I'm very glad to hear this... I'll try extracting from the MacOSX tar file on Linux soon and report back my findings.

There are parts of the SDK that embed pixel bender executables. According to Apache rules, a release must be all source, so the build script requires that you compile the pixel bender sources into their executables. Adobe does not have pixel bender compilers for Linux. > this absolutely makes no sense to me. > Supporting OSX can't possibly be all that different than suppoting > Linux, which leads me to belive that the reason is more political than > technical... > boo this really turns me off to the project! It is a legal technicality. We should look into making the pixel bender stuff optional somehow. In theory, you should be able to manually install and setup one of the binary distributions on Linux. However, none of the active committers are using Linux as far as I can tell. I would love to have someone who is a regular Linux user help us test the release candidates on Linux and help with documentation or even contribute to the installer.
