Neko Platforms

Neko is an intermediate language and portable virtual machine developed by Nicolas Cannasse. Xinf's "native" XinfInity? runtime is based on neko.

Neko is written in portable ANSI-C, so it should be trivial to get it to run on any modern operating system. Nevertheless, there are three platforms that neko supports somewhat more directly (i.e., with binary distributions). All neko-based Xinf HaxeLibs should support all those platforms out of the box. They are:

  • Microsoft's Windows - likely mostly the 32bit variants starting from Windows 2000.
  • Apple's MacOSX - all Xinf libraries come with fat binaries including versions for PowerPC and Intel Macs.
  • Linux - this normally refers to 32bit x86 linux. If you use any other GNU-(or at least Posix-)based OS (like LinuxPPC, amd64, etc), you might get lucky by compiling your own haxelibs from source. If you do this, please turn up on the MailingList and share how it goes.

Note: in practice, there's still some trouble: see #1 and #2. Maybe you can help?
