Developing on Linux
flex users list,
I have a bit of a question.
I'm fairly new to the list, I've noticed several dev emails from the dev
list, more notably I've been following Justin's updates and notes on
getting flex better prepped for the *nix platform.
I'd much rather develop on a linux box. I'm much more partial to linux and
it's power over windows as far as developing in general. However, up till
now I've been developing my Flex4.5 apps on windows with Flash Builder, and
will probably continue to do so until I get everything properly set up on
my linux partition.
So, I've searched and read multiple "install flex sdk on linux" tutorials,
and I'm seeing some differing opinions, most of them refer to using the
adobe flex 4.6 sdk ... not sure how much of a difference there is from the
last official adobe release vs. the apache releases. I'm also not sure
which tutorials to fully trust and which one's are a more hackish "look, I
got it running" type of a tutorial.
Soooo yeah. I'm just not sure where to really start here. I'm looking for a
solid starting point that offers the information I need to really make
choices based on a bit more of a solid understanding of the process, what's
going on in the dev world, and the adobe/apache transition world.
Any thoughts or links? Really anything would be appreciated :)
Thanks,

You can take the windows or OSX binary, run the (possible incorrectly named) /ide/flashbuildermakeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh script and that will produce an SDK that works on Linux. If using AIR you'll need to change the version.
Alternatively you can install Apache Flex SDK on a Mac or Windows box and just copy the SDK to your Linux box.
I've made a few modification to the build script and tests and a few other things but none of it essential just makes it a bit easier to use and make it possible to compile the SDK on Linux.
I've added basic support for Linux in the installer but that's not complete yet. I might have some time next week to work on it.
You might want to look at the scripts in the ide directory (develop branch) to set the Flash Player and AIR versions as they work on Linux.
Hopefully we can get everything together in time for the next SDK release.
Thanks,
Justin

Let's hope it never comes to that. I've been developing in Flex for about 4
years now, and I love it.
Thanks for your clarifications.

Currently your only option is going to be develop on Windows or OSX for mobile apps. There's not much Apache can do about that until Adobe decides to donate the source code and we have people willing to work on porting it to Linux.

If they did that we'd still have all of the previous versions that would be viable for 3-5 years at a guess. I wouldn't worry about it until if and when it actually happens.

I'm building mobile apps. In fact, my customer uses the same AIR app on
Windows PCs as well as Windows tablets and iPads. This is why, like you
said, I need AIR 3.
On a slightly different thread: I fear that Adobe will someday decide to
stop AIR development, and not give it to the community. We would be in deep
trouble. Are there any plans for an "open AIR"?

Question: What is your goal? To build web-based apps? To build AIR apps
for Linux? AIR apps for mobile or other desktops?
In theory, you can swap out whatever version of AIR is in your SDK for AIR
2.6 and build and debug apps that run on Linux since that's the latest AIR
for Linux, but then you can't build mobile apps because parts of that
require features of AIR 3. I'm not sure we'll ever have a solution where
you can build and debug mobile apps on Linux. Or other AIR apps for
Windows and Mac that require AIR 3 features.
For web-based apps, you have a similar issue with what features rely on
player features newer than what works on Linux, but you should be able to
get further.

Re: Developing on Linux
Posted by Mathieu St-Gelais <ma...@gmail.com>.
Here's what I've done on my side so far:
- Install the SDK on Windows
- Copy the whole sdk folder on Linux
- Configure IntelliJ to use this SDK
Compiling works without problem. My problem right now is that I can't run
the AIR application that is built. I have to push it to a Windows VM to see
the actual. The main downside to that is that it's impossible to run in
debug mode. So I'm back to developing on Windows.
I'll be following developments around Linux closely.
Also: I don't have much free time, but if I can do something to help, I'd
be glad to.

Yeah, I saw the work on Alert, which is great news. I'm definitely excited
to see where the Apache community is going to take Flex. I'm still fairly
new to Flex, but I'm ramping up as fast as I can. I'd love to start
contributing.
Thanks again for the input.

Hi,
> Do I need to checkout the installer project from SVN (any particular branch, rev ?)
Use the develop branch, either get it form github:
https://github.com/apache/flex-utilities/tree/develop
Or from the git repo directly:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-utilities.git
The code you're interested in is in the installer directory.
> and then build it ?
Yep that's basically it see README and RELEASE_GUIDE on what to set up regards environment variables etc.
> I assume it'll need me to install the (old, unsupported) AIR for Linux runtime ? Not the full SDK ?
Yes. Rather than manually installing the SDK use the scripts in the ide directory they (should) support Linux and will download the correct version of AIR and inject it into the SDK.

Justin

Hi,

If you could help out on any of these:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33527
Done initial work but needs testing.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33529
Need to work out how to obtain and inject the pixel bender files and fix a checkin test that's failing.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33531
I've done some more work on the mustella tests but there still a few that have path case issues and still don't compile.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33532
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33533
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33534
This works but there's an issue with a check in test that stops the build.
There probably other issues to sort out as well.
> That would be one of the things you agree to by checking the box.
Sadly for legal reasons we can't do that - it's the reason the AIR installer exists.

Tons. Check the release notes. Soon they'll be Spark Alert's etc too.

At the mo., it's a case of 'build your self', you can't use the
installer, because it's AIR, and AIR is DOA on Linux.
And self build is a pain. You still need an updated AIR SDK to build it
all, and they don't exist for Linux.
I removed the build targets that required it and the result seems to
play well in FDT, but not really pushed it yet.
And I know I'm missing thinks like the mobile skin SWCs, but that's not
important to me.
I don't see why the Apache team couldn't do the above (correctly !), tar

Re: Developing on Linux
Posted by OmPrakash Muppirala <bi...@gmail.com>.
It is reasonable to expect that people don't have their SDKs built before
building the Installer, which is why this was originally done this way.
But most of the time, the users have their SDKs merged. So, it is
perfectly fine if you give the same path to both the variables.
Thanks,

Mind moving the config file to the correct place then? That probably easier than required people testing to edit the code.

We had a discussion a while ago that we don't want to clutter the root of
the website with numerous versions of the installer config file. Hence the
move to the new installer directory.

Why not just put the file into the new location? Any reason why the location changed in the config file?

Moving to dev@f.a.o.
In the loadXML() function, replace the line:
request = new URLRequest(Constants.APACHE_FLEX_URL +
Constants.CONFIG_XML_NAME);
with
request = new URLRequest(Constants.CONFIG_XML_NAME);
This will let you load the config file from the local disk.

Hmm, I had did a 'git pull' just before, which brought in the drop
downs, but the error is from inside the SDK itself ?
I'll review what I have locally over the weekend (left my laptop at home !).

Think this issue was fixed a while back do you have the latest version of the code?
setupWindowInitOptions should have these lines of code in them.
if ("renderMode" in init)
init["renderMode"] = _renderMode;

git pulled, built and :
$ ls release/
apache-flex-sdk-installer-2.6.0-bin.deb
:-)
This does install and run, but 'Aborting installation' appears after download
and half way through the MD5 check and the log file button doesn't seem to do
anything.
No errors on console.
Nothing in the folder I was installing the download SDK too by that time.
I was able to catch it while it was checksuming though, and :
falken@wopr:~/Documents/packages/apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-bin-air-2.6/ide$ ls -lah
/tmp/sdk/temp/ ; md5sum /tmp/sdk/temp/*
total 61M
drwxrwxr-x 2 falken falken 60 Jun 22 17:46 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 falken falken 60 Jun 22 17:45 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 falken falken 61M Jun 22 17:46 apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-bin.tar.gz
7556b8ece4db360e4cb3a4723737a373 /tmp/sdk/temp/apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-

Which match what I get for

Re: Developing on Linux

Right, progress !
It does now build, but it's built a dmg rather than rpm/deb. This appears to
be because of package.kit in the build.xml ?
It should have built a .air too, right ? I can't find this artefact...
The build went like:
...
packageair:
[echo] Using cert temp.p12
packagenative:
cleanup:
[delete] Deleting directory /home/falken/workspace/flex-
utilities/installer/build
build:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Hi,

You can't just unpack the AIR SDK over the SDK on Linux, Windows or OSX. I know there are a few blog posts and the like that say you can but a little more needs to happen than that.
The script to run is:
./addAIRtoSDK.sh 2.6 ..
This will download Linux 2.6 AIR, move what required into the right place and change the config files for you (there's 3 of them).
Depending on your shell you may need you modify the script a tiny bit (on OSX sh is actually bash). What shell/version of Linux are you running?

Justin

I had no idea there was a script I needed to run after unpacking the

Yes, AIR 2.6 SDK.

The SDK needs to be a working 4.9 or 4.9.1 SDK, not just a downloaded zip. There's a bit of a chicken and egg issue here, so either copy a working SDK off another machine or run the script in the ide directory to set the AIR version to 2.6.
And by latest AIR for Linux I assume you mean 2.6?

There should have been a script to run to get the SDK to use AIR2.6?

Tom, did you compile it yourself? Some setting still isn't right. The

It would be hard to guess which feature that is. You should try to set it

Sadly, there it stuff in the project that requires a later Flex SDK ?

Yep just edit the file and change it to 2.6. I asked on the dev list for the best way around this but no answer yet.

If there is nothing in the installer that needs the newer features, why
not just use that namespace to start with then ?

That is correct. You want to do some ant jujitsu to change the namespace
to 2.6 upon detection of Linux OS. Take a look at the target :
"update-version-in-xml-files" (in the same build.xml) for an example of
how to do a search and replace.

as far as I know, you can't use a newer name space with an older AIR SDK ?

Hi,
All yours. It's needs some improvements/documentation but it should now work. It currently downloading the OSX binary but that work out of the box on linux so should be no issues.

They have been checked into the develop branch. I'm just making a few other minor mods and they should be checked in 1/2 hour.

Sweet. Hopefully I was of some use. Ping me an email when those changes
are made ? I'll merge my SDKs in the mean time ready.

Hi,
OK after running into a minor AIR install issue[1], the installer compiles and runs on Linux. The initial drop boxes to select the version of AIR/FP are not working so we'll need to fix that.
Thanks,

Hi,
> OK, sweet. My ant-foo is poor :-)
There 2 other issues - you run into the first
1. The SDK needs to have AIR merged into it.
2. The release file new to be a .deb not .dmg
I'll check those fixes in shortly.
After that you should have an real installer to test.

OK, sweet. My ant-foo is poor :-)
Now it gets to
compile:
[mxmlc] Loading configuration file /home/falken/Documents/packages/apache-
flex-sdk-4.9.1-bin/frameworks/air-config.xml
[mxmlc] /home/falken/Documents/packages/apache-flex-sdk-4.9.1-
bin/frameworks/air-config.xml(64): Error: unable to open
'{airHome}/frameworks/libs/air/airglobal.swc'
[mxmlc]
[mxmlc] </external-library-path>
[mxmlc]
I assume this should be substituting in the value from somewhere and isn't.
I changed the air-config file to have a hard coded full path. I assume that is
the wrong way to really fix it.
Now it gets as far as complaining the install wont build with the most recent
version of the Linux SDK:
packageair:
[echo] Using cert temp.p12
[java] /home/falken/workspace/flex-
utilities/installer/src/InstallApacheFlex-app.xml: error 102: Invalid
namespace http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4
which is kinda a show stopper.

Hi,
Mad a couple of changes to the build.xml file - should get a little further. Not that one of the failure was due to case in MD5 files and that format="md5" vs format="MD5" fixed the issue.
Thanks,

Thanks for the link but we're trying to go a step further and get the SDK installer to compile on Linux.
