[DISCUSS] Discuss Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 RC2
This is the discussion thread.
In RC2, the build script should now make the folder chain for bin-legacy.
It didn't always do that for everyone.
We are now going to use Jflex 1.5 which is under BSD so we don't have to
have it as a prerequisite.
Also, we hopefully fixed the two issues brought up by the folks attempting
to integrate with FDT.
I also added some more information to the RELEASE_NOTES mentioning that
this is an 'alpha' release and noting a few things that we know don't work.
Thanks,
-Alex

OK, thanks, I'll look into it.

HI,
Look like this check in compc and mxmlc may not be correct:
if [ "$isOSX" != "" -a "$HOSTTYPE" = "x86_64" -a "$check64" != "" ]; then
D32='-d32'
fi
In that it sets D32 when using a 64 bit JRE.

Hi,
Also just run into this - I'm assuming you using a 32 bit version of Java to compile?
./compc
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.
./mxmlc
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.
Thansk,
Justin

Yeah, I'm testing fixes for those two issues.

Yep if you use the correct command line options it does work, sorry about that I had assumed that "-output" was a new option.
./compc -include-sources dummy.as -o dummy.swc
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Loading configuration: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/frameworks/flex-config.xml
1492 bytes written to dummy.swc in 2.190 seconds
But we do still have:
- minor issue with version numbers
- comp/mxmlc not working on 64 bit JVMs due to D32 options
Thanks,
Justin

That was added to the cross-compiler, not the swf compiler.

I'll check. I had assumed it has just been added given the changes to support other IDEs.

I may be doing something wrong, but the SDK's compc seems to have the same
behavior? It's help for -output is the same (which is really the -output
for mxmlc).

I noticed the SDK's scripts have additional logic, so I'll try that out,
then look into compc.

I think it might use LZMA compression.

Hi,
I noticed the swf compiled by the falcon version of mxmlc is about 10% smaller - any idea why?

Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 RC2

HI,
If you disable the D32 option you can get mxml to work but I was unable to get compc to work.
There's a few issues. Some minor/some perhaps some not?
Minor issue - build and version numbers are not correct:
./compc -version
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Version 2.0.0 build 0
./mxmlc -version
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Version 2.0.0 build 0
Minor issue - output should probably default to the current directory and file name?
./compc dummy.as
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Loading configuration: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/frameworks/flex-config.xml
Error: configuration variable 'output' was not set
Minor issue - can't use "." as output option?
./compc dummy.as -output .
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Loading configuration: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/frameworks/flex-config.xml
Error: Could not find source for class dummy.as.
./compc -help output gives:
-output <filename>
alias -o
the filename of the SWF movie to create
Possible blocker? So looks like you need to try this :
./compc dummy.as -output dummy.swf
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Loading configuration: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/frameworks/flex-config.xml
Error: Could not find source for class dummy.as.
Which fails - so looks to me that compc is broken by the new -output option, unless I'm doing something wrong?
Some good news is that mxmlc does seems to work:
./mxmlc dummy.mxml
Using Flex SDK: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/
Loading configuration: /Users/justinmclean/Documents/ApacheFlex4.12released/frameworks/flex-config.xml
241693 bytes written to dummy.swf in 5.262 seconds
The swf ran fine, however 5 seconds seem like a long time to compile a single line application to me.
Thanks,
Justin

Not sure, are the parent folders the same for both Rcs? Maybe you
unpacked rc2 into some place outside your trust file coverage?

Hi,
When running the test I'm getting this:
SecurityError: Error #2017: Only trusted local files may cause the Flash Player to exit.
at flash.system::System$/exit()
at MXMLArrayTagTests7108051912974711294/enterFrameHandler()
at MXMLArrayTagTests7108051912974711294/>0()
Why is this an issue with RC2 and not RC1?
Thanks,
Justin

The 'alpha' aspect is mentioned in the release notes. But you're right
that I forgot to remove those paragraphs. I must have missed that when I
was reviewing the rc1 discuss thread. Will do shortly.

Hi,
In READme
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/falcon/0.0.1/rc2/READme
Nowhere is that this is an alpha release mentioned.
Still has this text:
This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with Adobe Flash
Player 11.1, and is compatible with versions 10.2 through 13.0. It has
been tested with versions 11.1, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9 and 12.0 on Windows
and Mac. It has been compiled against other Adobe Flash Player versions
but has not been fully tested. It has not been fully tested on Linux.
And this:
This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with AIR 4.0, and
should be compatible with other versions of AIR newer than 3.1. However
it hasn't been fully tested on AIR 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7.
May be that this file has not been updated?
Thanks,
Justin
