Hacking HippoHX

From HippoHX

HippoHX is Open Source, so you can modify it as you want to fit your needs. First thing you need to do is get the sources, you can choose between official releases or SVN.

To recompile either the packager or the common backend you need haXe 2, SWHX and Systools (they come as a SWHX dependency). Get them before anything else.

[edit] Recompile the packager

Sources of the packager are in tools > packager. Please note that although the packager uses HippoHX's API it's not an HippoHX application, it's only intended to run from the command line.

Once you've done your modifications, open a console, navigate to the src folder and execute the compile script.

[edit] Recompile the common backend end

If you've found a bug or want to add something to the official API you have to update the backend API, the client API or both.

Then open a console, navigate to the src folder and execute the compile script.

If you've find and solved a bug, please get in touch.

[edit] Recompile demos

If you want to recompile the demos you also need the Flex 3 SDK.

Then open a console, navigate to the src folder and execute the compiledemos script.
