Installing Adobe Air on Slackware
Is it possible to install Adobe Air on Slackware? It keeps telling me the following :(
I was trying to install it so I could install TweetPocket. Code:
Adobe AIR could not be installed because this is not a supported Linux distribution. Only RPM- and Debian-based Linux distributions are supported. |
It is for 12.2, but you may find this link helpful.

That should be about all you need. Of course the AdobeAIR stuff in only 32bit, and try attempt using it in x86_64 can require an absurd amount of library hunting, so good luck with that, but for a lot of cases using alienBob's multilib, convert seamonkey and add it to the library path of the shell script in launching your Air application. like Code:
sudo convertpkg-compat32 -i seamonkey-2.0.3-i486-1.txz Code:

any thoughts? Is this line just downloading tweetpocket? seems like alot of gibberish at the end of this command :)
Code:
root@darkstar:~# wget $( lynx -source http://www.tweetpocket.com/badge.php | grep airApplicationURL | sed -e 's/^.*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/g' ) |

I have a fairly straightforward way of doing this - check my blog entry at http://www.xstore.co.za/wordpress/?p=505. For this particular air app, download the .air file on a Win machine using firefox and transfer/unarchive on your linux box ...
I get an error when running it though: initial content not found I'll look around the tweetpocket forums. |
Ok just looks like my cmd line was wrong - this is what I'm using now:
/opt/Adobe/AIR/bin/adl -nodebug /opt/Adobe/AIR-apps/tweetpocket/META-INF/AIR/application.xml /opt/Adobe/AIR-apps/tweetpocket |

Here's hoping this helps other people. |
A lot of things have changed since 2010.

This is where you download the Adobe Air SDK (the latest version for Linux is 2.6) these days: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archiv...k-version.html I have just fixed the link in my Installing Adobe Air Apps (like Balsamiq Mockups) on Slackware64 13.37 entry. |
