Or should it?

It does allow the sys package: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxnodejs/blob/master/extraParams.hxml

I don't know if it can actually add -D sys because that's a reserved flag. We might have to find a solution for that.

Yeah but some lib/code depends on the sys define. When the sys-related api are complete (e.g. Sys.stdout()), I think the compiler should define sys for us.

Tried -D sys and it complains that I can't set it manually.

Is it possible to hardcode inside the compiler, defining sys when it sees the hxnodejs lib is included?

But hxnodejs doesn't implement full sys api (because it's impossible without dirty tricks (#64). It just implements some of it, so I don't know if it's reasonable to define sys...

@nadako maybe make a checklist of them and see what we can do.

the main problem is that we can't implement synchronous API that are used in sys, like Sys.stdout().

Will this work? http://stackoverflow.com/a/6471170/3212365

Hmm, I don't know. Will have to look into it, not sure if that'll work everywhere. Thanks for the hint!
