Compiler failure with 4.3.0-rc.1+dd0d6a6

[jobf]

I was trying the latest nightly (as of 4th April) and see the following error.

Haxe: 4.3.0-rc.1+dd0d6a6; OS type: unix;

Can you provide minimized code example?

[jobf]

Main.hx

class Main{
	public static function main(){
		trace("4.3.0-rc.1+dd0d6a6");
	}
}

build.hxml

-cp .
--main Main
-hl bin/hl/out.hl

It dies here, so it appears you are missing (or the compiler cannot access) the hl_version file in std/hl.

haxe/src/compiler/compiler.ml

Line 141 in dd0d6a6

if not (Common.defined com Define.HlVer) then Define.define_value com.defines Define.HlVer (try Std.input_file (Common.find_file com "hl/hl_version") with Not_found -> die "" __LOC__);

[jobf]

Thank you, it's fixed by specifying HAXE_STD_PATH

export HAXE_STD_PATH=/path/to/nightly/std

Closing for real now.

[RblSb]

I think we should report useful error here instead of playing dead, can be reopened?

[jobf]

OK that's a good idea.

[Simn]

Could someone ghostwrite the error message for me?

The file hl_version could not be found in the standard library directory (insert path here). This could happen if you are using an older version of the standard library with a newer version of the compiler. Please make sure HAXE_STD_PATH is set to the standard library corresponding to the used compiler version.
