Previously, a compiled .app file for HL/C wouldn't launch at all because it couldn't find these libraries. For HL/JIT, it would launch, but it might crash later when it needed to load a missing library. We need to bundle these dependencies into the .app file so that it can successfully launch on systems that don't have Homebrew installed, or haven't separately installed the exact set of Homebrew libraries that we need. We also don't want to have to make people ask their users to install Homebrew and to install the dependencies manually. Tested the .app files for both HL/JIT and HL/C on a system without Homebrew. It failed before, but now it launches successfully!
Lime
Lime is a flexible, lightweight layer for Haxe cross-platform developers.
Lime supports native, Flash and HTML5 targets with unified support for:
- Windowing
- Input
- Events
- Audio
- Render contexts
- Network access
- Assets
Lime does not include a renderer, but exposes the current context:
- Cairo
- Canvas
- DOM
- Flash
- GL
The GL context is based upon the WebGL standard, implemented for both OpenGL and OpenGL ES as needed.
Lime provides a unified audio API, but also provides access to OpenAL for advanced audio on native targets.
License
Lime is free, open-source software under the MIT license.
Installation
First install the latest version of Haxe.
Development Builds
When there are changes, Lime is built nightly. Builds are available for download here.
To install a development build, use the "haxelib local" command:
haxelib local lime-haxelib.zip
Building from Source

Clone the Lime repository, as well as the submodules:
haxelib git lime https://github.com/openfl/lime -
Install required dependencies:
haxelib install format haxelib install hxp -
Copy the ndll directory from the latest Haxelib release, or see project/README.md for details about building native binaries.
-
After any changes to the tools or lime/tools directories, rebuild from source:
lime rebuild tools -
To switch away from a source build:
haxelib set lime [version number]
