Install set versions of haxe, openfl and lime on Raspberry Pi 3 running Stretch

1-Readme.md

#DEPRECATED, here for historic value

UPDATED to work with Raspbian Stretch

These scripts install a set version of openfl and lime in this case openfl 8.4.0 and Lime 7.0.0 (but you change those) Sometimes the latest version of lime or openfl doesn't work (yet) on the Raspberry Pi.

There's 2 scripts here to install haxe and openfl on Raspberry Pi. One that doesn't ask any questions and just installs everything
and one that takes you step by step.
( I recommend the latter )

After installation completes you need to logout and login to have ~/.bashrc set HAXE_STD_PATH correctly or do
source ~/.bashrc

if for some reason you still get Standard library not found error
Manually add the following line to your ~/.bashrc script export HAXE_STD_PATH=/usr/lib/haxe/std

install_openfl.sh

I'm having the following error in a raspberry pi 3

/home/pi/Development/haxe/lib/hxp/1,0,5/src/hxp/System.hx:4: characters 7-20 : Type not found : haxe.MainLoop

I tried a couple of scripts:

install_haxe_rpi.sh and install_openfl/sh

This error appear in two places for me, when using the scripts trying to execute this line:

lime rebuild hxcpp linux -rpi -v

and later trying to test or build a openfl project

At some point I was able to not have the errors by using this fix you mention here
https://community.haxe.org/t/solved-raspberry-pi-setup-issue/1111/3
Even with the fix I was not able to compile, but I think is a different issue, this because the error was related to the "project.xml" or wrong parameters.

Anyway, I rolled back to try again and the error persist (it's showing again and I'm not able to fix it).

Can you point me in the right direction?
