hxmake

Build tools for Haxe

First install

1. Install library

haxelib git hxmake https://github.com/eliasku/hxmake.git

or clone source code and install as dev version

haxelib dev hxmake path/to/hxmake

2. Build hxmake and install command-line alias

haxelib run hxmake _

Enter system password if required to install alias

Usage

hxmake - run hxmake

hxmake _ - rebuild hxmake tool and reinstall command-line alias

hxmake all arguments you need - usage

hxmake idea haxe - run idea and haxe tasks for project

Running steps and environment

1. Linked modules are scanned from current-working-directory (Haxe compiler)
2. Build scripts class-path are added at compile-time (Haxe compiler)
3. Compiled make program is running (Haxe interpreter or Neko stand-alone application)

Status

Is under development

What is hxmake about

1. Delivering make scripts and building tasks for Haxe projects
2. Haxe language for everything: makes, tasks, plugins, whatever
3. Should run on MacOS / Windows / Linux

Cache your make program cases

You able to add --neko to arguments, in this case hxmake will generate make.n in your current working directory, and will run it as usual but with neko. This program will include all your built-in arguments, but you able to run it with additional arguments. You need to recompile your make if you modify your make-scripts or change your project in multi-module perspective.

Regular make program: hxmake --neko - just build your make program neko make.n test --override-test-target=js - for example, run your make program with additional arguments

Specified make program: hxmake --neko test --override-test-target=js - build make program which will always run test task for js target neko make.n --override-test-target=flash - and run your test task, but for js and flash target

TODO:

• Support plugins infrastructure
• Add Daemon mode with Haxe compiler server (for recompiling make scripts faster)
• Core: re-install on windows, cannot overwrite self executable
