Question

Inconvenient feature

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum, so maybe this should not be posted here. But I have a really hope you developers can help me with it.

The flex and gumbo are great. Just one little flaw: the shell scripts under bin/ directory, maybe they are not written under linux, so the end-of-line character is windows-like, and everytime I tried the new beta to have a test, I had to delete the .exe files and .bat files (although this is not the EOL character's fault, I still think it inconvenient) and run dos2unix.pl to convert everything here.

I'm looking forward to it.

I have a terrible network here and it's not easy for me to access the forum. So maybe I'll check my thread some time later.

Best wishes to all you guys.

I can also confirm this. I wanted to use the new asdoc and had to resave the files with LF instead of CRLF line endings for it to work on OSX.

Hmm, they used to have the correct line endings and I haven't heard of folks having this problem recently. Can anyone else confirm? Are you talking about the download of the zip, or maybe when you check out from subversion?

Hi Matt,

Thank you for paying attention. I use wget to download the Open Source
Flex SDK under
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4

I'm using Gentoo, and I don't have any friends who's interested in
making flash with code so I can't get any others' experiences.

In summary, I use wget to down the zip and tar it, and without
dos2unix, my shell complains about the scripts. To make them work, I
do those things:
rm *.exe && rm *.bat
dos2unix *
chmod 755 *

OK, I'll ask QA to take a look and make sure the line endings are correct when we create the zip. Tom, you out there? Have you noticed this breaking on us?

Matt
