Build flex library using mxmlc

Question

I want to build a flex library project directly through the mxmlc compiler. My library has one .as file and it is under a package call com.test

package com.test { public class Main {  public function Main(){...

I run the following command on the cmd

D:\4.11.0\bin\mxmlc D:\TestLibrary\src\com\test\Main.as

But it gives me the following error

Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'com.test'

If I remove the package definition from the script as follows, it works.

package { public class Main { ...

My question is why this happen and how to fix it?

You need to additionally tell the compiler the root of your sources:

mxmlc D:\TestLibrary\src\com\test\Main.as -source-path D:\TestLibrary\src\

by providing the "source-path" property you are telling the compiler where the root is and releative from that it now should know that com.test.Main is the relative path to your class.

Thanks, It works now. I want to build a swc of the library project, but this command makes a swf file. How can I make a swc file? – ANJ Sep 23 '14 at 07:47
Well mxmlc is for compiling swfs, if you want to compile a swc, use compc instead (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7ad5.html) – Christofer Dutz Sep 23 '14 at 08:22

Thanks Charisofer, Finally I could build the library project and make the swc file. This is the command I used. Hope it will help for others.

D:\4.11.0\bin\compc -source-path D:\TestLibrary\src -include-sources D:\TestLibrary\src\com\test\Main.as -debug=false -output D:\Auto_Release\main.swc

To build swf, need to use mxmlc

To build swc need to use compc
