3.2.1 Mac OSX installer doesn't install binaries to /usr/local/bin/ on latest El Capitan update

[jangdan]

Perhaps a continuation of #4483

I've tried the new update and the installer. It worked, installing on usr/local/ instead of usr/

However, I still couldn't run the haxe and haxelib commands on terminal, and I found out that the installer didn't add anything to /usr/local/bin/.
I'm new to linux and stuff, so I might've missed something, but if thats not the case:

/usr/local/right after installation

[waneck]

I will look into it tonight. Thanks for testing!

Can you please run ls -al /usr/local/bin/haxe ?

[jangdan]

its just .... not.... there...........

[waneck]

That's weird!
Okay, I'll have a look tonight!

[jangdan]

I did some hacking hehe

Looking inside the .pkg, inside the scripts.tar.gz, I found install.sh, of which I'd never know if you guys are writing that shell or if an installer creator packaging program is doing that, but

there is no cp command directed to usr/local/bin, so maybe that could be the problem.

I hope this helps in any way! The problem feels simple.

[waneck]

You're on the right track ;) I'll have a look! Thanks! If you found the
issue, you can submit a PR to
https://github.com/waneck/hxbuilds/tree/master/projects/haxe/platforms/mac-clang-installer-linux/scripts

Strange thing that it was reportedly working before, and I didn't make any
changes afterwards. Oh well, go figure!

Okay, I think I know what's up
Looking at https://github.com/waneck/hxbuilds/blob/master/projects/haxe/platforms/mac-clang-installer-linux/scripts/haxe-postinstall.sh#L10 , we indeed add a link; However we don't try to create /usr/local/bin if it doesn't exist (which is your case), so the script fails silently

[waneck]

@jangdan , I've updated the binaries. It will take a couple of minutes for the binaries to be updated on the Haxe website, but you can get it from http://hxbuilds.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/builds/haxe/mac-installer/haxe_2015-10-13_master_deab442.tar.gz . Please let me know if this solves it for you

[jangdan]

both haxe and haxelib work nicely, although I haven't tried compiling anything. Compile problems should be on another thread, so if I encounter one, i'll be quick to notify you on another 'Issue'.

Screenshot of /usr/local/bin/ fyi:

So I guess the case is closed!

[jangdan]

@waneck

A little error while running haxelib setup:

/usr/lib/ is unwritable.
default directory should be updated to /usr/local/lib !

[waneck]

Great. As for the haxelib setup path, can you add this as an issue on haxelib? We'll probably leave it to fix on the next version.

[lewislepton]

dont mean to reopen this. but just wanted to ask this question:
would the new update fix the install path, so it goes to the right path? so it ends up in /usr/lib/?

im staying away from el capitan for this because of the problem in the install. the 3.2.1 does install well, but doing all the other things is bad

thanks for the work on this

[waneck]

yes it's now installing on /usr/local

[lewislepton]

ok cool. what about the location of using haxelib etc. im sure i saw someone having trouble doing install and even running the code from sublime because it could not find haxelib

[jangdan]

@waneck okay i'll just copy and paste my comment from here and add a new issue.

[jangdan]

@lewislepton everything (well, 'everything' for me is haxe, openfl, building to neko and flash, with sublime text) is working fine for me. i assume all the directory calls in haxelib are relative (how nice!). no problems.

[lewislepton]

@jangdan ok. fair enough. i use openfl, sublime. thats really about it. well as long as its ok. i just went ahead and installed capitan anyhow. may as well, one way or the other it will be fixed

[stevecochrane]

Just wanted to say that as a Mac user who is just now starting to learn Haxe, seeing this fixed so openly and quickly is really encouraging. Thanks! :)
