Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I’m following both wiki pages on building the tip and the 8u versions. For this tag (8.0-b132), I get the following error with Gradle 4, so I downgraded to 1.8. > java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration I pulled the version 14.15.26706 from here. It’s the only subfolder on my system.

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 <mailto:c...@bekwam.com> > wrote: Hi, I'm trying to build 8.0-b132 for Windows with Visual Studio 2017.

In that case, I got a "WINSDK_DIR" not defined error. Does anyone build openjfx 8 with 2017 or is everyone using the older VS for the backports? DirectX gave me an error when I tried to install the 2010 SDK. Are the DirectX APIs embedded in VS now? Thanks, Carl
