Build instructions

  1. Create a directory for source, build, etc., e.g.

    mkdir ~/flexsdk

  2. Checkout Adobe Flex SDK source from svn, e.g.

    cd ~/flexsdk
    svn checkout http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/branches/3.x

  3. It can be useful at this point to copy the (large!) svn checkout in case you want to rollback to a pristine checkout without messing about with svn commands, i.e.

    tar cvfz 3.x.pristine.tar.gz 3.x

  4. Make sure you have required openjdk and ant packages on your system:

    sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel ant ant-nodeps

  5. The adobe build documentation suggests you should have three environment variables properly set: JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, and PATH. On a stock f10 install with the packages installed and the svn checkout as done in the previous steps, only JAVA_HOME and PATH need to be defined and can be set thus:

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64
    export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:~/flexsdk/3.x/bin:$PATH

    although you should double check that this is a reasonable definition for JAVA_HOME by checking the output of 'ls -l /etc/alternatives/java'

  6. At this point, you should be able to build everything from adobe (including stuff that is currently license-encumbered, FIXME) by doing

    cd ~/flexsdk/3.x
    ant

No proper upstream source tarball!

Forked JARs

Notes for proper RPMization of Flex SDK

To define, proper RPM passes Fedora Review http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines and esp. in this case http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java

It must be buildable from source and not include any pre-built binaries, reuse JARs available as Fedora RPMs and not include own, patched, copies of JARs.

Quick intro to SDK structure: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/SDK+Organization

TODO lookup relevant adobe jiras, should be fixed in >= 3.2 ZIPs

TODO verify latest 3.3 ZIP and svn branch
