I have been searching google, Apache Docs*, and FlashPunk forums looking for an answer to this: I cannot get Ant/Flex to find and compile the FlashPunk libraries.

Here is my build.xml.

[code]

<!-- Fetch the JAR full of Flex tasks if it is not already in the source directory -->
<copy file="${FLEX_HOME}/ant/lib/flexTasks.jar" todir="${SOURCE_PATH}"/>
<!-- Add flextasks to the project -->
<taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks" classpath="${SOURCE_PATH}/flexTasks.jar"></taskdef>

<!-- Release build Flash Player 10.1 -->
<target name="build">

    <!-- Build the FlashPunk library -->
<echo message="building swc..." />
<compc output="FlashPunk.swc" keep-generated-actionscript="false" 
    incremental="false" optimize="false" debug="true" use-network="false">
    <include-sources dir="${FLASHPUNK_PATH}/net" 
        includes="**/* flashpunk/utils/* flashpunk/masks/*" 
        excludes="**/*.TTF **/*.png"/>
        <load-config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>      
    </compc>

    <echo message="building swf..." />

<mxmlc
file="${SOURCE_PATH}/epOne.as" 
output="${OUTPUT_PATH}/epOne.swf"
debug="false" 
incremental="false"
strict="true"
accessible="false"
link-report="link_report.xml"
static-link-runtime-shared-libraries="true">

        <optimize>true</optimize>

    </mxmlc>
</target>

[/code]

Results in many errors of the type "Definition net.flashpunk.masks:Grid could not be found" even though when I open the directories I can see the *.AS files right there.

Sorry if this is very basic. I am piecing together knowledge of Ant from docs and tutorials.

*I decided to use Ant because neither FlashDevelop for Windows nor Eclipse for Linux seemto work for me.
