Hey guys and gals!
I just installed openfl on my laptop and I’m super excited. I need to install it on my pc also, but there it just says “blocking” after I execute “haxelib install openfl” and that’s it. OS: XP Pro SP3. Any ideas?
With Haxe and Neko installed, you can download directly from http://lib.haxe.org/p/openfl and http://lib.haxe.org/p/lime (plus hxcpp, actuate or other libraries) and run haxelib local name-of-local.zip on each one to install.
There are a couple problems you might run into on XP, in my testing, I found that Cairo wasn’t working on Windows XP for some reason, so software desktop rendering is (at the moment) not working there. The desktop GL support targets OpenGL 2+, which may not work on an older system. You should be able to do Flash and HTML5 (or target mobile) from XP, but you might not be able to do a desktop build right now.

Wow thanks so much for the fast reply, much appreciated! But the thing is, I want it to work, because it also doesn’t work with other installs like Flixel. Or do you have a similar link for Flixel by any chance? xD
Yep, lib.haxe.org is what haxelib downloads from, you can browse the projects and the latest (or older) version(s) there. The “Error: Blocked” message occurs when haxelib has trouble downloading something

Ah yes, of course, that makes sense, because for some reason I can’t connect to www.haxe.org at all! A second pc in the same network also can’t, but for some reason it’s possible with my laptop over WLAN. Well, thank you very much!!
