico"]]])

the parameters inside brackets [] are option, but don't include the brackets in the code itself!

1 allows decompilation (default), and 0 doesnt.

_compile ( "C:\bar\foo.au3", "C:\foo\bar.exe", 0 )

That would compile bar\foo.au3 to foo\bar.exe.

foo\bar.exe would not be allowed to be decompiled.

_compile ($s_source, $s_dest, $i_decompile=1, $s_pass="nopass", $s_icon="C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II Loader.exe")

I tried that to make it as a icon did i do something wrong? cause it didnt work and i can still decompile it

You need to use a icon file with a .ico extension. Aut2Exe cannot extract icons out of executables. 0 is no decompile by my understanding.

[Snipz]

I figured out how to put icons in and the decompile doesnt work

[theguy0000]

0 means decompilation is NOT allowed.

1 means decompilation IS allowed

If you don't put anything for decompilation, it will automatically be set to 1.

edit: added a manual entry in the first post.

@theguy0000:

Thanks. This is just what I need to compile my first GUI. This may be a dumb question, since I do not know a lot about programing, but is it possible to include any other types of files with the compile (besides the icon file)? I would like to include some .exe files so that everything can be loaded as one file.

[theguy0000]

Peter1234 -

No, thats not possible with autoit, not without running a 3rd party app completely seperate from AutoIt.

[Confuzzled]

See help file entry for FileInstall

Good luck!

[Nuffilein805]

is there a way you can compile a script with your script on another pc (no autoit)? what happens with the inclusions like #include<guiconstants.au3>?

is there a way you can include the files in a script(exe) to be included later on?

[Confuzzled]

You could FileInstall it.

[Nuffilein805]

i'm gonna try that

maybe this works for me

thx anyway
