Today i managed to get the flex builder alpha running on the eee.One of the challenges i came up against was the small size of my /tmp partition / directory. I guess the default eee setup is to have that set to 128mb. I think the flex install files when extracted are around 160mb. And they really don’t like to go anywhere else. What i did was, i installed eclipse in the normal fashion to my 4gb SD card. Then i tried to install the flex builder plugins. That did not go to well. It looked like it could use whatever directory was set in the HOME env var, when the tmp guy got filled to the brim. But, that really didn’t work. So, i put my SD card in my other debian computer and ran the installer. After that finished. I put the SD back in the eee. When i ran eclipse things were working except that i had to set the path to the flex sdk in the preferences. Also, I had to re run the flash installer again.
which i ran thusly:
sudo ./fp_installer.sh ./ | less
i think the path for the sdk was in the “preferences” menu.
