Question

Error running source setup.sh

This is my first time to get in touch with flex at all. So I am a blind rookie, hungry fro some action. I had two problems sourcing the setup.sh

1. The source.sh was unable to find the flash player gz.
# 2. I dont have the default ant and jdk on my ubuntu. and it always points to the defaults where as I even set them in the environment for this session. The error trace is at the bottom of the post.

Solution to first problem: I gave a path for the player. Does this mean the path is incorrect in the current version
Solution to second problem: I am checking if the HOME paths are missing only then use the defaults otherwise dont.

Changes are as follows:

Currently I have solved like this, Applications compile and run fine.
It could be wrong and thats why I am posting here.

=============================================
# This was tested on Ubuntu
elif [ $OS = "Linux" ]; then

#If ANT_HOME is not there then take the default one.
if [ ! -d "$ANT_HOME" ]; then
ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant
fi
#If JAVA_HOME is not there then take the default one.
if [ ! -d "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then
JAVA_HOME=`readlink /etc/alternatives/javac | sed -n 's/[\\\/]bin[\\\/]javac$//p'`
fi

# Add player PATH for reuse eliminate chances of copy errors.
PLAYER_PATH=in/player/10/lnx

# Don't unpack the player every time, unless it's been updated
find $PLAYER_PATH -name flashplayer ! -cnewer $PLAYER_PATH/flashplayer.tar.gz -exec rm {} \;
if [ ! -f "$PLAYER_PATH/flashplayer" ]; then
echo "setup.sh: Unpacking player to in/player/lnx/flashplayer"
tar zxf $PLAYER_PATH/flashplayer.tar.gz
mv flashplayer $PLAYER_PATH/flashplayer
fi
=============================================

Yep I agree with you. Its always nice for things to work that our documented, its motivating for someone to quickly adapt if the said stuff is working.

I agree with you about just making it work. I just did that.

The player is still there in SVN. Its just the script that needs some changes and those I posted in my last message :)

Thanks for your reply. Just that its my first few hours on flex I wasn't sure if I was in the right direction.

Regards,

setup.sh is intend to help you out, rather than always work.
Just set the required environment variables yourself and skip this step if
your setup is non-default.

I *believe* the player is no longer in SVN because people were pulling from
there pre-public release and the Adobe folks needed to reduce load.
Unfortunately they are all busy at the mo @ MAX, but if you copy a recent
player into the correct place it should be fine.
