HOWTO: Install F4L

[picpak]

I kind of stumbled onto this by accident...

Open up a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

Then run:

wget http://www.sonsuzdongu.com/paketler/f4lm_0.1-1_i386.deb

and then type:

sudo dpkg -i f4lm_0.1-1_i386.deb

To run, type

f4lm

If you want to make a shortcut:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/f4lm.desktop

Put in the new file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=F4L
GenericName=Flash for Linux
Comment=Make Flash movies in Linux
Exec=f4lm
Terminal=false
MultipleArgs=true
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network

Enjoy

What is it?? is it just like macromedia's flash player? does it make flash animations?

EDIT - nevermind, found out myself.. but is it a port of flash or something? or written from scratch.. the UI looks just like marcomedia's flash.

Nop! Sorry... Actually, it stinks! It's like a fake version of Macromedia Flash, but it doesn't work at all...

it worked nicely for me before, but then I upgraded to 6.10 and lost the install of f4l. Now when I try it it says:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-runtime.c: 77: _dl_fixup: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 7' failed!

How can I fix this?

another thing you can do is just install the origional macromedia flash

here is a tutorial


i found it when i was looking for F4L and it's better i think

this version doesn't export to swf i've heard

I've tried the wine installs before and they haven't really run the exe's properly that I've downloaded from the adobe website.
I also tried a reinstall of the software, but I still get the same error as before.
If anybody knows anything about the f4l problem could you please let me know?

Thanks.

The way to install real flash is anoying and expensive, why not figure out why this versino does not work. i mean its clear that at some point in time i did there must just be something different about our systems that causes this to fail
