It’s possible to use MinGW instead of MSVC?

I’m not really sure – i’m pretty much at the same point as you, just been playing around with hxcpp generator, seeing what it can do. I dont really have much of a background in c++ so probably asking hugh would be the best shot (altho he has been very quiet for the last few weeks, maybe on holidays) or people on the haxe list might know

I want to ask one more quetion .

I am not sure if the compiler only rebuilds altered cpp files (i think it might just refresh them all)… it may tho. I guess you can check the date changed. It has always been fast enough that i havent checked- you would have to ask Hugh at gamehaxe.com.
The makefile that it generates only tells cl.exe to recompile the modified files however – creating new .obj files – which makes the c++ compilation a LOT faster – so you should notice that it all compiles very fast.

I have another qustion.
when I first build with compile flag –remap flash:neash it take me lots time to make a lots of cpp files ,but I want to ask ,if I build it again.can I don’t make these cpp files again?thank you !

yes – you need to remap the ‘flash’ package to ‘neash’ as that is how c++ handles all of the flash api – so you need the compile flag –remap flash:neash

hi,I got a problem like this.

when I follow your way it can work!,
but I change My code copy from gamehaxe site clock.hx,
such like

import neash.display.Sprite;
import neash.display.Shape;
import neash.geom.Matrix;
class Clock extends Sprite
{
. ………….
static public function main()
{
neash.Lib.Init(“Clock”,640,480);
neash.Lib.SetBackgroundColour(0xffffff);

new Clock(320,240,200);

neash.Lib.Run();
}
}

my command line

haxecpp.exe -cpp cpp -main Clock -cp “std” -lib nme -lib neash
pause

it throw a error:

You can’t access the flash package with current compilation flags…

why? anyidea?
thank you !

Thanks for the helpful post!

FYI, I had trouble with getting the generated c++ code to compile, because I have multiple versions of visual studio installed and the configured PATH and environment variables were set for the wrong version. Yet I didn’t want to change all my environment variables, lest it break one of my other projects. The solution was to add a line to the make_cpp.bat file, just before nmake:

call “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat”

(or whatever your VS2008 install path is to vcvarsall.bat)

Have you made sure that you have setup all of your environment variables correctly? This was the thing that stopped me for a long time.
Could could post it on the haxe mailinglist as some more experienced c++ peeps might help.
