scrcpy-noconsole compiled

[douxiaoping]

I configured windows_noconsole to be true in meson_options. Ninja-cx compiled, but it still didn't work.

[douxiaoping]

#define WINDOWS_NOCONSOLE
I defined this, and ninja-CX didn't work either

(Please post console content as text instead of screenshot.)

What do you mean "it still didn't work"? If you double click on the generated scrcpy.exe, it opens a new terminal?

Directory already configured

(Here your command did not work, either rm -rf x before the command, or use meson configure.)

this is meson_options.txt

option('server_debugger_method', type: 'combo', choices: ['old', 'new'], value: 'new', description: 'Select the debugger method (Android < 9: "old", Android >= 9: "new")')

rm-rf X will still pop up the terminal interface after compilation
Is it configured incorrectly there

[douxiaoping]

I use the following instruction, is the instruction wrong?Please help to have a look!Thank you for the
meson x --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true

[rom1v]

You should not modify meson_options.txt, but pass the parameter to meson:

meson x -Dwindows_noconsole=true

[douxiaoping]

Use this directive to change the config file.I compiled with NinjA-Cx and still didn't generate the Scrcpy-noconsole

$ meson x --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true -Dwindows_noconsole=true

#define WINDOWS_NOCONSOLE

[rom1v]

I compiled with NinjA-Cx and still didn't generate the Scrcpy-noconsole

No but it should generate scrcpy.exe which is a "no console" version.

See

scrcpy/Makefile.CrossWindows

Line 117 in d6078cf

cp "$(WIN64_NOCONSOLE_BUILD_DIR)"/app/scrcpy.exe "$(DIST)/$(WIN64_TARGET_DIR)/scrcpy-noconsole.exe"

[douxiaoping]

Scrcpy.exe was produced, but after the operation or the first pop-up terminal to cast screen。Makefile.crosswindows also exists in the instructions you say.Do not know the reason for the inversion cannot generate no Console software

[douxiaoping]

Could you please help me to see if this process is correct？I checked with meson Configrue X that it had been modified.The generated EXe is not the No Console。

[25/26] Linking target app/scrcpy.exe

belen@DESKTOP-S47BQP1 MINGW64 ~/test

It seems ok.

The difference between console and noconsole is basically a link flag. I had to change it on a MinGW upgrade on Debian: 18f2e33

I never tested to build the "no console" Windows version from Windows (I always cross-compile from Linux).

[rom1v]

It seems that you can create a file scrcpy-noconsole.vbs file containing:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "cmd /c scrcpy.exe", 0, false

It will start the normal scrcpy.exe but without starting a console. It works on my test machine.

Does someone know if it's expected to work on all Windows? (cc @npes87184)
If it's the case, I will remplace that noconsole.exe garbage by this vbs file.

I'm using a screen-free device with a built-in service, so I want to compile without ADB.Exe without terminal has not been able to be programmed @npes87184 您这边在win10的msys下能实现吗？

Sorry, I always cross-compile from Linux, too.

Sorry, I am not familiar with this.

OK. Does it work on your Windows?

works, but it's better to leave everything as it is and not change anything

works, but it's better to leave everything as it is and not change anything

Why? If it works, I much prefer a one-line script than compiling another binary with ifdefs. It simplifies a lot.

[Artur202030]

Why?

program start delay

[rom1v]

How long does it take? Few milliseconds?

[Artur202030]

I mean - the time for the appearance of mirroring on the desktop reaches 1 second or more. The times are not always the same.

[rom1v]

The start time is mainly the execution of the app_process on the device and codec initialization. The wrapper vbs script is negligible. (Isn't it for you?)

You can't pass parameters to scrcpy.exe this way!! The only way to pass parameters is hard-coding them.

J.

Yes, this should be improved: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17443309/1987178

But the only purpose of no-console is to start scrcpy without console by double-clicking on a file, so it should not be a big deal if the parameters are hardcoded.
