Error: call to unavailable function 'system' IOS

Help
#1

Hello I had this error when compiling my project with the new version of haxe, someone knows how to fix it?

error ios

#2

i have the lastest haxe, lime and openfl what can be the problem?

#3

It’s an Xcode 9 problem, patched in HXCPP, but unreleased (as of writing)

#4

then it’s just waiting for them to fix that detail, right?

#5

You can apply this patch manually to your own copy of HXCPP, or use haxelib git https://github.com/haxefoundation/hxcpp to install the GIT version

Is this issue fixed ?
my hxcpp version is 3,4,188 ( latest version for now)
I have the same error :

Build Haxe 1 issue
Shell Script Invocation Error
Call to unavailable function ‘system’:not available on ios Sys.cpp

If not fixed , how to patch manually ? download from github and replace 3,4,188 folder ?
Thanks

#8

Just figured It out
to fix it , replace the git version with current latest version , and cd tools/hxcpp haxe compile.hxml to build hxcpp before you can use the git verison

thanks to this thread and singmajesty

Hello – so I have the same issue and same install for hxcpp (3,4,188) and I ran the ‘haxe compile.hxml’ and I still get the sys error for iOS.

Did you end up with a different build for hxcpp than 3,4,188?

Any insight would be appreciate.

Thanks
JM

You need a patched version of HXCPP, it’s not on Haxelib yet. Using haxelib git hxcpp https://github.com/haxefoundation/hxcpp may be enough to do it

#11

That did it!!! Thanks you guys, so to summarize for the next person: I ran these commands:
REMOVE OLD BUILD:
cli> haxelib remove hxcpp
INSTALL GIT PATCH
cld>haxelib git hxcpp https://github.com/haxefoundation/hxcpp
NAVIGATE TO TOOLS/HXCPP AND COMPILE
cli> haxe compile.hxml
