Command line compile of with msrt.exe changed?

[KTT]

I'm running Macro Scheduler Pro 12.0.2 on Windows 7 x64.

This is the script to be compiled to console app:

Code: Select all

// COMPILE_OPTS|C:\Users\Khoa\Desktop\x\x.exe||CONSOLE=1|INCLUDES=1|
//Set IGNORESPACES to 1 to force script interpreter to ignore spaces.
//If using IGNORESPACES quote strings in {" ... "}
//Let>IGNORESPACES=1
SOWriteLn>Hello World!
MDL>Hello World!

Everything works as expected when compiled to exe from Script Editor.
That is, I see "Hello World!" on the console where the app is started, and a modal dialog "Hello World!".

When I tried to compile with the command line msrt.exe program:

Code: Select all

msrt.exe -COMPILE %SRC% %EXE%

Where SRC and EXE are set to full path of x.scp and x.exe files.

Now, the console output is never emitted, only the modal dialog "Hello World!" is seen.

This problem does not exist in Macro Scheduler 11.

Perhaps msrt.exe in Macro Scheduler 12 doesn't heed the request in the header comment line of x.scp to compile console app, and compiled the script to a non-console app, thus rendering SOWriteLn> a no-op?

If this is the case, is there a command line switch to force msrt.exe to compile a console app?

Thanks

You need to compile with the console compiler instead:

msrt_console.exe -COMPILE %SRC% %EXE%

You need to compile with the console compiler instead:

msrt_console.exe -COMPILE %SRC% %EXE%

So that's what that msrt_console.exe file was for.

Thank you very much, Marcus.
