FTOB: Installing Haxe on Mac OS 10.5.5

I decided not to use MTASC as my compiler after all, since it can’t do Actionscript 3. I’m going with Haxe instead.

Installation:

1. Go to http://haxe.org/download and download the OSX Universal Installer.
2. Unpack the installer and double click on it
3. Open up .bash_login from you home directory in your text editor and add the line: export HAXE_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/lib/haxe/std:./”
4. Follow the instructions for “Getting Started with haXe/Flash” in the Documentation section of the haXe website to test your installation

Now you can go to http://www.loziosecchi.it/lab/textmate_bundle/ and download and install the Haxe TextMate bundle:

1. Go to Marco Secchi’s website and download the haXe bundle for Textmate.
2. Unpack it
3. In Finder, locate the Textmate icon in the Applications folder and right click on it. Choose “show package contents” from the menu that appears.
4. Navigate to Contents -> Shared Support ->Bundles within the TextMate package
5. Open a new Finder window and locate the bundle you unpacked
6. Drag and drop the haXe2.tmbundle file into the Bundles folder and restart TextMate
