Good tutorial. Worked fine with FlexSDK_v4.1 But…
Binary for v3.5 seems totally incompatible with dos2unix, at least with Fedora 13×64 OS I’m using now.
Had some compile errors with v4.1 and wanted to go back to v3.5 when the code I’m working with was written. No luck, tons of theme errors so lots of find-replace to do …

I’ll keep working on getting v3.5 to work.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this article!

Now I can generate Linux versions of my application JEPUM, which is being requested in the Linux community.

I had the same problem and i resolved it with

sudo apt-get install tofrodos
sudo fromdos /opt/flex_sdk_3/bin/mxmlc

In ubuntu 10.4 use

sudo fromdos /opt/flex_sdk_3/bin/mxmlc

instead of sudo dos2unix /opt/flex_sdk_3/bin/mxmlc

Did you close all console/terminal windows before trying the command?
