Thanks for the feedback...I'll note it.
As for the build failure, did you install Visual Studio 2017 and set the
two env variables (VS150COMNTOOLS and MSVC_VER) to point to it? If so,
then it should determine WINSDK_DIR without anything else needed.

Thanks Kevin,
I'm going through the process now on Win 10.
A few things to note:
- In the Platform Prerequisites/cygwin it says to make sure mercurial
package is installed. Later, under Common Prerequisites/Mercurial it
says "you can also install Mercurial as a cygwin package". It's not
clear then if it's needed or optional and if it replaces or
complements the other hg toolings.
- The link to Tortoise should be https://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io (not
.org).
- Might be trivial but I would say it's worth noting that all commands
listed there are to be ran in cygwin.
- The hg clone command probably needs to have a note added about the
destination folder.
The problems starts after navigating to the /rt directory and
executing 'gradle tasks' or `gradle projects`:
$ gradle tasks
:buildSrc:generateGrammarSource
A problem was found with the configuration of task
':buildSrc:generateGrammarSource'. Registering invalid inputs and
outputs via TaskInputs and TaskOutputs methods has been deprecated and
is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0.
- Directory 'D:\rt\buildSrc\src\main\antlr' specified for property
'$1' does not exist.

I did not install DirectX SDK. Also the output of the above commands
in the instructions page seems out of date compared to the contents of
the directory... or I messed up.
Any ideas?
I did a first pass over the build instructions on the OpenJFX Wiki
[1].
I think I cleaned up the worst of the inaccuracies, and added some
information that will make it easier to build.
I'm not the best person to see whether anything important is missing,
though. Someone less familiar with the build should look it over
and let
me know what I've missed. I won't be able to get back to this until
after the holidays and after JDK 10 RDP1 is over, but will take
another
pass at it then and incorporate the feedback.
