Allow local paths in -lib command-line option #377

Closed yar3333 closed 7 years ago

yar3333 commented 7 years ago

In my case I have a set of projects with a references to my own libraries (with dependencies). Local haxelib repo looks like a not good solution:

  1. haxelib don't search for repo in parent folders (so I must copy .haxelib to every project);
  2. links to my sources in .dev (inside .haxelib) are absolute and
  3. must be finely maintained.

So, I think, haxe -lib path_to_the_library is a good solution...

This should be a relatively small change in path. It's important to handle paths first and dependencies and named libs after them, otherwise if you have -lib ./liba -lib ./libb and liba depends on libb you're going to get a conflict between the libb from the haxelib repo and the one from the path.

Now I think, what -lib path_to_lib feature is not intuitive and brings the unnecessary complexity to haxe. If nobody think else, I close this issue.
