Falcon/FalconJX installation broken
Hi,
And the nightly falcon installation is broken, but this looks like an installation script issue.
Version 3.1.0 (mac)
Using Locale: en_AU
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
AIR version 14.0
Flash Player version 14.0
Creating temporary directory
Downloading Apache Flex Falcon Compiler from:http://apacheflexbuild.cloudapp.net:8080/job/flex-falcon/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out/apache-flex-falcon-0.0.3-bin.tar.gz
Verifying Apache Flex Falcon MD5 Signature
The Apache Flex Falcon MD5 Signature of the downloaded files matches the reference. The file is valid.
Unzipping: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlexTest/temp/apache-flex-falcon-0.0.3-bin.tar.gz
Finished unzipping: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlexTest/temp/apache-flex-falcon-0.0.3-bin.tar.gz
FLEX_HOME not specified. Environment variable not used.
FalconJX fails in a similar way:

Hi Kevin,
My recommended workflow for FlexJS is to build a SWF first and debug it
because the Flash Player VM and the IDE’s debugger should make that a
pretty fast edit/compile/debug cycle. So typically, you want to build the
SWF first by either integrating bin/mxmlc into the IDE or calling it
directly.
Then, once you think you’ve debugged your logic, you can take the longer
trip of cross-compiling your code by running js/bin/mxmlc.
So, for IntelliJ for now, you might need both.
FlashBuilder does not use bin/mxmlc so that’s probably why chmod is
needed. Feel free to file a bug and/or submit a patch to the install
script for that.
There might be a bug for how SCRIPT_HOME works in js/bin/mxmlc so if you
have a patch for that, that would be great as well.
Are you otherwise up and running?
Thanks,
-Alex

Thanks Alex. I had already installed the flexjs nightly and was trying to
setup external tools on intellij. I was trying to mimic the launch config
settings found in /ide/flashbuilder which was targeting sdk/js/bin/mxmlc.
When running the external tool on intellij(after updating to java 1.7) there
were complaints about not being able to access some files. So, I assumed
that falcon was not included.
The contents of the launch config found in /ide/flashbuilder:
<launchConfiguration
type='org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ProgramLaunchConfigurationType'>
<booleanAttribute key='org.eclipse.debug.core.appendEnvironmentVariables'
value='false'/>
<listAttribute key='org.eclipse.debug.ui.favoriteGroups'>
<listEntry value='org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.launchGroup'/>
</listAttribute>
<stringAttribute
key='org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_SCOPE'
value='${project}'/>
<stringAttribute key='org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_LOCATION'
value='/Users/kevinGodell/Documents/flexjs0.0.3-nightly_air-17/js/bin/mxmlc'/>
<stringAttribute key='org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_TOOL_ARGUMENTS'
value='-fb "${project_loc}"'/>
</launchConfiguration>
When setting up an external tool, should I target /js/bin/mxmlc or
/bin/mxmlc? I tried targeting /bin/mxmlc and had to chmod 744 the file
because it did not have execute permissions and intellij could not run it.
When I target /js/bin/mxmlc, I get warnings about some files not found:
Error: Unable to access jarfile /../lib/mxmlc.jar
I changed a little in the mxmlc to "$SCRIPT_HOME../lib/mxmlc.jar" from
"$SCRIPT_HOME/../lib/mxmlc.jar" and the error warning went away.
I guess the important thing that I need to clear up is which mxmlc location
should I target, the one in /js/bin or in /bin?
Thanks for the help.

If you are just trying to use FlexJS, don’t worry about installing Falcon.
The FlexJS installation process will install Falcon/FalconJX for you.
If you are trying to install Falcon/FalconJX for other purposes, the
script is trying to find an Apache Flex SDK folder. The script could be
broken, I haven’t used it in a while.

Re: Falcon/FalconJX installation broken
Posted by "kevin.godell" <ke...@gmail.com>.
I have been trying to get falcon installed using the apache flex sdk
installer, but it fails with the same error message about FLEX_HOME not
being set. I have set it in terminal with the following command:
launchctl setenv FLEX_HOME "/Users/kevinGodell/Documents/flexjs0.0.3N-air17"
and I can verify it using getenv FLEX_HOME, just to be sure. I was looking
at the line 44 @
https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/blob/aab2352e1876667880f447ba8a0931cd2cc897c9/installer.xml
and found a comment about falcon being installed inside of an existing sdk
in a folder structured like sdk/in/falcon. I am not sure if that is correct,
but I tried to target the /in/falcon folder and still have the same
FLEX_HOME warning upon which the installation fails. Can somebody clue me in
on how to install the nightly falcon using the installer?
