sd333221 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hello, i'm working currently on a MAC Computer, but i don't know if any Code-Language works on it. I can code in C++ and a bit autoit... does autoit or C++ work with Mac? If yes, are there problems/exceptions? Thank you alot, sd333221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can however use a windows emulator (virtual machine) on your MAC and run AutoIT within that simulated environment. However, that would'nt be what you want. google them: mac os x windows emulatorAn alternative would be AppleScript.There are some free C++ compilers and IDEs available for MAC OS. Just google them: C++ IDE mac osCheersKurt Edited October 11, 2005 by /dev/null __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

/dev/null Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 if you're running windows on your mac"running windows on your mac"?

/dev/null Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 i don't use a mac, but wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a windows for mac, or atleast an emulator of some sort...Apple uses different processors, called PowerPC (at least until they announced to switch over to Intel) ==> currently there is no Windows for PowerPC !! So, no "Windows on Mac".As I said, there are some emulators and virtual machines. However, then you would have the full feature set of windows (and AutoIT), because you're running a copy of windows in that emulator. But, that does not help you to automate things for Mac OS, as you cannot "escape" the emulator!CheersKurt __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

/dev/null Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 good reason to use java for writing programs that may be run on mac or windows then eh?probably. But with the benefits of portabilty you loose a lot of functionality, as you can only rely on the smalest subest of features available on all plattforms.CheersKurt __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

KXM Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I think you are missing the nature of AutoIt. AutoIt scripts are not so much 'compiled' as they are 'packaged' (using UPX) Think of a compiled AutoIt script a a zip file that can be exicuted. Also, AutoIt relys HEAVLY (if not entirely) on the Windows API. The code we write in an autoit script, is changed into Windows API calls by the AutoIt interpriter (which also gets packaged with each copy of you script) So you see Mac OS supports no Windows API calls.
