I’ve updated the Haxe install script for Linux:
http://www.openfl.org/builds/haxe/haxe-3.4.2-linux-installer.tar.gz
If anyone tests this out, please let me know if there are ways we can improve it, and if it works properly on your distribution

sweet, I’m going to test this when I get home!
404 … Its gone! Perhaps the link is just broken? Is there still a script? Also, just a plain list of all dependencies - including version numbers - can be helpful. Especially if you’re into exotic Linux distro’s.
Also some questions would be which version of OCaml best to use? And are there any issues with kernel versions? And last will it run on all cpu’s? i686, x64, arm-v7, arm64 and mips?
someone send me the rpi ndll
With some googling I’ve just found this script. It’s based on Raspberry Pi and it suggests these dependencies: (although I doubt that some of these will be 100% necessary (Eg. imagemagick))
libgc-dev
bzip2
git-core
make
gcc
g++
gnuplot
glade
imagemagick
libusb-dev
python-usb
python-lxml
python-wxgtk2.8
speech-dispatcher
libgnomecanvas2-dev
m4
libsdl1.2-dev
ocaml
ocaml-native-compilers
This post from 2015 suggests that OCaml 3.12.1 is the main targeted version. But the post is kind of old and version: 4.01.0 was already mentioned also the latest version is: 4.06.0. So if anyone can still recommend a version.!? That would be appreciated…
After installing OCaml 4.01.0 on a C.H.I.P. linux system and cloning the Haxe repo. I get this output when executeing make:
/usr/bin/ocamlopt: unknown option `-safe-string'.
If I then remove that commandline switch from the Makefile:
<source>/libs/extlib-leftovers/Makefile
The output is this:
File "rbuffer.ml", line 37, characters 19-24:
Error: Unbound type constructor bytes
Makefile:25: recipe for target 'extlib-leftovers.cmxa' failed
I have no clue how to fix this! Perhaps I need to install a different OCaml? (3.12.1?)
