Hi,
I'm also trying to build OpenJFX on Windows 10 so I can add a Windows
build to my community OpenJFX build server at https://chriswhocodes.com
and am hitting the same problems as you.
Setting WINSDK_DIR on the command line using 'set' or 'export' doesn't
work and neither does setting via the Windows environment manager UI.
Hardcoding got me past this one:
def WINDOWS_SDK_DIR="..." above the check.
Next error I'm hitting is NativeCompileTask.compile()
This is with Windows 10, VS10 Express, WinSDK 7.1, and DirectX June 2010.
buildSrc/win.gradle has hardcoded paths to VS2017 Professional so I'm
guessing the devs who wrote this build script have got it working on a
more modern build environment than the one described in the docs.
Will post here if I can get it to build.
Cheers,
Chris
