Can not compile flexspin in Linux.

frank freedman

Trying to compile flexspin in linux gets the following:

[frank@loki flexprop-5.2.0]$ make
which: no openspin in (/home/frank/.local/bin:/home/frank/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin)

Usage:
make install
make zip SIGN=signscript

make install copies flexprop to the INSTALL directory (default is /home/frank/flexprop)
for example to install in /opt/flexprop do:
make install INSTALL=/opt/flexprop

make zip creates a flexprop.zip for Windows
This requires cross tools and is probably not what you want

Note that the P1 version of flexprop depends on openspin being installed; if it is not,
then only P2 support is enabled

Can not find the openspin in the source, and no directory /home/username/flexprop is created.

1. Fetch openspin from here: https://developer.parallax.com/openspin/
2. either the source code and compile it yourself or one of David's build (mention later on the page)
3. place it somewhere in your path

Edit: in my opinion openspin is a very nice tool which does not get the attention it deserved (perfect for spin development on non-windows platform)

@"frank freedman" : flexprop only needs openspin for P1 support (the P1 loader has a weird build process that only works with openspin, not flexspin). If you only care about the P2 then "make install" should work fine. I just tried it on an Ubuntu machine with no openspin installed and it was happy to build and create /home/username/flexprop. Did something go wrong when you tried it?
