Haxe编译的代码无法运行

Question

I'm having trouble getting executables compiled from Haxe source to work on computers that don't have Haxe installed. The problem first appeared with a simple networking program but it seems to come up for any program at all. Even something like

class Test
{
    static function main()
    {
        trace("test");
    }
}

compiled to an exe with haxe -main Test.hx -neko Test.n and nekotools boot Test.n will run on my computer but on anything else gives a neko.dll is missing from your computer error. I get a similar error if I compile the haxe source to c++ or c# and run the generated exe.

I'm not sure what neko.dll is, but I don't see how it should be required for the exe to run. I feel like I must have some basic misconception! Is this intended behavior? How can I compile Haxe code so that it will run on any windows machine without installing neko?

Answer 1

neko.dll is normally located at C:\\HaxeToolkit\\neko . You may just copy and paste that next to the exe.

Generally when distributing a exe, you have to also distribute the required dlls. You can check the dll dependency with various tools . For example, using Dependency Walker , open the exe by it and it will list out the dlls. Right click a dll item in its menu and select properties, there you will find where it locates.
