Question: Cannot build, unexpected &

[gameboycjp]

I'm trying to build the game on Debian, but can't get it working. I get a syntax error from the newgrounds lib.
/home/gameboycjp/haxelib/newgrounds/1,1,3/lib/Source/io/newgrounds/objects/events/Result.hx:32: characters 35-36 : Unexpected &

Did I do something wrong with the setup?

I just tried it myself and built it from source on ubuntu
and just only got these warnings no syntax error
command used:
haxelib run lime test linux -debug

Uh, looks like you need to make source/APIStuff.hx

[gameboycjp]

@regulad I already have. Copied text inside and all.

[edlessz]

Same problem compiling to html5

that was a reply to my comment since it says that APIStuff was not found but its weird that you get a different error than me

[cow03haha]

Is that your haxe version is correct? I have same problem and i solve it by upgrade haxe 3.4.7(debian buster stable package) to required version

[ghost]

i used Haxe 4.2.1 and it works fine

[rodrigo1406]

Got the same problem here. I have haxe 3.4.7 and haxelib 3.3.0, using Debian Buster. Trying to compile from the source I've just downloaded.

lime test html5 -debug
/home/rodrigo/haxelib/newgrounds/1,1,4/lib/Source/io/newgrounds/objects/events/Result.hx:32: characters 35-36 : Unexpected &

Then I try to continue, as if it's nothing serious, but got another error:

lime test linux -debug
source/Discord.hx:58: characters 48-49 : Unexpected )
source/Discord.hx:58: characters 48-49 : Unexpected )

In the end there's no "linux" directory inside export/release/ (only a .build file).

Another thing, in the "Ignored files" section of the manual, there's a line:

"Just make a file in /source and call it APIStuff.hx, and copy paste this into it"

the correct would be source/ instead of /source (which indicates a "source" folder in the root / directory).

[ghost]

You require Haxe 4.1.5 or 4.2.1/later

[Ph4ntomShad0w]

well my error is source/APIStuff.hx:1: characters 1-5 : Unexpected haxe
how do i fix it?

[ghost]

package;

class APIStuff
{
	public static var API:String = "";
	public static var EncKey:String = "";
}

Paste that in

Haxe 4.1.4 or earlier won't work, neither will Haxe 4.2.0. Add the Haxe PPA.
