Building sample project in Linux (Ubuntu) - Segmentation Fault

Help
#1

Hello everyone.

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and installed Haxe using the following command:

sudo apt-get install haxe

Then, I installed openfl and lime:

haxelib install openfl
haxelib install lime

After that I created a sample project using:

openfl create project

Finally, I tried to compile it running:

openfl build flash

And I’m getting the following:

/usr/lib/haxe/std/haxe/macro/Context.hx:210: characters 9-42 : Invalid input value
/usr/lib/haxe/lib/openfl/8,0,2/src/openfl/_internal/utils/ExtraParams.hx:13: characters 7-32 : Called from
–macro:1: character 0 : Called from
Aborted

I also tried building using the html5 target but got a segmentation fault.

Haxe version is 3.4.4.
OpenFL and Lime versions are 8.9.0 and 7.3.0, respectively.
I tried downgrading OpenFL and Lime to 8.0.2 and 6.3.1, but still got the same error.

Does anyone has clues on what is going on?

Thanks!

Somehow your error points to OpenFL 8.0.2 though?

Hey there.

Yes, that was the output of when I tried to downgrade the OpenFL version to 8.0.2.

The output is the same for 8.9.0:

/usr/lib/haxe/std/haxe/macro/Context.hx:210: characters 9-42 : Invalid input value
/usr/lib/haxe/lib/openfl/8,9,0/src/openfl/_internal/macros/ExtraParams.hx:12: characters 7-31 : Called from
–macro:1: character 0 : Called from
Aborted

Regards.

Welcome to openfl
There are 2 nice articles covering it:
Start here https://www.openfl.org/download/
for example you didnt mention you did “haxelib run openfl setup”, also read the special linux-instructions

after that it should work.

Something seems funny :confused:

Could you try installing Haxe again using the PPA?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:haxe/releases -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install haxe -y
mkdir ~/haxelib && haxelib setup ~/haxelib

Hey Vega and singmajesty, thanks for the help.

Running “haxelib run openfl setup” didn’t work.

Following singmajesty instructions worked! (I had to run the commands to install openfl again: haxelib install openfl && haxelib run openfl setup)

Now I can compile the flash target. Unfortunately, I’m still getting segmentation fault for html5 target, which is the target I really want :confused:

Do you have any other suggestions?

#7

Could you try openfl test html5 -verbose and share the full output?

The output is (the initial chars are the OpenFL logo):
