Hi Scott,

It would be fine if developers were able to build (at least everything but native media and webkit) without needing Cygwin -- as long as still builds *with* Cygwin. Our official build environment -- meaning the one that we use for build our production builds -- uses Cygwin on Windows platforms. We are not likely to change this.

So if someone has a robust patch that enables developers to build without needing cygwin, meaning is doesn't impact anyone using Cygwin, we could consider taking it.

As for upgrading gradle to a newer version, that is not something we would do lightly. We are unlikely in the JDK 8u time frame to move past gradle 1.8, but could consider it for JDK 9.

If cygpath isn't needed and that's all cygwin was used for, and you already
modified build.gradle to avoid the cygpath calls.... What's stopping you
for checking that in so the cygwin requirement for OpenJFX can be dropped?

The Gradle C/C++ support includes a method for creating a VS project from
the Gradle source (since Gradle 1.11, see
http://www.gradle.org/docs/1.11/release-notes#generate-visual-studio-configuration-for-a-native-binary-project).
So you should be able to get that productivity boost without having to roll
your own project files and maintain them.

At least for the OpenJFX without media/webkit Cygwin is used only for path
manipulation (cygpath) so I don't think dropping it will boost performance
at all.
In fact, I just did a quick test and built OpenJFX without cygwin at all
(modifying build.gradle so it will not call cygpath).

Visual Studio is the only viable option for Windows development.
When I was actively developing native Windows code, I created my own VS
project which can build native dlls just fine without even calling gradle
and that was huge productivity boost.

Thanks,
Vadim

+1 Visual Studio provides the best debugger and losing that would be very
sad.

If we didn’t require Cygwin the build would also be faster!

 Jettisoning the MS tools would be a bad idea. The Visual Studio compiler
or the Intel compiler are really the only reasonable options for building
native code on Windows. I'm not aware of any professional programmer that
uses GCC on Windows...  Not because GCC is bad, the Windows ports just
aren't capable of compiling against a real Windows SDK. The MinGW tools
come with their own headers to try to work around this, but the last time I
checked, it just didn't work well enough.

That said,I think the right approach in the long term is to move the
build to use Gradle's support for C and C++. It supports the MS compiler as
well as MinGW on Windows and all the popular compilers on other platforms.
If we combined that with the ability to build just the 32bit JDK when
running with the MS compiler, it would offer a decent solution for those
using free tools on Windows.

Another goal should be to remove the requirement for Cygwin as it can
cause its own set of problems. I'm not sure what it is used for that can't
be done with Gradle and/or pure java libraries directly.

Stephen,

Sorry for the mis-communication: in my original message, I was able to
do incremental java compilation, but hadn't tried to do the full build,
since hadn't made changes to any of the native code. Your reply straighted
me out, that I need to be doing full builds to pick-up changes in either
the cpp or low-level java code.  I haven't been able to get the native
builds to work, without it failing in either the cpp compiler or linker.

I still could use a hand to get working tooling.

Also, care to comment whether there's any plan to jetisson the MS tools
in the openjfx project, or at least align it with openjdk9's build system?

Thanks,

Hi Richard,

Your previous email indicated that you could build, but that you can't
see the shared libraries.

Please try adding this the VM Arguments of your Eclipse launch
configuration:

   -Djava.library.path=${workspace_loc:rt}/build/sdk/rt/bin
-Djavafx.verbose=true

Thanks,

To recap a message I sent to the list on 9/12, I'm a newbie to
JavaFX, and hoping to be able to contribute, initially fixing bugs.

Stephen, I'm attempting to follow the instructions at:
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Using+an+IDE, and have
found that the Visual Studio tools it calls out don't include the amd64
tools, have struggled to adapt win.gradle to VS 2011, and otherwise dulled
my pick.   Also, when comparing the above instructions to openjdk9's build
setup, I'm also wondering whether someone's revised the openjfx win build
to use gcc, MinGW, Code::Blocks, clang++, or any other toolset besides the
MS crud.

Rather than dragging y'all through the blow-by-blow challenges I've
been getting hit with, what I'm hoping is that one of you who's actively
developing on a 64-bit Windows 7+ environment is willing to lend a hand to
get me set-up with a working rig. Please reply to just me if you're willing
to help, I think I just need a few minutes here and there to pick the right
tools, verify I'm working against the correct repo, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Richard,

Did you follow the instructions at this link:
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Using+an+IDE ?

You are picking up a set of shared libraries that do not match the
java code you are running in the IDE.  You need to set java.library.path.
It's on the wiki and I meant to update it to be something sensible.  My
build puts the dll's in an artifacts directory:

-Djava.library.path=${workspace_loc:rt}/../artifacts/sdk/rt/bin

You will need to edit this expression to pick up the dll's from the
standard build place (which I forget right now).

To that end, I've been trying to get 8u-dev eclipse projects setup
on a Win7 box so I can start stepping through the code. The current
show-stopper is getting UnsatisfiedLinkErrors when the system is trying to
access dlls, such as glass.dll.

My rig:

* jdk1.8.0_05
* eclipse-SDK-N20140722-2000-win32-x86_64 (Mars stable build, has
fix
  for StackOverflow bug in eclipse j8 compiler)
* hg clone of 8u-dev as of 8/26

Setup:

* ran the gradle build (successfully)
* imported the eclipse projects in the repo, all cleanly compile
(but
  had to fix cross-project links and manually locate and attach 3p
libs)
* removed javafx.* and related JavaFX sources from JAVA_HOME/src
* moved jfxrt.jar to a cache directory

Failure situation:

* attempting to launch jfx apps under eclipse debugger

The following console output is typical of what I'm running into

Exception running application net.ess.newTools.HtmlEditor
[Dynamic-linking native method java.lang.Shutdown.halt0 ... JNI]

On the assumption that the VM is failing to load some dll, I've
tried numerous means for letting eclipse know the load library path,
including

* passing "-Djava.library.path=" on the VM's command-line using ,
  pointing to the JDK's bin dir, and the JavaFX2.1 install's bin dir
  (where all dlls appear to live)
* setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment var to both of the above
dirs
* adding both of the above dirs to PATH
* cloning all dlls to the directory containing the
  javafx.application.Application.class file

to no avail, I seem to be shooting in the dark (i.e. don't know
enough what I'm doing).

I'd appreciate any advice any of you can provide to help me get
unstuck.

Thanks,

-rjs
