[Solved] #pragma compile issue

[FrancescoDiMuro]

Good evening everyone
I was trying to compile my executable, adding #pragma directives instead of #AutoIt3Wrapper* directives, and, I don't know why the #pragma compile doesn't add the Author field to the executable.

These are the directives:

#pragma compile(Author, 'Surname Name')

; or

#pragma compile(Author, Surname Name)

and this is the output, in both cases:
 

- #pragma directive Author found but don't understand it so will ignore: #pragma compile(Author, 'Surname Name')
- #pragma directive Author found but don't understand it so will ignore: #pragma compile(Author, Surname Name)

What am I missing?
Thanks

Francesco

Where did you find that :

#pragma compile(Author,"")

is an option that is available? ... it isn't, just check the helpfile!

Good evening @Jos, and thank you for your answer

I swear I read a post in the AutoIt forum, where there were #pragma compile(Author, ***), but I can't find the post at the moment.
So, the only way to add an Author to the compiled script is this(?):

- ://////=__=
; Without "", is it right?
; I don't know what is happenening with Code section!

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Author|AuthorName

Thanks for the help

The Code section was broken.

[Jos]

that way it works as the #autoIt3wrapper directive is able to add none standard version fields.

@Jos

I tried with #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Author|AuthorName, but it isn't displayed with ResourceHacker nor in the Properties of the .exe.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Francesco

[Jos]

show me a snippet with the lines in there that aren't working, and I will have a look.

Good morning @Jos
This is the line of code that is not doing what is supposed to do:
 

://////=__=

I can't see the Author with Resource Hacker, nor with Right Click on the compiled script, and Properties.
Thanks

Well that works for me.

Show me all your SciTE output pane information when doing the compile please.

... and you didn't notice that warning in there?

That is why I asked for a reproducer as the single posted statement will work fine.

@Jos

This one? 

-    Ignoring all #AutoIt3Wrapper_* #directives that would normally update the VERSION section!

 

[Jos]

Correct, The issue (likely) is that you are using #PRAGMA statements to update the VERSION block of the PE-HEADER and then request AutoIt3Wrapper to do the same.
I have it coded in a way that the old VERSION block is overwritten so that would make you loose the #PRAGMA changes made....hence that warning.

This is not very clear for me.
Something like "overwrite" the work of the #pragma by AutoIt3Wrapper or... ?

Thanks

[Jos]

AUT2EXE runs first and is using the #PRAGMA statements to update the program's PE-HEADER.
One section of the PE_HEADER is the VERSION block as you can see with Reshacker!
AutoIt3Wrapper will then use the #AutoIt3Wrapper_res_* statements to to the same task, but the changes from AUT2EXE would be lost in case it would continue the update of the VERSION block. Hence the warning and skipping that!

In Other Words: DO not mix #PRAGMA and  #AutoIt3Wrapper_res_* statements to update VERSION information but only use one!

@Jos

Thanks for the answer. Now, it is more clear
So, for who is reading, don't mix #PRAGMA and AutoIt3Wrapper.
Use only #PRAGMA or only AutoIt3Wrapper, but don't use them simultaneousely!
