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 :D

Thanks picpak

Worked flawlessly.

Appreciated it.

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.

[telmo]

WOW!!! I've been looking everywhere for this? And now i can simply use it! OMG!!! I can't believe it!...

You rock! ;)

[telmo]

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

[nevernamed]

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?

[elmagique]

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

here is a tutorial (http://blog.publicidadpixelada.com/how-to-dreamweaver-and-flash-8-running-on-ubuntu-dapper/)


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

[nevernamed]

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

[zeroprezens]

it says it installed for me and everything but when i try to run from terminal it says this:

nick@nick-desktop:~$ f4lm
f4lm: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

help please? i followed commands exactly so i dont think i did something wrong..

[stkrzysiak]

I have the same error:

f4lm: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


anyone have any thoughts on this? is f4l the only solution to edit flash videos on linux(aside from messing with a wine type install)?

[stkrzysiak]

it says it installed for me and everything but when i try to run from terminal it says this:

nick@nick-desktop:~$ f4lm
f4lm: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

zero, the solution for me was to install that version of libstdc++

Try this at the command prompt:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

I'm running Hardy 32bit. The easiest thing for me was to download a f4l Fedora i386 rpm and convert it to deb. Just double click and install. type f4l from terminal or create a link. I have uploaded the deb file here....

hope this helps!

[nevernamed]

Dead thread. Thanks for the post though.

I'm sure it'll help people in the future.

[CobaltSS]

Ya, that's pretty much why I posted it because I kept getting directed to this thread when I was recently having the same problem. So this definately should help someone in the future.

[pfennig59]

Yes, thanks, guys, it helped us today. :P

@stkrzysiak (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=475882)

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

this saved the day

I really hope somebody will grab the source code of F4L and continue the development of F4L. It's not in a bad condition and I'm sure this can be a nice alternative for Adobe Flash :)
Also, the language isn't too difficult since it is written in C++.

[dannymichel]

updated tutorial for jaunty x64?

[brunoaco]

the older version worked great for jaunty, but f4l is in version 0.2.1

i see no deb....


can you tell me how to install this new version?

thx

[brunoaco]

good news guys:

if you really want to develop using flash, the best solution i found is wine-doors (http://wddb.wine-doors.org/downloads) wich works as a repository and has macromedia flash 8 ready to install...

let me tell you, it works flawlessly
:cool:

[pvhnl]

I read the tutorial at page 1

The last setting:

quote"
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
I do not understand.

In what file I do have to put the code above?

My problem:

I can start f4l but ubuntu(9.04) is showing me the terminal-window containing the following:
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty

after a second f4l is starting up.

After creating some text and boxes for testing I want tot export to flash.
using éxport movie'and ṕublish' in the File-menu is not givving any reaction?

Please can you help me?

[amine.hch]

try :

http://zvonsully.home.ro/Downloads/App/ … 3_i386.deb
to create a lancer :

type : app
commande :/usr/local/bin/f4lm

[picpak]

Since that link doesn't work, try

http://zvonsully.home.ro/Downloads/App/f4l_0.2BETA-3_i386.deb

or you can use macromedia flash 8 (windows application) but you must install first wine

This is missing to install in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5

just download, install, and the package f4l will work perfectly!

Thanks for this entry!

For folks who are trying to follow these posts as instructions.

In order install libstdc++5, I had to add this software source to my repositories:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main

[hansdevr]

....anyone care to update on the install of F4L on Kubuntu 11.04?

The .deb package was not working and the original instructions (by the developer) suck...
