If all you want to do is build a project that uses Apache Flex, then you
can use the binary distribution of the Apache Flex SDK :
http://flex.apache.org/download-binaries.html
and the ant (a Java based tool) install method :
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Installation+help#Installationhelp-Ant-basedinstaller
which does not need the AIR based installer. No need to be an ant guru !
This will get you a functioning Apache Flex SDK on Linux.
It would be interesting to see how you get on with Scratch.

Hi,
I am new to the mailing list. I have read in the archives that there was
some effort to imporove support for linux. I know that the main mark on
using flex-sdk on linux is that it depends on Adobe Air which has not
been supported for linux since version 2.6. The following thread makes
it seem like there isn't a direct dependency on Adobe Air and there was
talk about how to remove the dependency:
http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Flex-SDK-on-Linux-tc881.html#none
My ultimate goal is to build MIT scratch 2.0 for linux which depends on
flex. My preference is to build this all from source because I am trying
to write an ebuild for the gentoo linux distribution for scratch 2.0 and
dependencies.
I should note that I have never used ant. I am not a java developer, but
I am capable of learning what I need to know.
Thank you for your time in advance.
Sincerely,
Trevor Wilson
