Specific instructions for running on OSX/Linux #4

Open fullofcaffeine opened 8 years ago

fullofcaffeine commented 8 years ago

It clearly states that it can run over wine or crossover with Qt helpers, but it's not clear how to do that and what is the recommended way to go. Maybe a install script could be included for OSX/Linux users?

@elsassph @Meychi @Neverbirth Can someone provide this information for me? I am a windows user so I don't have a clue. I can put it on the website myself if you put the instructions in this ticket or something.

The process has more steps as .NET 3.5 is now required and Java was updated but its almost the same.

Meychi commented 8 years ago

There isn't HaxeDevelop version available yet. We need to make one and maybe also do a rebranded bridge too.

fullofcaffeine commented 8 years ago

It might also be wise to add links to other cross-platform options, like the new open source Visual Studio IDE, vim + vaxe (which I currently use), emacs, IntelliJ, etc.

@fullofcaffeine yes that is a good idea, will add such page soon too.

markknol commented 8 years ago

I added a page with other editors. feel free to add more of them. I now basically copy/pasted them from the haxe.org website because I'm lazy.

laurence-myers commented 8 years ago

I was a bit lost when I tried to find out how to install and run HaxeDevelop on OS X, so here I am listing the instructions that seemed to work for me.

Is this sufficient information to include on the web page? Where would this go? "System Requirements" seems like the best existing page, but maybe another page ("How to install") would be more suitable?

markknol commented 8 years ago

I added a new how-to-install page. http://haxedevelop.org/download.html

I only need a Linux installation description.

elsassph commented 8 years ago

The installation page for Win says "download Notepad++" :)

For Mac I'm afraid it's not enough: there are serious quirks that you're not with quite quickly: installing Haxe, the horrible bug when you want to change fonts, incomprehensible completion bugs, how to install a less crappy font than Courier... I wasn't able myself to get a colleague properly setup although I know both MacOS and HaxeDevelop well.

this is probably not the correct place to mention this, but I got this error 

winetricks dotnet35
Using winetricks 20160628 - sha1sum: 50a251b30cdc417f8a9fee7508b8c61df74c3abd with wine-1.8.3
Executing w_do_call dotnet35
------------------------------------------------------
error: dotnet35 conflicts with dotnet20, which is already installed.
------------------------------------------------------

tried to force the install:

winetricks --force dotnet35

which is a spooky experience with flashing terminal windows, xquarts opening and 2 wine.bin programma's (with ugly window installer icons) opening but never closing....

It looks like its installs .net 2 and later 3

It close to the experience @laurence-myers describes "At one point I had to manually close a hidden window; installation for something seemed to complete but never exited"

but I am not able to open HaxeDevelop and it crashes at startup....

I'm with @elsassph; this is not the way for osx

elsassph commented 8 years ago

I have a Mac at work (because I need to build for iOS...) and I'm using Parallels - frankly it makes the cohabitation really seemed. Just need to give the bridge a try now to improve the project panel's refreshing.

laurence-myers commented 8 years ago

So, you can install HaxeDevelop using Crossover. Can someone who installed HaxeDevelop this way confirm that it works okay?

If so, given that Crossover is built on top of Wine, it should be possible to install HaxeDevelop with Wine. We just need to work out the magic incantations to do so! 😃
