Hello,

It's an option that may be important for me in a project I will maybe start.
Is there a way to run appgamekit compiler for specific platform (androïd mainly) from an application I create With/Without appgamkit ?

Regards,
Freddix

in tier1 the compiler create a bytecode file, this was used in the media folder for the interpreter core project at android.

you can exchange the compiler with your own exe to get the app parameters that are used by the agk ide if you hit there the tool bar buttons.

then u can start this compiler with needed Arguments from a batch or app.

Pretty sure this will be against the AppGameKit ToS.

Why would it not be allowed?

You still have to purchase AppGameKit to legally obtain and use the compiler, and its use still binds you under any agreements for its use.

Calling from outside the IDE should really be meaningless as far as they are concerned.

I have long been calling the dbpro compiler from the command line and a custom c# build application.

I have no problem with people calling the compiler from another app. The only issue would be if you distribute the AppGameKit compiler with your project.

The command line call is "AGKCompiler.exe -agk main.agc", but this is left over from when we had the old compiler. The main.agc part is ignored with the latest compiler, it will always look for main.agc no matter what that part says. So you could just use "AGKCompiler.exe -agk" and it would work exactly the same.

The compiler needs to be called from the directory of the project you want to compile, i.e. the working directory must be the one with main.agc in it.

Paul, my project will need AppGameKit but will not distribute AppGameKit

In fact, my project is (and it's only an idea at this state), to make a new XQuaEditor *LIGHT* for AppGameKit.
But due to the way AppGameKit work for Androïd, this new XQuadEditor will contain specific (AppGameKit) sources codes that it will modify depending on the *game project* developed with it.
And then it will call the AppGameKit compiler to compiles these specific sources codes.

Regards,
