How di I run Adobe Air SDK ADL in Linux?

Question

Hi,

I downloaded Adobe Air sdk, and want to run adl... But it does nothing at all. No error message, no results, nada.....

How do I make it at least tell me what it is trying to do? (I renamed adl to adl_linux since there was an adl file already in the flex sdk,

apparently it is for the mac)

Here is what I get:

$ $flexsdk/bin/adl_linux

$ $flexsdk/bin/adl_linux AirTopo2-app.xml

$ $flexsdk/bin/adl_linux no-such-file.xml

$

Not very helpful....... Is there anything else I need that adl depends upon???

Thanks,

Larry

OK, I am getting further...

I can get started...

But I guess Adobe does not know how to build executables in linux without shared libraries. It is just a flag for goodness sake! It includes the code

in the binary. Yes, it makes the executable larger, but it does not require the user to load a bunch of stuff he does not need/want.

I now get:

$ ./adl

Error loading the runtime (libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

My quandary is this, I work for a large company, there are over 250 developers who each have their own machines and work on the same product. We have professionally managed linux boxes that exist half way across the country. We have our development environment in views that can be created.

To include this list of shared objects in our linux boxes is not feasible. We could possibly add to our development views, and I will try and modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to location in our views.

This is a lot of work Because Adobe does not (know about?) want to use the -static flag in "ld" to not use shared libraries (and Adobe does not use Java for adl....)

It would be really nice if Adobe had a version if the SDK that did not require this huge list of shared libraries that I would not even try and request get installed company wide (my Department's linux boxes and all other standardized development boxes)

Please, Please, Please use "ld -static" when you link executables for linux! (or make adl a java program)

I need adl to run regression tests on a part of our product.
