I’ve been using acompc to compile an apollo swc.  I ran the command line compiler using the syntax they specify in their official docs:

acompc -load-config myLib-config.xml -output lib/myLib.swc

Then I’d get this error:

The definition of base class Object was not found.

Yikes!

The answer is easy, but I didn’t see it because it was late and I was just kinda copying and pasting (shame on me).  You want to add a “+” sign to your -load-config command so that you don’t clobber previous configs, specially the apollo-config.xml.  So, the command should read like this:

acompc -load-config+=myLib-config.xml -output lib/myLib.swc

Ah, Adobe’s agressive release of alphas takes me back to the days of Borland Turbo C and Turbo Pascal.  And those early versions weren’t officially “alphas”.

Happy coding.

I’m proud to announce that Tom Bray and I have just launched SearchCoders/Flex, a powerful Flex based application for searching and keeping up with the Flexcoders search list. That and consulting for Stanford university has kept me away from posting, but I’ll soon be back with articles about our experiences using Flex and FDS to build the SearchCoders/Flex app.

In the meantime, have a look http://www.searchcoders.com/flex/

Happy coding!
