`nekotools boot` is a bit of a hack and some tools that deal with executables on linux can strip away the haxelib bytecode if it is done this way. `nekotools boot -c` will generate a .c file which can then be compiled manually.
Otherwise it doesn't work if haxe isn't already installed, or it might use the wrong version of the standard library

They are now needed for compiling haxelib

For some reason this environment variable isn't working here on Windows
We don't have neko binaries for mac arm64 yet `nekotools boot run.n` was previously also producing an x64 binary

It looks like /usr/local/lib is no longer used as a default path in some cases.

Since we are building the executable on macos-13 (rather than macos-12) |
|
Should I merge this or do we need to do something else first? |
I don't think there's anything left to do here. |

nekotools bootis a bit of a hack because it simply copies the neko exectuable and injects in the neko bytecode. This can cause issues with some tools that deal with executables on Linux/Mac. HaxeFoundation/neko#130 (comment)This started happening on Arch linux, where the bytecode somehow gets stripped away during packaging so haxelib becomes unusable because it is reverted to the regular neko binary. See: #11652.
nekotools boot -cwill instead generate a .c file which can then be compiled manually. I've changed this for Mac and Linux, but for Windows it will continue to usenekotools bootas it is simpler and doesn't cause issues there as far as I'm aware.I'm not sure if this may have packaging implications now that a c compiler is used directly in the make file?
