Help building Haxe 2.10

[theRemix]

i have successfully built neko and haxe v-2.10, however haxelib has never worked for me

here is the output of running haxelib

Uncaught exception - std@module_read

i've tested all combinations of 

• haxe v-2.10
  
• haxe v-2.10-fix
  
• haxe v2-10-fix-ocaml4 ( https://github.com/clemos )
  

on brand new fresh installs of

• debian:wheezy
  
• ubuntu:trusty
  
• gentoo:stage3-amd64-20141204
  

they all have the same result, working haxe, working neko, broken haxelib, which prevents me from building any haxe projects that have -lib argument.

here is output of haxe -help

Haxe Compiler 2.10 - (c)2005-2012 Motion-Twin
...

output of neko

NekoVM 2.0.0 (c)2005-2013 Haxe Foundation

and here is how i installed haxe and neko on a fresh ubuntu install

echo "Installing Haxe dependencies" && \

    apt-get update && \

    apt-get install -y make libzip-dev ocaml git-core libgc-dev libpcre3-dev apache2-threaded-dev libsqlite3-dev camlp4 || echo "ERROR: Failed to install haxe and ocaml dependencies with apt-get" && \

Hi,

It seems you need neko 1.8 to compile and/or run Haxe2

Here is a Dockerfile that works for me :

https://gist.github.com/clemos/4946cdae89040167eff7

There is quite some renaming you probably don't need 

(because my intent was to install both haxe2 and haxe3 on the same machine),

so that the command is `haxe2` instead of `haxe`, 

but it's rather easy to change.

Best,

Clément

thanks Clément!

haxelib is working, sort of.

it runs, however, haxelib setup is failing

haxelib setup

Please enter haxelib repository path with write access
Hit enter for default (/usr/lib/haxe/lib)
Path :  
[file_open,null/.haxelib]

have you ever experienced this?

Hi,

Sorry, I wasn't really interested in installing Haxelib, so I never went that far ;)

The relevant code is here :

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/blob/v2-10-fix/std/tools/haxelib/Main.hx#L525-L580

It's not very clear, but you may start by trying to set an HAXEPATH environment variable, I guess...

Best,

Clément

[theRemix]

it does work. thanks!

echo "export HAXEPATH='/usr/lib/haxe/'" >> /root/.bashrc

echo "export HOME='/root'" >> /root/.bashrc
