Describe the bug

Hi, i downloaded the binary https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/download/v1.7.0-prerelease-1/kanata_gui_wintercept.exe but it starts with llhook

maybe it was not compiled with the flag? it does not have the same file size as the normal, strange

Interesting, I wonder if the fault is some alignment nonsense https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/ac27bdb58b28ac915964aad273a186e7a9d8d9ce/justfile#L24

Could you check the kanata_gui_wintercept_cmd_allowed version? It seems like indeed the whitespace is the issue and the kanata_gui_wintercept.exe is a copy of the previous build katana.exe (since the new kanata fails to build), which uses llhook (kanata_gui_wintercept_cmd_allowed has no whitespace, so should work as is, and works for me) Or try the linked PR version if you can build

I got this error on the main branch. After commenting out line 390 I was able to compile and run kanata on command line. GUI worked.

Yeah, had the same issue, forgot to mention that I used an earlier commit (before 1.8 fix, something is broken in the current compile conditionals)

Thanks for testing
