Hi Carl, The instructions for building OpenJFX 8 are in the wiki [1], though I never built this version myself.
Usually when "cl.exe" is not found it's because of a wrong MSVC_VER variable value. In VS 2017, this file is located under "VC\Tools\MSVC\<MSVC_VER>\bin" (there are 4 versions under this folder tree). It could be that the MSVC_VER value does not match the folder name in this path. I don't know why you're looking for it inside cygwin64, but, again, I am unfamiliar with this build. Also, the Gradle version needs to be 4.8, not 1.8. Good luck, Nir [1] https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40271889 On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 8:05 PM <c...@bekwam.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to build 8.0-b132 for Windows with Visual Studio 2017.
