Forcibile add a local header referance

[neimanpinchas]

I have a class Main.hx that refrences CivetC.hx (Main.cpp and CivetC.cpp)

When building with the provided batch file in the sample project, CL complaints about the CivetC static functions.

When I add manually #include <CivetC.h> then its compiling fine.

So I tried to add via meta @:headerInclude("CivetC.h"), but it does not get passed to the compiled CPP

What can be a solution?

Could you provide a minimal replication project?

I tested with this repo https://github.com/neimanpinchas/haxe_civet_web

I hope it is not too bloated

Main.hx is using CivetC.hx, but include CivetC.h is not present in Main.cpp the CivetC static functions are not avalible in the file, only when I add it manually.

Please note that in order to build the CPP code 2 manual changes should be made, I wasn't yet succesfull in fixing it in haxe
#1 const_cast from const to non cons on CivetC (70)
#2 comment out the next two lines, because extern is not convertible to string

Fortunally refalxe.cpp code is very readable so it is easy to add.

Could you try using the @:include meta? To have an #include added in files the class is used in, use the @:include metadata. @:headerInclude adds an include in the .h file the class is generated for.
