Haxe

doesn't mean you need to post the issue across many channels

looks like a read write access problem. I would try to setup powershell for windows if that is still relevant ( not on windows now ) and reinstall haxe but make sure it has has full privalages to read and write.

also maybe you have virus software that is blocking ports

I would check with your current setup if you can atleast run a simple hello world with pure javascript no libraries and then try to install 'format' haxelib

I expect atleast one won't work so trying to install whole openfl certainly wont

assume everything is not working and test that assumption before trying to do everything

they managed to get stuff working with manual installs via zip

I need to run some code before assets are loaded, to change the CWD so that the assets are loaded from the correct directory. Is there a way of doing this?

The assets are in a library which is preloaded

Looks like there is already a better solution for my issue: https://github.com/openfl/lime/pull/1538

Is if="sys" a valid check? Or would I need something like if="desktop || mobile"

i'm pretty sure it is, have you tried compiling?

`Error: Could not create PCH` error appears when trying to build to windows, what does it mean and what can I do to fix it?

Is there a way to access `lime.app.Application.current.meta.get('file')` from a build macro?

```
<app main="Main" path="export" file="Sample" />
```
As in this value.

I don't think it's available at compile-time in defines or anything like that. maybe you could read the project.xml file manually.

Does anyone have any examples of how this works or where it's been used?

I ended up doing what I needed to do by adding a template file. Here's an example:

Start.sh
```
#!/bin/bash

# Start the game
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib/ ./::APP_FILE::
```

include.xml
```
<extension>
    <template path="templates/Linux/Start.sh" rename="Start.sh" if="linux" />
</extension>
```

The above creates a start script or launch script called Start.sh and places it in the build directory on Linux computers. The proper file name for the executable gets filled in.

is there how to activate a specific haxedef for all dependencies of a lime project?

i wanted to disable all of my dependencies traces on final/release mode

what dependencies ? ... you can do inside of project.xml (or hxp workflow=?)

i want to disable traces for all the haxelibs i'm using on that project

ah .. yes.. set defines or flags inside the project.xml
