SlowCoder74 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I am self-teaching myself C++, due to its cross-platform portability between Windows/Linux, and C#, because it is the standard at my work. Let me tell ya ... * brain explodes *. Anyway, I believe AutoIt is coded in C++, right? Have you guys considered porting it over to Linux? I understand that AutoIt used to be open-source, but was changed to closed-source due to a disagreement with the devs of AutoHotKey. That's really too bad.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2014 SlowCoder74,Most of AutoIt depends on the Windows API - so there is no chance of it being ported to any other OS.

JohnOne Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 You should try such libraries as qt for cross platform coding.

SlowCoder74 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks for your input guys. I definitely understand your stance on the subject. I am currently using AutoIt via Wine for development on my Linux machine at home. If it's for work, I take the code to work on Windows for testing. Since it was written on a cross-platform language, at least some of the functions should work on both platforms. I guess, keep in mind, that I'm not typically using it as a utility, like AutoHotKey, so some of the lower-level functions aren't necessarily needed. I'm using it at work for developing full-fledged applications, and at home, I'm developing graphical games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripdad Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm running Winamp through Wine with several VST plugins on Linux Mint Cinnamon, with no problems. If it will do that, then AutoIt should be able to do many things, except perhaps system related functions. Linux Mint has come along way, and is definitely contending fast with Windows. It comes with LibreOffice, VLC, Firefox and more. I'm really impressed. If Quickbooks and PeachTree would port to Linux, then it would be interesting to watch the fallout, since it is an open source project.
