So when I get out of the car and walk around it, what gear should I leave it in, and should the car be turned on when I do so?

Hi,
On iphone and android, SDL is not used. There is some code so you can use windows without SDL. In fact, you can use the “external stage” to use the library without SDL – eg inside wxwindows. So if you are keen, it is pretty easy to side-step SDL.

I am trying to find a “work around” for the SDL library….not a big fan.

I know that this post is a bit old but I just found it. There is so much to learn and technology keeps changing so fast. I have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you for a great resource.

Hi Frank,
Check out the later post, http://gamehaxe.com/2010/08/19/new-release/
There is an XCode template that should make things much easier.

Hi, this sounds like something nice to explore. But I get stuck at step 5.. I can’t seem to add “main.cpp” because I can’t find it in the NME project. I installed hxcpp and nme and neash with haxelib. What am I doing wrong, please ?

Hi Alec,
The nme version 2 stuff does not use SDL, so these errors should go away. I probably do need to recompile with the latest SDK though.

hey, i think I got everything working, but it appears that hxcpp and cohorts don’t support iOS 4.0. Perhaps a recompile is in order? I get these errors:

Hello, if any of you are like me and have just downloaded the new iOS 4 SDK and you can’t get this to go then after much trial and error the easiest method seems to be to use previous version – it seems as Hugh mentioned earlier that the gcc has been ‘optimised’ and will struggle to produce an iphoneos.a library. (At least I couldn’t get it it go anyway)

here’s a link to iPhone SDK 3.2 Final with Xcode 3.2.2
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/download.action?path=/iphone/iphone_sdk_3.2__final/xcode_3.2.2_and_iphone_sdk_3.2_final.dmg

there’s more here:

don’t forget to edit BuildCommon.xml in /usr/lib/haxe/lib/hxcpp/2.05.x/build-tool and change IPHONE_VER to match the 3.0 SDK, tho if you’re upgrading you’ll probably still the 2.2.1 in there too!

Good luck!

it appears that the Error ZLib Error : -5 has something to do with how the swf has been compiled. Do you have any ideas? the Circle1.swf loads fine on to device and Sim but not some other SWFs I’ve tried.
