Hi, I have followed the various instructions and was able to successfully build the Falcon compiler. Along the way I encountered several issues that are not yet documented (I'm on OS X 10.8):
- I needed to edit the 'build.xml' file on line 50, to point the 'sdk.branch' property to the correct location of the SDK on my system; - when trying to use the mxmlc on a project, I got 'permission denied'. Setting the executable bit on the file corrected that; After that I was able to run from the command line and successfully build "Hello.as", which ran fine in the standalone Flash debugger. So I proceed to get the projects 'compiler' and 'compiler.tests' to work in in Eclipse. After importing them, I get a 'problem' on each one: - on 'compiler', I got a message about 'ANT_JAR', which after I re-created that variable in the project build path and pointed it to 'ant.jar' on my system, went away; - on 'compiler.tests' I got "missing required library 'lib/junit-4.10.jar'". Editing the entry in the 'build path/Libraries' fixed that. I got 'build.xml' on 'compiler' working in Eclipse after adding: <property name="env.JFLEX_JAR" value="/usr/share/java/jflex-1.4.3/lib/JFlex.jar"/> Then I ran 'build.xml' on 'compiler.tests' and that completed, but with plenty of FAILED tests (which I guess is expected?). So, my environment seems to be set up. Now: how can I help? Note: I'm a noob on the topic of compilers, but I can copy-paste like a Boss, so I'm sure you can use me ;-) Point me to the code and put me to work!
