Yes. I'm pretty sure you can do this.
There are command line options that will compile/run/broadcast/debug the program
I know there is a thread around somewhere which documents this but having had a look just now i cant find it
This is an extension for Notepad++. I think you might find the command line options somewhere in there

Note that the compiler is bound with the IDE in Studio so this is not possible in Studio

@blink0k :
Thank you for your reply.
Too bad that compiler is bound in IDE with Studio as this request was to analyse small source codes for code composition in my 2DMapEditor project...
I will make this functionality available for AppGameKit Classics and will request TGC help to know if they can find a solution for me (the objective is not to create executable but just check source code for errors).

The link for notepad extensions provides me the information I required :
Quote: "Compile
"F:\AGK108B19\IDE\Compiler\AGKCompiler.exe" -agk $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"


Thank you ! Problem solved for Classics. Will require attention for Studio.

I Can't find the thread link now, but there were a discussion in AGKS that someone said they will ask Preben if it will be possible to do a compiler commandline for AGKS.
Maybe search the AGKS forum....

Fubarpk already added a request for access to the compiler in AppGameKit studio back in december
https://github.com/TheGameCreators/AGK-Studio/issues/582

The compiler access in classic is no problem.

Thank you all for your answers.
Really instructives ones for some

But my requirements are really light.
1. Compiles an .agk project
2. Get result (errors or compilation ok)

I got the answer for classics and will integrate my idea in my 2DMapEditor project
Will keep an eye for AppGameKit Studio compiler release to add support for it if changes must be done for ~.

Thank you all.
Regards,
Freddix

Tried a cmd line without success... Agk compiler does not compiles, nor return error or anything else. Anyone have an idea?

If you put the project in the folder with the compiler and run cmd as administrator, then this works.

[href]null[/href]ow, and you put the compiler argument -agk + the source code to compiles inside double quotes..
But having to copy everything inside the AppGameKit compiler directory may be bad way of doing thing. More to this, I must be able to run the compiler from inside an AppGameKit executable this mean that I have no control over administrator on/off capabilities of the executable (except by telling user "you must make 2DMapEditor.exe being run as adminitrator" .. Not top. It must be simpler... AppGameKit can run compiler without being adminsitrator of the computer. right ? So I must found a solution ....

I must also found a solution to compiles directly in another folder....

Tried to put AGKCompiler.exe being auto-used as administrator (properties of executable) didn't work there.. .exe is not generated

Very strange, the full path does not work for me, but if you look at https://github.com/TheGameCreators/AGKIDE/blob/master/data/filetypes.agk it says how to access the command line.

When I use your last code snippet and adapt it to my install folders (path for the Agc file) ...
Nothing happen ... no error message ... no .exe compiled ..
Same result than before
(I'm on Windows 7)

Will get it a try again ... I've probably done something wrong.

EDIT : I didn't see you log output as ... there was an error and nothing generated.
Now it work correctly.
Thank you.

I'll have to make user define the AppGameKit installation path to use this inside my 2DMapEditor tool.
Thank you.

Freddix, a little more precise, if you change the -agk to -run then it will compile and run.
