Hello World Seg Fault on Linux

aiokos

Flixel version: 4.2.0
OpenFL version: 4.8.1
Lime version: 3.7.4
Linux version: Ubuntu 16.04
Affected targets:
Neko, Flash, HTML5

I am having trouble running the "Hello World" example provided in the haxeflixel getting started docs.

Configured flixel-tools with vscode default. Running through the "Hello World" example (http://haxeflixel.com/documentation/hello-world-command-line/) results in a segmentation fault (core dumped) when testing with lime.

Code snippet reproducing the issue:

package;

import flixel.FlxG;
import flixel.FlxSprite;
import flixel.FlxState;
import flixel.text.FlxText;
import flixel.ui.FlxButton;
import flixel.math.FlxMath;

class PlayState extends FlxState
{
	override public function create():Void
	{
		super.create();
		add(new FlxText(0, 0, 0, "Hello World!"));
	}

	override public function update(elapsed:Float):Void
	{
		super.update(elapsed);
	}
}

lime test neko
lime test flash
lime test html5

Observed behavior:
segmentation fault (core dumped)
Expected behavior:
Window with "Hello World" in the title bar.

HF currently uses openfl 3.6.1 and lime 2.9.1. You should downgrade those.

I downgraded openfl & lime to 3.6.1 and 2.9.1, but I am still getting the same error when running lime test neko.

flixel: 4.2.0
lime: 2.9.1
openfl: 3.6.1

Sorry I can't help more, I'm working with windows.

@aiokos
from Wikipedia, "A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system)."

from stack overflow, "A 'segfault' is when a program accesses protected or invalid memory; usually due to poor memory management or buggy pointer manipulation."

try with flixel: 4.0.1. could be a bug in the software

@galoyo Downgrading to 4.0.1 did not fix the issue. I tried the downgraded version with updated versions of lime and openfl as well. I think I will open a Github issue and see if it is related to a bug with the ubuntu package. I have no problems on windows.

@dean Thanks for giving it a shot anyways.

I suggest you check if it works with a pure OpenFL project. You can create one via haxelib run openfl create.
