Do I have FlashDevelop configured wrong?


I have two machines I run FlashDevelop on, both have worked well up until recently. A couple of months ago my desktop (Win 7) stopped showing the Output window at the bottom of the screen when I did a compile and just did "Build Failed". I was busy with other things so I set that aside, now I need to figure out what's going on.

The laptop (Win 8) is running FlashDevelop 4.6.0.18. If I go to Tools-Settings I see the following:

Tools->Settings->AS3Context->Installed Flex SDKs

 Flex 4.6.0, AIR 3.9
 Flex 4.6.0, AIR 3.1
 Flex 4.6.0, AIR 15.0
 AIR 15.0

The desktop, which is running FD 4.6.4.1, shows this:

Tools->Settings->AS3Context->Installed Flex SDKs

 Flex 4.6.0, AIR 3.1
 Flex 4.6.0, AIR 15.0
 AIR 15.0

When I run a compile, I no longer get "Build Failed", but I do get this:

"Could not locate lib\mxmlc.jar or lib\mxmlc-cli.jar in Flex SDK."

Did a search for \lib\mxmlc-cli.jar and found the following:

c:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop4.5\Tools\ascsdk\lib\mxmlc-cli.jar c:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\FlashDevelop\Apps\ascsdk\15.0.0\lib\mxmlc-cli.jar

I have another copy of \lib\mxmlc-cli.jar in a slightly different directory, if I rename the directory I go back to "Build Failed".

I keep hoping this has a simple answer, but I haven't found it yet. Any clues?

Added note- I did a re-install and ran AppMan, got an error on installing Flex SDK.


Solution

  • I finally had to get rid of FlashDevelop on the Win 7 machine and then go through the whole re-installation process. That worked. Still not sure what the problem was with the old version.
