Re: Building FlexJS from source
I've been struggling for a while trying to find the right settings that
will let me build FlexJS from the git repositories on Windows. I've
documented my steps here now that I've managed to get the
flex-asjs/build.xml/binary-release ant target to work:
https://github.com/adufilie/flex-dev-setup.
I had to change the flex-asjs build script a little because there was a
conflict in the way GOOG_HOME was used in different places. I'd like
someone to review this change before it gets incorporated:
https://github.com/adufilie/flex-asjs/commit/e677c9c07309c9729749df76edb179c43c355494
Is flex-asjs/build.xml/binary-release the correct target for getting the
same output we get from the FlexJS nightly build? I haven't figured out
how to test the build output on my own project in the same way I can test
the nightly build. Any advice on how to do that?
Also, I recently fixed some errors in the flex-falcon/compiler.jx/bin
scripts:
https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/commit/945449549ed91914193db852e17014cafb440c5d
but it seems that these files aren't even included in the FlexJS nightly
build. Should that folder be removed?
Finally, the flex-asjs "all" target still doesn't work:
compile-asjs:

[echo] FALCONJX_HOME: C:\asf\flex-asjs/../flex-falcon/compiler.jx

That's where I get the debugger for the browser, but I wasn't sure
specifically where FlashPlayerDebugger.exe comes from. I guess it's the
"Flash Player projector content debugger"?
Thanks for the clarification. I'll update my flex-dev-setup project when I
have everything running smoothly.

Pretty good. The FlashPlayerDebugger can be downloaded from
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
(it says so in our READme ;-))

Ideally, developers like us should be able to point to different versions
of Google Closure Library and not assume it is downloaded into js/lib. So
maybe a better set of changes is to see if env.GOOG_HOME is set and if
not, default to js/lib/...

The nightly build runs "ant release", not the "binary-release" target.

1. Expand the apache-flex-flexjs-xxx-bin.zip into an empty folder.
2. From that folder, run ant -f installer.xml
That folder will now be an IDE-compatible Apache FlexJS SDK. There is
also a way to hijack the Installer. But most of the time, I just copy
swcs and jars into an existing folder and restart Flash Builder.

Ah, sorry, didn't notice that. The flex-falcon repo has a copy of scripts
that are supposedly not as directly tied to FlexJS. The flex-asjs repo
has its own copy of these scripts that make a few more assumptions (or
maybe those differences have gone away by now). So you will need to make
your changes to flex-asjs/js/bin

Ugh. Haven't tested this in a while. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, in the future, we will probably look in some relative folder paths
instead of requiring the environment variables.
We are going to invest in refactoring the folder structures to make it
more Maven-friendly before we address this issue.
