Work is progressing on the nme install-tool, which helps make this a little bit easier.

haxelib run nme build MyCoolApp.nmml macos
haxelib run nme update MyCoolApp.nmml iphonesim

It will compile and run a Mac OS application, or generate an XCode project for compiling to iOS or the iOS simulator.

There are some sample applications which use the *.nmml file format, or you can download this one:

Make sure you are using the newest copies of hxcpp and nekonme, and that you have set "haxelib dev hxcpp /path/to/hxcpp" and "haxelib dev nme /path/to/nme". You can test either the original install-tool, or build the new tool by running "haxe InstallTool.hxml" from within the /nekonme/install-tool directory. Both should work for Mac OS and iOS.

Snow Leopard

In the instructions below, replace ::checkout_loc:: by your svn checkout location.

Setup

• If you have not already done so, get nme and hxcpp into haxelib:
  

  haxelib install hxcpp
  haxelib install nme

• check out the following libs into ::checkout_loc::
  

  svn checkout http://nekonme.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ nekonme
  svn checkout http://hxcpp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hxcpp
  svn checkout http://sdl-static.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sdl-static
  svn checkout http://gm2d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gm2d
  svn checkout http://hxformat.googlecode.com/svn/branches/shx-branch/ hxformat-shx

• point haxelib to the svn versions of hxcpp and nme
  

  haxelib dev nme ::checkout_loc::/nekonme
  haxelib dev hxcpp ::checkout_loc::/hxcpp

• make sure your env vars are set up. one way is the create a ~/.bash_profile
  

  alias ls='ls -G'
  export NEKO_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/lib/neko
  export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:::checkout_loc::/hxcpp/bin/Mac:::checkout_loc::/nekonme/ndll/Mac:.

• now source it
  

  source ~/.bash_profile

• patch ::checkout_loc::/hxcpp/build-tool/BuildCommon.xml (only if your iphone version is different from SVN

Rebuild HXCPP and NME

Please note:
By default the following flag is added for compilation:

-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

If you don't have the 10.5 SDK installed, add "-DMAC_USE_CURRENT_SDK" for each of the haxelib commands below, like

haxelib run hxcpp BuildLibs.xml -DMAC_USE_CURRENT_SDK

echo ========= HXCPP ===========
cd ::checkout_loc::/hxcpp/runtime
rm -rf obj
rm -rf all_objs
haxelib run hxcpp BuildLibs.xml
rm -rf obj
rm -rf all_objs
haxelib run hxcpp BuildLibs.xml -Diphoneos

Trying the new install-tool

cd ::checkout_loc::/nekonme/install-tool/
haxe InstallTool.hxml

Have Fun !

test say http://www.joshuagranick.com/code/haxe/NMML%20Test.zip with:

haxelib run nme update NMML\ Test.nmml iphonesim
