I hope the few people building from sources would try with actual instructions and if they have problems come to the list and try to solve it with our help, so we can improve scripts and build process learning from that kind of experiences. El lun., 23 sept. 2019 a las 14:05, Andrew Wetmore ()

Yes: the PERFECT would be clear and simple instructions that work and do not scare people away. We do not seem to have those. I thought the discussion was whether to go forward with the release anyhow, since the number of users who build from source is smaller than the number who use the compiled

Hi Andrew, ok I understand. IMHO, instructions should be as easy as possible. People that see steps depending on things that are not clear will be mostly lost and with high probability of never come back. Royale SDK is a complex technology with many pieces involved, we should make the install

Oops: edited my proposed text and did not check it afterwards. What I meant was this for the release page for 0.9.6:: "The current version of Apache Royale is 0.9.6, released in MONTH YEAR. It is beta-quality. This means that Royale may not work entirely as you or we want it to, and that certain

The question is whether we release 0.9.6 when the instructions for compiling from source are incomplete and/or inaccurate. For 0.9.4 the page says "The current version of *Apache Royale* is *0.9.4*, released in *Diciembre, 2018*. It is *beta-quality*. This means that Royale may not work entirely

The only place to include it without altering the release artifacts is in the RELEASE_NOTES addendum in our wiki. We could do that, but folks probably won't look there until after they have a problem. -Alex On 9/21/19, 4:44 AM, "Andrew Wetmore" wrote: Would it be acceptable to include

Would it be acceptable to include some sort of explanation that compiling from source will require setting a number of environment variables, not just ANT_HOME, and that, if you really want to compile 0.9.6 from source, you should contact [LIST EMAIL] for instructions on what to do? It sort of

I think we all want to get a release out. My user experience was the equivalent of taking the source package and trying to build it without setting any environment variables other than ANT_HOME as specified in the README. It did not work for me. The question is: how many of our users are

Don't know. Judgement call. We've done a bunch of work since 0.9.4 to allow folks to be able to compile without the Adobe Flash and AIR SDKs. I've run into a couple of problems. ASDoc's JSON generator was failing if you didn't have Flash SDK. I mentioned it in the RC1 discuss thread. I
