Is it possible to build only the core parts? (no TLF, no PB, no frameworks)

[Oleg Sivokon <ol...@gmail.com>]

Hello, list.

It's been a long time since I last touched anything Flash / Flex, but
here I need it once again :) I'm trying to build the SDK on Linux, but
I'm really tired from editing the build and trying to eliminate the
parts I don't need.

Long story short: is there a way to only build the compiler and
debugger?
I really don't think I need anything else, no AIR, no framework, just
the tools. The dependency I'm currently trying to resolve is the
PixelBender. Is it necessary to have PB in order to buld the compiler?
If so, why, or how could I side-step this?
Also, does the compiler still require the bogus AS classes it used once
to link assets, or can I run it completely w/o any SWCs, and still be
able to transcode and link assets?

Thanks!

AFAIK pixelbender is used during sdk build to create shaders (*.pbj) for 
ShaderFilter classes within the mx.effects package

Oh, I see, thanks, I think I've got MXMLC to compile, haven't tried
Falcon yet. But if I get this job, I'll probably have to, so will also
have to look into what's possible to do with the compiler :)

Best,

Oleg

'ant modules' should just build the Java code into a compiler and fdb.jar.

The compiler still wants to subclass AS classes when generating embeds.
I'd be interested in patches to Falcon that would allow you to choose the
class it subclasses so you could just use bare FP native classes.
