Haxelib repository path in project.xml file? ( cannot use command prompt )

#1

Hi everyone :smile:

I started using Macbook with CrossOver and FlashDevelop. Problem is that FlashDevelop cannot find openfl, it says that it cannot be installed. I cannot set path with Terminal since I am using CrossOver and Windows app, and there is no command prompt in CrossOver.

So how can I set the path to haxelib repository ? Is there any way to do it in project.xml file ?

p.s. this is kinda emergency so whoever helps first just send me your email to claim the reward

If CrossOver on Mac is like Wine in Linux then you’ll need the windows version of haxe and openfl installed using CrossOver too.

Or perhaps look into this: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Bridge

I am not sure how is it possible to install openfl with Crossover, the Haxe was installed during FlashDevelop installation.

As for the bridge, I have it and it is working, but I am not sure how to use it to make that FlashDevelop can find HaxeToolkit folder.

Maybe try opening a command window as described here: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/faq/maccmdprompt and running the usual

haxelib install openfl

Alternatively have you tried IntelliJ Idea? Their latest free version with the haxe plugin made by TiVo is actually quite good. It’s a bit behind FlashDevelop in terms of features and a bit more complicated to create a project because of their build settings but it’s more than usable as a Haxe IDE. That’s the one I normally use on Mac / Linux.

Other cross platform IDEs include Haxe Studio and HIDE but they’re both still in development.
