[question] what is bw-at.bin in assets?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
looking at the readme and going over the git log couldn't understand what is the asset bw-at.bin?
is it needed? what is it used for?
thanks for the great tool :) trying to understand it a bit.
Thanks for your interest in the source, glad to clear any concern!
AutoHotkey is not a compiled programming language but an interpreted scripting language. When "building" from source what it really does is to attach the script to an interpreter via Ahk2Exe.exe
.
That file is the same as Unicode 64-bit.bin
found in the AutoHotkey distribution, is only "optimized" (if the small changes I made can be labeled somehow). It been stripped a few assets: a menu, the accelerators and the icons the Auto-Type application won't need (AutoHotkey's built-in).
The Ahk2Exe.exe
knows that it needs to use this specific file for the final executable as is defined via a Script Compiler Directive in the code:
Line 186 in 408bb6d
Hope is more clear now.
