Hi. I’ve been reported a bug to Adobe JIRA about Ant failure on spaced path.
If you interested to solve this problem. please vote for it to make Adobe consider it.

ANT Custom Builder always just fails if space character exists in FB installation path on Mac OS X. (It’s working well with space-less path.)

Great article!!!

Also the post encapsulates the entire command in quotes. Instead use:

sudo ln -s “/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/3.3.0″ “/usr/local/flex_sdk”

Jukklue, your problem is probably that you have a different Flex SDK than I did when I wrote this…

What SDKs do you have located in here – “/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/”

You may have 3.3 or something else… change the “3.2.0″ part of my instructions to whatever SDK you have.

very good tutorial
by the way, i`m quit new in programing and new user for Mac so i got some problem to follow, that is

In Terminal and type: ��sudo ln -s “/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/3.2.0/” /usr/local/flex_sdk��

the result is “No such file or directory”
should i make a blank directory named “flex_sdk” or change /usr/local/flex_sdk to any nonspace named folder

thanks in advance,
Jukklue
