I literally just installed haxelib 3.4.7 and proceeded to install openfl. Something weird on my system? Not sure how i could have screwed this up otherwise haha! Error at the bottom of the code block below.
Thanks for any guidance

Tried installing Haxe 4.0.0rc4 afterwards, but that breaks the alivepdf lib among other things, so back to Haxe 3.4.7.

I worked around the issue by installing the non-stable haxe4rc4 from haxe.org on top of the haxe 3.4.7 installation. (I could not find any recommendations on how to upgrade.)
Then, because Haxe 4 was not working out for me, I installed the stable Haxe 3.4.7 on top of the Haxe 4 installation. And now the error no longer shows up and I can work with the latest haxelibs.
I can’t recommend it, because this might cause other issues, but I have a very tight deadline and things are messed up. – yeah nevermind, after a clean build this no longer works and the build will hang indefinitely.
What is the recommended way to upgrade haxe versions please?
Interesting – I’ll have to give that approach a go, but I agree it’s not a workflow i’d want to depend on. Luckily i’m just evaluating the toolkit right now so i don’ t have much riding on it.
You may want to try installing Haxe 4 rc4 in that case. It will at least fix the error you were getting. Openfl and Lime just had new updates which require Haxe 4 instead of Haxe 3.4.7.
Thank you sLipp, it worked for me too!
By the way, I would suggest that OpenFL’s download page gets updated, because yesterday before your post I tried to download the Haxe version linked there and things didn’t work.
So maybe there is a bug. This is the trace I got with Haxe 3.4.4 (downloaded from OpenFL web site):
