Hi, I just posted on the user list but perhaps not everyone is subscribed and though it may be of interest.
Looks like Linux works out of the box with very little config/downloads from the binary distribution. 1. Untar binary distribution of Apache Flex 2. Configure SDK I cheated a little here just to get it work: a) Copied the flex-conf.xml file from /ide/config/flex-config.xml to /frameworks b) Create the directory frameworks/libs/player/11.1 and copied the 11.1 playerglobal.swc here. 3. Create file and test a) Created a simple mxml file consisting of an Application, a Label and a code block b) Compiled file using bin/mxml ./bin/mxmlc test.mxml Loading configuration file /home/ec2-user/flex/apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-bin/frameworks/flex-config.xml /home/ec2-user/flex/apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-bin/bin/test.swf (253181 bytes) The swf run and displayed correctly (on another machine). This was on a amazon linux micro instance and I was using Apache Flex 4.9.1 but should be no issues with 4.9.0. No environment variable were need and I didn't to do anything other than above! Too easy really! Does any committer who knows a bit more of about linux (and it various distributions) than me want to run with this and make Linux a fully supported platform for Apache Flex? Thanks, Justin
