.a3x error undefined function

[Skysnake]

Hi

I need help.

I have re-installed AutoIt, but the problem persists.

My script uses an #include <tourney_mymain.a3x> which Scite fails to read.  To be clear, as long as it is in .au3 format, it works.  The moment I build it as .a3x, it fails.

;#include <tourney_mymain.a3x>
#include <tourney_mymain.au3>

_MyMainFunc()

The file tourney_mymain.au3 exists in the same folder, and the header looks like this

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=C:\AutoIt\tourney\tourney_mymain.a3x
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Tidy=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

The error looks like this:

When I toggle back to the .au3 file and compile/run, it works.

Building the .a3x file, returns this:

And the header of the  contents of the .a3x file looks like this:

£HK¾˜lJ©™LS
†ÖH}AU3!EA06M¨ÿs$§<öz�ñg¬Á“çkCÊR¦­  á»:!¥)ãìç�˜.@½ášÞ€F±�k;!Ô±Öu:È=ÆÐ3÷�¯Ë�¢”���ˆþd•aç¶M�ø  ,p~©=�ã™Õˆ   ¬C�9˜�8öþ8_Yr©0h�d

It looks like this in pure AutoIt:

Func _MainFunc()

    ConsoleWrite("I was here!" & @CRLF)

    Local $sMainstatus = 'The database is empty'

    $Main = GUICreate("Roster", 640, 480)

    ; --- Top level menu
    Global $idHelpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu(" Help ")

I have a similar AutoIT installation running on Windows 7, no problem.  The machine giving problems is Win 10.

Any ideas would be appreciated.  This is a new pet project of mine and this is just the start, so I am willing to zip ALL of it and send it along if anyone wants to see inside.

Thanks.

Your function is named _MainFunc, you're calling _MyMainFunc in the script.

Nope that is not it.

 

The difference is simply coz of my testing.

I have just renamed it to _TheFunctionWhicha3xDoesnotFind() in the main, then pasted into my include .au3, where it works.

Build ,a3x and I get the error

I changed the .a3x file's name to 

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=C:\AutoIt\tourney\tourney_mymain.lib

and now it works.

is it possible that access to the .a3x is restricted by my Anti virus?

Built as .a3x.  Trying to include it results in this error.  Changing the build name makes it work.  I changed the .lib back to .a3x and the error came back...

thnx for the interest.
