F4l on Arch
Does anyone use f4l on Arch? Im trying to install it, but I cannot succeed in the last step. Im following the steps described in Flash For Linux website:
qmake -project
qmake -o Makefile f4l.pro
make
And everything seems to be working, but I do not get the "f4l" file, which lunches the program. Am I missing something here?

Re: F4l on Arch
Well. I dont know. I downloaded following Aur from Arch. So I supposed it was working. If that is the case what are other possible options to replace Flash Macromedia?

gnash is an open source flash player that could be a replacement

Agreed.
Most things for Flash development have an open source option. I don't think that a "drop in replacement" exists though. If you lay out the options of what you need to do, I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Re: F4l on Arch
You can use any animation program, then convert to flv/swf. Maybe something like Synfig will help (vector animation), but currently it is broken in AUR.
Hey wait, it appears that none of us replied to your main issue and derailed 
First of all, any kind of make only "builds" files. Normally, for installation, there would be "make install" which is a set of commands to place files into places defined by you (with something like make PREFIX=/somewhere install or DESTDIR=/somewhere) or it uses default paths. If not, you have to locate the needed files yourself and place them yourselves/use them from within the directory. Locate a /bin folder and that's where the executable(s) would be.
I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

Re: F4l on Arch
That is the problem. I could not find the usual file f4l in the /bin folder that normally launches the application. But, thanks for the ideas. I am searching for a program that would allow me to create and play .swf files. I will have a look at this Synfig.
