Compile Haxe Project to native library

[Kyle Kirby]

I checked all over, and I can't find an answer (or perhaps I'm not so good at searching). Anyways, is it possible to compile a project to a native library, basically exporting all classes using the language's built-in namespace paradigm and remove the requirement of the compiler's -main <class>. The use case would be to build a library in Haxe that could be compiled to a language and used like any other class/library native to that language. For example, compiling a PHP library and using it in a non-Haxe PHP project.

Thanks!

You can compile with just Main instead of -main Main, but i don't experience with it.

and it could be a good idea to disable dead code elimination with "-dce off".

I do sort of the same within my current workflow. Whenever we reach a milestone, I compile a complete source directory in a flash target specific SWC file (which contains all my code as compiled SWF file) and use that SWC file to compile an AIR application using most of the contained code. I think the magic happens because of the --macro compiler flags. I just copy and paste my hxml - maybe that helps:

# Main class
#-main TestCoreMainSWF


--macro include('com')
--macro include('de')
--macro include('msignal')


# used haxelibs
-lib air3
-lib munit
-lib hamcrest
-lib openfl
-lib lime


# local source directories
-cp ../../src/hx
-cp ../../test/hx


# ActionScript specific
-cp ../../src/hx-as
-cp ../../test/hx-as


# no dead code elimination
-dce no
# private hx field -> protected flash field -> breaks some APIs (msignal)!
# -D swf-protected


# swf settings
-swf-version 12
-swf-header 1024:768:30:FFFFFF


# output file
-swf ../../out/swc/library.swc

I would expect it works the same way with the PHP target.

This works fine with the javascript target, just have an empty main method and expose the classes/methods you need.
