Has anyone had luck setting up vaxe for kha development?

Compiler error: No valid build file

OvermindDL1 commented

Nope, Kha does not follow any kind of standards for its build system. Heck, it uses node of all things for its build system...

RobDangerous commented

Thanks from me as well, @OvermindDL1

Not to say it cannot be added for note, just no one has done so yet.

So, for the other build systems (snow, openfl) there's a somewhat complex startup process that looks for project specific build files, and then infers what to do. E.g., a project.xml file infers an OpenFL project, a *.flow project infers a Flow project. So, the first step may be to identify the "giveaway" file for a kha project. What's the file to look for?

OvermindDL1 commented

I've only recently started using Kha (loving its system structure, starting to understand its build system though I still dislike javascript (I prefer typed languages)). But the key file to look for I'd say would be "khafile.js" from what I've seen thus far. I'd quite love a PR to add support. :-)

khafile.js it is indeed.
