” Update to the above: hard links in build.properties to STD_LIB, STD8_LIB, MTASC_BIN and SWFMILL_BIN let ant complete in 23 seconds. ”

What should these hardlinks be in build.properties?

I managed to get 2.0.1 to compile successfully following these instructions but couldn’t get the latest working (now 2.2.4)

stopping at line 65.

Thank you! exactly what I needed as a newbie to Unix, ant, swfmill, etc. this is just the kind of walk-through I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks for putting these down!

It looks like the directory layout has changed a little since these directions were written. I downloaded the mtasc and swfmill from the links you provided, placed them in the directories, and ant chokes on line 65 of build.xml.

Editing the build.properties list to hard link to the binary files gets me a little further along. Now it chokes at line 68 — I guess it can’t find the classpath.

I don’t really consider myself a developer, but I understand enough to annoy actual developers.
