NME 6.1.1 binary nme.dll build halts with error from linker

[f-rank]

With this new version, if I try to use nme it says:

"The binary nme.ndll is not distrubuted with source code, and is not built for your system yet.
Would you like to build it now Y/n ?"

I choose Yes and it invariably halts at:

"Link: ../ndll/WindowsArm64/nme.ndll
obj\msvc19-arm64\79523588_tinyxmlerror.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'ARM64'

Error building arm64"

Haxe version is 3.4.7

Older NME 6.0.58 builds ok.
Kind of stuck, any help is very appreciated.

Are you on a windows arm64 device (surface pro x?), or are you trying to build for arm64?
It is possible the old version used win32 binaries, and these might be needed for neko.
What version of neko are you using?
If you are on a windows-arm64 machine, you could try rebuilding the windows32 binaries with neko build.n ndll-windows-m32 from the "project" directory in nme.

I'm having this problem too when using VS Studio 2019 and Haxe 3.4.7. Upgrading to haxe 4 resolves the issue. But my game won't build on Haxe 4. So I still need to stay on haxe 3.4.7. Is there any solution for this? @hughsando

[hughsando]

Are you trying to build for windows arm (surface pro) ?
You could also try the above solution, or try one of the binary build from nmehost.com or build nme with haxe4 and switch back to haxe3 for your game.

no, I'm not building for windows arm
I will try downloading binary from nmehost

[slabgames]

It's weird, even after downloading the binary version of nme, it still tries to build windows arm64 binary. I'm using windows 10 as my OS.

Same here
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU (definetly not arm64)
Windows 10 x64 Home Edition
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.4.4 (with all c++ tools installed)

haxelib run nme setup
This version of nme appears to be a source/developement version.
Before this can be used, you need to:
 1. Build the binaries appropriate to your system(s), this can be done with:
     cd project
     neko build.n
   Note: this requires the 'nme-toolkit' library, which can be installed with:
     haxelib install nme-toolkit
 2. Rebuild the main command-line tool, this can be done with:
     cd tools/nme
     haxe compile.hxml
   Note: this requires the 'gm2d' and 'format' libraries, which can be installed with:
     haxelib install gm2d
     haxelib install format
 3. Build the acadnme tool, this can be done with:
     cd acadnme
     neko ../nme.n build .

Would you like to do this now [y/n]y
Installing nme-toolkit...
You already have nme-toolkit version 6.3.3 installed
