[Solved] Linux MacroShader error

#1

Hi, on Linux Kubuntu 14.04 with recent non-dev version of haxe, lime and openfl I got following problem while trying to build openfl PiratePig:

and compilation stops.
MacroShader got some regex in this line.
ActuateExample, HerokuShaders and BunnyMarks works (dont have such errors).

Thank You:) I’ll check those versions:)

Topic solved in the last posts here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/haxelang/EkGQw5qCR-0
which actually is:

# cd /usr/lib
# sudo ln -s libneko.so.0 libneko.so

latest versions of lime and openfl works :slightly_smiling:
Best regards, Ret

How did you install Neko? Did you use our install script, or did you use another method?

#6

I followed info on haxe main site for Ubuntu:


added ppa:haxe/releases and run commands given.

#7

Same problem still exists today (when installing haxe/neko via ppa://haxe/releases), same solution still works.

Got the same problem and gone ahead with same solution with an updated neko version file.

# cd /usr/lib
# sudo ln -s libneko.so.2 libneko.so

just instead of libneko.so.0 I have libneko.so.2

Hope that helps someone.
