Segmentation Fault with haxelib on MacOSX

[chipbell4]

Hello, I'm trying to install this package on my Mac and it's currently failing. Here's my package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "haxe": "^5.0.0"
  },
  "haxeDependencies": {
    "haxe": "3.4.7",
    "haxelib": "3.3.0",
    "neko": "2.2.0"
  }
}

npm install finishes with no errors, but when I run npx haxelib it fails:

$ npx haxelib
Called from C:\Users\nadako\Code\haxe\std/neko/_std/Date.hx line 98
Uncaught exception - Segmentation fault

Some info about my setup:

• Node: 10.7.0
• NPM: 6.4.1
• OS: 10.14.4

Let me know if I can help in any way! Thanks!

Sorry, i don't no much about npx. Why do you need it ?

[chipbell4]

Ah, npx ships with npm as a shortcut for running bin files from other modules. npx haxelib is the same as:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/haxelib

[damoebius]

does it work from your package.json like that ?

"scripts":{ "postinstall": "haxelib --always install build.hxml", "build": "haxe build.hxml" },

[chipbell4]

Updating my package.json to this:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "haxe": "^5.0.0"
  },
  "haxeDependencies": {
    "haxe": "3.4.7",
    "haxelib": "3.3.0",
    "neko": "2.2.0"
  },
  "scripts":{
    "postinstall": "haxelib --always install build.hxml"
  }
}

And creating a dummy build.hxml:

--js main-javascript.js
--main Main

And running npm install gives me the following log:

> [email protected] install /Users/cbell/git/haxe/node_modules/haxe
> node install.js

Looks like it's still failing. I haven't looked at that particular line in Date.hx yet, so I'll go take a look in a bit.

Did you find a solution?

[chipbell4]

I unfortunately, did not. It's been a while, but IIRC I resorted to use a docker container with a global haxe install to run the build. Not ideal, but it got me unstuck at the moment.
