the solution is here: #2341

but in short
haxelib --global git hxCodec https://github.com/FunkinCrew/hxCodec c0c7f2680cc190c932a549c2e2fdd9b0ba2bd10e
this should work. worked for me.

Alternatively, if you don't want two separate hxCodec installations occupying disk space you can reutilize the already installed lib like this:

1. Go to Funkin folder and open it in terminal
2. Type haxelib libpath hxCodec and if spits out a folder path, copy it. If not that means hmm really didn't install hxCodec properly or you didn't run the command in Funkin repo folder.
3. Do haxelib --global dev hxCodec (paste the path here)

This will make a globally accessible "link" to the hxCodec in .haxelib folder, to undo it just run haxelib --global dev hxCodec

Glad that this issue is still open, I've encountered the same issue now in 0.4.1, do i need to type again haxelib --global git hxCodec https://github.com/FunkinCrew/hxCodec c0c7f2680cc190c932a549c2e2fdd9b0ba2bd10e or not because is outdated?, because i tried typing haxelib --global git hxCodec https://github.com/FunkinCrew/hxCodec 61b98a7a353b7f529a8fec84ed9afc919a2dffdd the new branch and at first it spited Error: Could not clone Git repository. after that it worked but now i've encountered the same issue again. what do i do?

I think that as long as you don't need to compile for Linux you can use the "outdated" commit ID

Hi, thanks a lot for the response, i needed to be persistent with the installation of the hxcodec never and global by removing it and installing it again (my internet connection is very poor), but ok i think that might work as well, thank you again
