mxmlc problems

[wideeye]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with running a fresh install of mxmlc... I've had it running on a desktop machine quite happily for a couple of months with no problems - however, when I installed it on a server (windows 2003) things grind to a halt. Running a simple test (filenames changed to protect the innocent) I get:


D:\home\mywebsite\htdocs\factory>D:\tools\flexSDK\bin\mxmlc.exe D:\home\mywebsite\htdocs\factory\gj.as -output D:\home\mywebsite\htdocs\develo
pers\app\myswf.swf -default-frame-rate 24 -use-network -compiler.optimize -default-size 800 600

Loading configuration file D:\tools\flexSDK\frameworks\flex-config.xml

Error: macromedia/asc/semantics/Emitter

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: macromedia/asc/semantics/Emitter

This is on a server with:
Java 1.6.04 JDK
Flex SDK 2.0.1

Any ideas what's going on? I'm completely stumped - a search on google produces exactly one result.

Cheers all

Doh, my bad - turns out that something on the server was keeping a file locked and the install/unzip of flex was failing without saying anything.

So... the question has changed a bit. Anyone know if mxmlc keeps locks on files if it fails? if so, anything I can do about it? :confused:
