I was following this Heaps.io guide (Link to Guide: https://heaps.io/documentation/hello-hashlink.html) to learn about how to make my own game like "Dead Cells" but immediately encountered this issue:

In the Compile.hxml, I also tried using "-lib hldx" instead of "-lib hlsdl" as well
I tried searching for solutions but to no use, I also can't follow other guide online if I can't get past this unfortunately.
I really am following the guide to the tee and I do not know whats wrong.

NOTE: Besides Haxe & Heaps.io, I also downloaded the additional files using [haxelib install hlopenal
haxelib install hlsdl
haxelib install hldx]

Does running hl from command line work? If so, try restarting Visual Studio Code as it might not have picked up the updated PATH environment.

That means Hashlink is not (correctly) installed. For the binary distribution, you'll have to make sure that its directory is in your PATH environment variable so that Windows can find it.
