compiling options?

[TK_Incorperate]

I just made a script, and i remember a long time ago before i quit scripting, you could do the whole "compile options" to set all the stuff when you right click and go to properties, to set the icon, ect ect.... When I got the new auto-it I noticed that now, scite no longer has that option, neither does right clicking the script.... how do i do this with the new autoit?

I thought the latest version had the gui compile wrapper, have you got the latest version of autoit?

If not you can use the following compile directives at the top of your script

You can define the Compiler Directives in your script and have AutoIt3Wrapper.exe compile it with these settings:

#Region AutoIt3Wrapper directives section

;** This is a list of compiler directives used by AutoIt3Wrapper.exe.

;** comment the lines you don't need or else it will override the default settings

Hmmm there used to be a script, or something built into scite, or something like that that you could just put it all into the input boxes of a GUI and it would do all that crap, is that still around? lol I will use this if I have to, but I make ALOT of stuff, I have like 7 different things almost completed as is that I need to compile, so is this the only way? that script doesnt exist any more?

Oh and my version of autoit is the newest one, not beta, but the newest non-beta version. It has the aut2exe in it, but it only allows me to add the icon to the program, not all the information like description, author, all that stuff.

On the download page is a separate download option for installing Scite4AutoIt3 (includes the goodies). You need to install that item to get the AutoIt3Wrapper to make use of the directives that ChrisL displays. The Scite4AutoIt3 included within the AutoIt installation is a bare minimum of Scite4AutoIt3 without the goodies.
