Davide,
If you are gonna setup haxe and neko on your osx machine, I seriously recommend setting it up using GIT so that you can have a branch per each haxe version. I've got a branch for every version since Haxe.1.13. It's quite helpful.
I've got all files located here:
/Users/mb/HaxeNeko (mb is my user folder)
Looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x 16 mb staff 544 Jul 5 11:34 .git
-rw-r--r-- 1 mb staff 42 Jul 4 13:54 config
drwxr-xr-x 11 mb staff 374 Jul 5 11:34 haxe
drwxr-xr-x 15 mb staff 510 Jul 5 11:34 haxelib
drwxr-xr-x 20 mb staff 680 Jul 5 11:34 neko
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mb staff 135838 Jul 4 13:54 temploc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mb staff 280782 Jul 5 11:34 temploc2
Because I use git, I have these branches, so that I can switch quickly depending on project:
Haxe_1.13_Neko_1.5.3
Haxe_1.15_Neko_1.6
Haxe_1.17_Neko_1.6
Haxe_1.19_Neko_1.7
Haxe_1.19_Neko_1.8
Haxe_2.02_Neko_1.7
Haxe_2.04_Neko_1.8
Haxe_2.06_Neko_1.8.1
* Haxe_2.07_Neko_1.8.1
For neko I have some symlinks to this folder from /usr/lib
I have this setup in ~/.bash_profile:
echo "Welcome Marcus, Environment Initialized. (Haxe/Neko/ImageMagick)"
export NEKOPATH=/Users/mb/HaxeNeko/neko
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/mb/HaxeNeko/neko
export HAXE_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/mb/HaxeNeko/haxe/std
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/Users/mb/HaxeNeko:/Users/mb/HaxeNeko/haxe:/Users/mb/HaxeNeko/neko:$PATH
export MAGICK_HOME="/usr/local/imagemagick"
export PATH=$MAGICK_HOME/bin:$PATH
Hopefully, that will be of some help.
I recommend everyone to have a similar setup, it's been extremely helpful when working on projects throughout these years.
Some projects date back to 2006 and 2007. I've used haxe for 80% of our company work since then.
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
Regards,

Davide, you should be able to install haXe wherever you like. Maybe not using the installer, but just by copying the files to the chosen directory. Then you'd have to the vars up, and with haxelib you can call "haxelib setup" and choose the directory where it will be installed!

Hi,
has anyone managed to install haxe and neko and nekonme in OSX without requiring admin superpowers?
It looks to me like the only two reasons why admin powers are required is that
a) some environment variables are set
b) some subdirectories are created under /usr/ (and referenced by haxelib)
a) can be worked around by using export - although the changes are only local to the current terminal session, which would be fine
b) ???
Anyone tried this?
Cheers,
Davide
