Adobe AIR

vertimyst · 2008-11-23 03:27:29

Could someone please make a package for the latest version of Adobe AIR (1.1 beta)?

There's already a package in the AUR maintained by Spider.007 but it's out of date (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16940), and that version can't run the app I want to use (TweetDeck: http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/).

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Have you contacted Spider.007? I see that the package has been marked out of date, but have you actually attempted to contact the maintainer through email?

Hmm, no. I suppose I should. I never think of these things.

Update: Sent him an email, hopefully I'll get a reply soonish. I'll update here if/when I do.

Update: I got a reply:

Hi there,
It's not that I am not willing to update it, the problem is that the linux package has undergone a major rewrite on Adobe's side, requiring me to completely rewrite the package as well.
I'll see if I can update the package when I have some spare time, but I don't know when that'll be.

So yea. I'm planning to try and use Kubuntu for now until I get around to switching completely to Arch (I'm dual-booting with WinXP right now). I might do that when/if I get a new PC before I head off to college in a year or two.

Note that when I say this I'm not completely abandoning Arch - Kubuntu was the first distro I used, but Arch is my favorite. Usually whenever I go back to Kubuntu I end up reinstalling with Arch a few months later.

Edit: LOL, make that a day later. I've reinstalled Arch. I just can't go back to Kubuntu now that've tasted it.

Well, you can get it to work with the SDK...Just follow this and it works great:

Awesome, thanks. The package in the AUR's been updated, so I have that installed, but I couldn't figure out how to run the applications. I'm running in Windows atm (yes, I know, shame on me - it's just until I can get stuff working in Arch the way I want), so when I boot back into Arch I'll give that a try.

Thanks again!

I tried installing from AUR but it seems really buggy... I got the following error:

==> Building and installing package
==> ERROR: lib32-glibc is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their ./PKGBUILD
such as arch=('i686').
Error: Makepkg was unable to build lib32-glibc package.

If your system is i686, you need to install adobe-air (not bin32-adobe-air)

I've installed adobe-air-beta, but have no idea how do I execute an .air file. Can anyone tell me what's the command for this? (like "java -jar application.jar" for java, for example).
