Briefly describe the issue(s) fixed.

Temporary solution with HxPKG is to force install libraries that have C++ files included in them, such as hxCodec and hxdiscord_rpc.

The fix has already been merged internally within the hxcpp repository.

Global installs of said libraries will be reverted once Haxe 5.0.0 releases.

See: polybiusproxy/hxCodec#300 (comment), HaxeFoundation/haxelib#618 for more details on the issue.

Description

HxPKG, just like HMM, is a Haxe library/module manager that installs libraries with a singular command, locally.

For more on how to use HxPKG, read here, to submit issues for the library directly, click here.

Changelog:

• Replaced HMM with HxPKG
  • With this, all labels, code, workflows and setup processes have been modified to fit HxPKG

Note

Additional testing from the Funkin' Crew's side is required, as to make sure that their internal workflow isn't disrupted by this change.

Special Thanks

@CCobaltDev for HxPKG
@lemz1 for editing the macros to work with HxPKG

Include any relevant screenshots or videos.

That issue happens because hxCodec needs to be installed globally, by the way

It doesn't need to be installed globally

HxPKG remedies that issue as it's something with some flag, I don't exactly know..

[CCobaltDev]

woah its real

i haven't tested installing hxCodec with hxpkg

[NotHyper-474]

I'm pretty sure that's been resolved internally already anyway HaxeFoundation/haxelib#618, although seems like we'll still have to deal with it for a while: polybiusproxy/hxCodec#300 (comment)

[CCobaltDev]

haxe moment
i'll just add a thing to force global installation of hxCodec

[biomseed]

You can't do that with hmm

This PR uses HxPKG, so, it'll be a thing for HxPKG, not for hmm

[CCobaltDev]

Extra info
hxpkg works in github actions
to install the packages for testing along with the ones for testing its hxpkg install unit

HxPKG should hopefully force hxCodec to be installed globally if detected within .hxpkg

This is a temporary fix until Haxe 5.0 comes out

hxCodec is always installed globally through hxpkg
not ideal but I can't do much about it

[doggogit]

If someone could teach me how to re-base (so I can delete that pesky CHANGELOG commit) and sync branches from the correct branch, that'd be fuckin' wonderful LOL

[doggogit]

@ninjamuffin99 sorry for the @, but, since you're the Git guru around here, is there a way you can fix the "duplicate" commits from appearing?

[doggogit]

Squashed the commits, did a few changes, this should be a-okay now!

[EliteMasterEric]

If the underlying issue got resolved in hxcpp why do we need this change

[CCobaltDev]

It was a haxelib issue, and the fix won't be released until haxe 5 (iirc)
And it fixes some library installs being goofy

[NotHyper-474]

It has been clarified in polybiusproxy/hxCodec#300 (comment) that it was actually a hxcpp issue.

But if it does fix how hmm screws up installs then that'd be actually very cool.

[charlesisfeline]

not to mention that hxvlc will be replacing hxCodec in the next update (afaik) so i dont see much of the point either tbh

[doggogit]

If anything, hxpkg got some cool additions and features, gonna delete the branch now
