I setup CMake Tools extension for vscode for building a project for an embedded system.
My executable is *.elf
Every time I hit the run button, the code builds successfully and then cmake tries to run my_executable.elf which obviously cannot run on my machine.
Instead, I want to specify the extension to call a custom script I've written that uses my programming tool to flash the produced file into my chip.
How can I change the action of the run button and run a custom script/program?
Each time I restart my computer, I have to rebuild all my AHK Scripts so the keyboard shortcuts will work.
For instance, I have a script that assigns Ctrl+j to set up an instance of the MEAN stack and open my web site. After restarting my computer, pressing ^j does nothing until I go into Sublime and ^b (Build). I could build from AHK, but I do a lot of work in Sublime, so it's easier to build there.
How can my AHK Scripts automatically build on startup?
What I've tried so far:
Looking to build a post startup, startup script: This Is concerned with using an AHK script to start many programs on starup. I use Windows' Task Manager > Startup to do this, thus has nothing to do with making. I want to not have to rebuild all my scripts after every restart.
Windows 10 - run script on windows startup problem: This assumes the start script is already written and implemented. However, it doesn't appear to give the script.
AutoHotKey FAQ: I eventually found a solution here, but it took a long time to dig through the questions so I figured I'd post a question anyway to help others who run into this.
Simply add a shortcut (don't need to be the actual file) of your script in the Windows 'Startup' folder.
Three ways to get there:
1- In Windows Explorer, go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (for current user startup list) or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (for every user startup list)
or
2- Open Windows' Run application (Windows + r) write shell:startup (current user) or shell:common startup (every user) in the edit field and click on the 'ok' button.
or
3- Start > Programs > Startup (old Windows versions)
In AutoHotKey you can access this folder with the Built-in Variables %A_Startup% (current user) or %A_StartupCommon% (every user)
To create the (current user) shortcut automatically from your script, use the following line:
FileCreateShortcut, %A_ScriptFullPath%, %A_Startup%\shortcutname.lnk
To do the same for all users, use this line instead:
FileCreateShortcut, %A_ScriptFullPath%, %A_StartupCommon%\shortcutname.lnk
(in the case of having a file with the same name in the folder, the file would be overwritten)
ps: Win10 blocks scripts in startup with AHK running as admin... read the comments of this post for extra info.
Run at startup in Windows 10:
Compile the script to *.exe
Put the shortcut of that exe in startup folder "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
That's all. Do NOT set it to run as admin. Programs in Win10 don't run at startup which are marked as run as admin.
Run Script as admin at Startup in Windows 10:
Go to ahk script and mark it run as admin.
Create the VBScript using a text editor
'put it in startup folder to run the mentioned ahk script at startup
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" )
WshShell.Run """C:\Users\jerry\Downloads\scripts\some_script.ahk""", 0 'Must quote command if it has spaces; must escape quotes
Set WshShell = Nothing
Replace C:\Users\jerry\Downloads\scripts\some_script.ahk with the path to your script with extension and save it as .vbs.
Place this .vbs script at startup folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
PS: My fav AHK scripts: https://gourav.io/blog/autohotkey-scripts-windows
Open note pad or any other text editor
write Start "" "C:\ahk\yourdirectory\yourahk.ahk"
press save as
navigate to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
name the filename anything.bat
As a Windows 7 user, I have limited experience with Windows 10. I have heard that W10 can be finicky with regard to running programs underground administratie or limited user. In W7, you just add the .AHK file link to the startup dir.
A simple solution without writing any code, using the Windows Task Scheduler, set the script to start when the user logs on. If it is set to system startup it will error because it is too early.
To allow the script to automate administrative programs without running as admin, here're the required steps:
When installing AHK, check the "Add 'Run with UI Access' to context menus" option.
After installation, find AutoHotkeyU64_UIA.exe on your disk.
Open the .ahk script's properties, change the "Open with" option to the AutoHotkeyU64_UIA.exe you just found.
Create a shortcut to this script.
Open %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in the file explorer.
Move that shortcut to this folder.
And you're done.
How does it work?
The "Add 'Run with UI Access' to context menus" option provides a workaround for common UAC-related issues by allowing the script to automate administrative programs without running as admin.
Reference: Run with UI Access.
Open windows run (win+r) and type “shelll:startup”
Copy paste the ahk file into there
Close the folder
And that‘s all!
I have been tasked with creating a build server for a Xilinx project. The developer for the project provided me with the steps he manually takes to do a build, and those work fine. I am now trying to do the build via the command line, so I can set up a script to do the build. From my understanding, the command:
ECLIPSECPATH\eclipsec.exe -nosplash -vm “JAVAVMPATH\jvm.dll” -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -build all -data WORKSPACE -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.cdt.core.console=org.eclipse.cdt.core.systemConsole
Should be the correct command to perform the build (the all caps names being file paths to the various files needed). I use the same command for importing (except -import instead of -build), which does work correctly. But when I run the command, it returns a bunch of errors that are either "Cannot run program "make": Launching failed" or "Error: Program "make" not found in PATH".
The build works just fine when building from the GUI, and I didn't have to use the Tool Change Editor to change anything (it worked by default). Am I missing something from my command, or is there something else I need to set? Are the projects just missing something needed? I'm not a developer, but I would think if it builds from the GUI, the projects have everything they need to build.
I have a project where I run a Xilinx eclipse project in headless mode. It is on a Linux system, but I think what I am about to say applies to windows too.
When one of the Xilinx GUI apps run the first thing they do is source some environment settings. If you are not sourcing this before you run the command line above then you may be missing some paths in the environment, in particular the path to "make" which is not part of windows.
There is a batch file under C:\Xilinx\SDK\2014.4\ (or whichever version you have installed) called settings64.bat.
Running this before the eclipse command line should setup the tool environment you require.
C:\Xilinx\SDK\2014.4\settings64.bat
As part of the setup I also run this to help setup the workspace.
xsdk -wait -script sdk.xml -workspace WORKSPACE
I am trying to redirect Terminal output to Eclipse console using external tools where I specified Terminal path (for example /usr/bin/xterm). When I run this tool it opens Terminal outside eclipse. When I did same thing in Windows 7, setting external tool location to Windows\System32\cmd.exe it ran inside Eclipse console. I wonder how I can make Terminal (in Ubuntu 14.04) work the same way.
You should use /bin/sh as command interpreter.
In Windows, cmd.exe combines two functions—interpreting commands and displaying terminal window. In Unix these functions are strictly separated. /bin/sh interprets commands and /usr/bin/xterm (or /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator) displays terminal window, inside which it runs /bin/sh (or other shell like /bin/bash, /bin/zsh etc.) to interpret commands.
So if you ask Eclipse to run something via /usr/bin/xterm, it will appear in a new window, because that's what XTerm does. If you just want Eclipse to capture the output, ask it to run it directly via /bin/sh.
I am using a set of commands to build my project in a expanded mode to deploy it in weblogic so each time i need to go to cmd and change directory to my project directory and run the command 'client dev fullexpanded' .
I want to make a script to run these commands which i running through cmd in my eclipse so each time i dont have to open cmd and write these commands
Add the script as an External Tool (Program type) and you'll be able to fire it off from the toolbar.
