Cannot compile for Android

[RuiCuco]

I do on a new project:

lime build android

and after a while I receive these errors:

What should I do to compile correctly for Android and thereby generate an APK?

This is an hxcpp bug. It’s been fixed, but not released to Haxelib yet.

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp/issues/1041

You can either install hxcpp from GitHub, or you can roll back to Haxe 4.2 and hxcpp 4.2.

Posting a similar error related to hxcpp and Android for anyone who might get here from Google:

Error: C:/HaxeToolkit/haxe/lib/hxcpp/git/project/thirdparty/mbedtls-2.28.2/library/constant_time.c: In function 'mbedtls_ct_memcpy_if_eq': C:/HaxeToolkit/haxe/lib/hxcpp/git/project/thirdparty/mbedtls-2.28.2/library/constant_time.c:419:5: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode for( size_t i = 0; i < len; i++ ) ^ C:/HaxeToolkit/haxe/lib/hxcpp/git/project/thirdparty/mbedtls-2.28.2/library/constant_time.c:419:5: note: use option -std=c99, -std=gnu99, -std=c11 or -std=gnu11 to compile your code

• C:/HaxeToolkit/haxe/lib/hxcpp/git/project/thirdparty/mbedtls-2.28.2/library/rsa_internal.c

This seems to be related to how hxcpp compiles its mbedtls dependency. It is fixed in the following hxcpp PR (which is not merged yet, at the time I am writing this).
