what do I use instead

the hl type is

string

not

vstring*

?

sorry,

vstring

i mean for the primative

strings arent primitives

DEFINE_PRIM(_VOID, init, _NO_ARG);

sorry i wasn't specifc; this thing

the last argument

just _STRING i guess?

try it i guess? in my tests i used _DYN

the _STRING define looks more correct though

who knew reading the source would be helpful

yeah converting externs isn't fun 😭

low priority tho 🙁 so all I can do is either wait or do it myself

and I know how well I write externs

I haven't written any tutorials about the subject. This was written by someone else: , the only thing I added to that was a warning about

stdbool.h

having to be included before

hl.h

for older version of hashlink.

ok so I am working on those externs. that means HashLink, Neko, and CPP will have full dialog support across all backends

actually idk if it even works on CPP

I tried setting up Haxeui with the haxeui-flixel backend and targetting hashlink on Windows. I had no end of trouble with : src\module.c(321) : FATAL ERROR : Failed to load library ssl.hdll I've tried : following this: http://haxeui.org/getting-started/installing-haxeui/ + http://haxeui.org/getting-started/haxeui-flixel/ running lime setup hl and setting the path to HL I've tried both 1.11 and 1.10 I tried letting Haxeui pull all its own deps some of which are quite old. I've setting the PATH to include the library locations At this point I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I have HL working fine as a target for my regular flixel work. And the HaxeUI "Hello World" runs ok on Neko. Any other ideas ?

that’s a hashlink issue

are you on mac or linux?

Windows.

oh idk how to fix it there

I use Linux all the time and have a Mac's as well. What would you do on Linux ? I'll see if I can adapt that to Windows

i would add the path where the .hdll are to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH

yeah - makes sense - I'm pretty sure that's the same as adding the DLL directory to the PATH variable on Windows which I've tried. Or perhaps setting HLPATH both of which I've tried

lime build hl

works and the build output has all the files and dlls. What doesn't is running it oddly. I'll play with it a little further but what's really odd is that HL works fine in other projects. It's only this one with HaxeUI that I'm having an issue.

running it failing is an issue with hashlink

ssl may be used by haxeui
