Hi Anthony
Thanks a lot your continuous help provided for JDK 1.8 compilation.
The following are the challenges we have to use JFX on our Application
supported platforms
1. Our application needs to be supported on RHEL 5.x ( This can’t be
ruled out )
* JavaFX on RHEL 5.x depends on gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386.rpm which
in-turn depends on the following libraries
atk >= 1.13.0-1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
glib2 >= 2.23.4-1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
libXcomposite.so.1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
libXrandr >= 1.2.2-1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
libgio-2.0.so.0 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
libjasper.so.1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
pango >= 1.27.1-1 is needed by gtk2-2.18.3-21.17.i386
* One of the above mentioned native libraries needs *libc.so*
upgrading to the higher version
* As *libc.so* is tightly tied with many of the Linux applications, we
can’t suggest/recommend to upgrade */libc.so/* in the customer machine
2. We are limited to use OpenJFX on OpenJDK for our application. We are
not able to successfully compile (so far ) Open JFX on OpenJDK 1.8
on Windows (Note:- This is the first OS platform attempted )
3. OpenJDK certification does not claim RHEL ( despite you have clearly
told me that this will work equally well in RHEL ), we are little
skeptical on the behavior as nobody knowingly used so far.
4. As we limited to use Open Source (and also Open JFX is open source
only on Open JDK 1.8 onwards without binary distribution as of
today), we need to compile the same on all our supported platforms .
We are not through with JFX compilation (so far) on Windows
When we do POC using */Swing/* with */OpenJDK 1.7/* (binary distribution
), it went well (i.e. we did not face any issue such as RHEL 5.x native
library dependency / need to upgrade )
This is the reason why we chose Swing. However, we liked JFX over Swing
due to its richens.
I would like to thank Anthony once again for his timely & quick support
to resolve OpenJDK 1.8 build issues.
Thanks & Regards
Dhevendran K

Subject: Supported platforms for FX [WAS: Re: OpenJFX 1.8 build issues]
Hi Dhevendran,
decided to use Java Swing as JXF is not supported/certified in Redhat
5.x
Swing is equally not certified for Redhat 5.x. Please refer to
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/sysreq.xml
(requirements for 8 might slightly change, but no major changes are
expected).
As I've already said previously, there's no reasons for Swing or FX to
not work on any other Linux distribution. If you ultimately require a
certified support, you just have to use Oracle Linux *only* - no matter
if you choose to use Swing or FX.
So I don't really understand your decision. Both Swing and FX are
absolutely equal wrt. officially supported platforms list, and they are
also absolutely equal wrt. where they should just work, even if the
platforms aren't certified officially.

Hi Mani
This particular issue is resolved ( After compiling FREETYPE2 libraries
). Thanks for your help. Now, we have new issues.
Now, we have decided to use Java Swing as JXF is not supported/certified
in Redhat 5.x

Hi Dhevendran,
Thanks for sending me the log files. DId you get a chance to look at our
build instructions on the java.net <http://java.net> wiki (pls do
confirm in your return mail):
Get Source (Windows):
https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/GetSource#MS_Windows
Build:https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/Build
The FreeType2 aspect of the installation instructions are to be found here:
https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/BuildWindows#Download_the_Freetype2_project
I'm writing to you after looking at the log files - not in great detail
but just the key points around freetype2.
I also found another link that points to the same problem as yourself:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-February/005608.html
Have you also find out the value in the variable FREETYPE2_LIB_PATH as
mentioned by David and Erik from the OpenJDK mailing list?
Let me know if you have already managed to resolve this issue?
Cheers,
mani

Hi Dhevendran,
Have a look at the steps we outlined for building the OpenJDK on
Windows, as you go through them you will see there are sections for the
Windows OS for each of the sub-steps.
https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/AdoptOpenJDKBuildInstructions#Manual
<https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/AdoptOpenJDKBuildInstructions>
The steps we have outlined download the sources automatically via a
shell script rather than the manual downloads you have attempted to do
(I hope I got that right). It would be great to know if you can
integrate your experience with the instructions on the above link.
Please give these instructions a swirl and get back to us. If you find
solutions to issues, we would love to bring that back into the wiki.
Cheers,
mani

Hi Dhevendran,
In the AdoptOpenJDK project (https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/) we
have build instructions for Windows.
One of our community, Mani Sarkar, compared your build instructions with
ours & noticed some problems.
I've copied Mani - he can explain further if you're still having problems.
Thanks,
Ben
