Distribution

Depending on your project you will need to include just the resource files with your application or all of the Mini-Framework class files and resource dll

If your project is compiled then Mini-Framework class file will automatically be compiled into your project as well. In this case you will only need to include the resource dll file(s) with your project.

To find the current resource folder for Mini-Framework you can run the following in AutoHotkey.

#SingleInstance force

; Include Mini-Framework version 0.4.0.5  
#Include <inc_mf_0_4>

rs := MfEnvironment.Instance.ResourceFolder
Run, explore %rs% ; will open Explorer to current resource folder

ExitApp

See MfEnvironment.ResourceFolder to see where Mini-Framework searches for resources files.

What to include when my project is completely compiled.

If the system your running your compiled script on has Mini-Framework installed then it will not be necessary to include any Mini-Framework resources with your project.

If However Mini-Framework is not installed or unknown if installed then follow the instructions below.

You will need to create a sub folder named Resource or Resources in your scripts main installation folder and include the following files.

• MfResource_Core_en-US.dll (and any other MfResource_Core_[lang].dll)
• sqlite3.def
• sqlite3.dll
• ucd.db
• /x64/libmySQL.dll
• /x64/sqlite3.dll

What to include when my project is not completely compiled and has ahk files that reference Mini-Framework.

If your project is running ahk files then it stands to reason that AutoHotkey is also installed on the target system(s). This simplest way to install all dependent file of Mini-Framework is to use the Mini-Framework installer. The Mini-Framework installer will also install AutoHotkey on the target system(s) if it is not already installed. If your are using a installer program such as Inno Setup then Mini-Framework installer could be included as a boot strap.

To manually include and install the dependent file you will need to install all of Mini-Framework classes into a lib sub-folder of your project. See Folde-File Structure for a list of file and directory structure.

You will need a single include file to include Mini-Framework in your project. See Main Include file and at the beginning of your script include as follows:

#Include <inc_mf_0_4>

The Main Include file should be placed in your scripts Lib folder and be named inc_mf_0_4.ahk.

This simplest way to gather up all the files needed for a manual install is to install Mini-Framework from the installation file. This will install Mini-Framework into AutoHotkey's Lib folder. Usually this folder is located in C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib Once Mini-Framework is installed you can just copy inc_mf_0_4.ahk file and any other Namespace files as well as Mini_Framwork folder into your projects Lib folder. This will give you all the required files in your projects Lib folder.

Other Namespace files such as <inc_mf_System_IO_0_4> are only required if they are included in your project. For instance if you not using the System.IO Namespace then your project would not require the System\IO sub-folder.
