Please excuse me, I have not used AutoItx3 for a while.

I'm wanting to use the dll interface, but I cannot locate the .lib file.
Where in the world is it?

EDIT:

No matter, I found a copy on a backup disc.

Can you tell me where do you found it?

[JohnOne]

I just found it in a backup of one of my old projects.

[matwachich]

Yes! But for me, where can i find it???

Ok, i made some searches, ad it seems the libautoitx3.a is missing from AutoIt 3.8.xx
So, can you please post the old version that you have?

Thanks

I do not have that file.

I haven't seen the lib file lately. You can always use dynamic linkage.

Found it in AutoIt 3.3.6.1 sfx here

Found it in AutoIt 3.3.6.1

Has there been any change to autoitx since 3.3.6.1?

likewise, I want to use the static version, and Im wondering if this is the solution.

[twitchyliquid64]

BUMP.
i want to statically link autoitx.

[matwachich]

Don't think you can.
The static lib provided by the AutoIt Dev's is for dynamic link, ask them for a static lib (but I don't think they will accept)

[Richard Robertson]

Static libs are for static linking. There's no such thing as a static dynamic link.

[matwachich]

But in order to use AutoItX.dll, you must link with libautoitx3.a
When you compile a dll on GCC for example, you get the dll itself, and a static lib to use the dll. If you don't link the static lib, the dll won't work.

[Richard Robertson]

You can use AutoItX.dll using pure dynamic linking. That doesn't require any kind of secondary file.

[matwachich]

Yes, but in this case, you must play with function pointers.

[Richard Robertson]

Is that a problem?
