To use OpenGL core profile on macOS with Haxe and OpenFL:

1. Install Haxe and OpenFL:
   Install Haxe from https://haxe.org/download/. Then, install OpenFL via Haxe CLI:

    haxelib install openfl
    haxelib run openfl setup
   

2. Create an OpenFL Project:
   openfl create project MyOpenGLProject
cd MyOpenGLProject

3. OpenGL Access:
   Use lime.graphics.opengl.* for lower-level OpenGL control, crucial for core profile features.

4. Configuring Core Profile on macOS:
   macOS requires Cocoa API interaction for OpenGL core profile contexts. You may need custom native code interfacing with NSOpenGLContext or a library that handles this.

5. Community Resources:

• Forums: OpenFL Community Forums
• Discord: Haxe Discord Server

6. Seek Examples and Libraries:
   Explore the Haxe/OpenFL ecosystem for existing solutions.

Note: Modifying OpenFL/Lime for a specific OpenGL context on macOS can be complex. Community forums and Discord are great for advice and shared experiences.

This is basic approach try to run the above command in your terminal or command prompt after installing haxe.

If you're new to Haxe, OpenFL, or OpenGL, consider starting with OpenFL samples and tutorials to get a feel for how the framework works. Once comfortable, gradually introduce OpenGL calls to your rendering logic.
