Just so you are aware, the 8.0-b132 tag is for the JDK 8 GA release,
which was shipped in March 2014. That one does require gradle 1.8, and
also requires Visual Studio 2010 on Windows, since the changes to
support VS 2017 went in much later. I'm not sure why you want to build
something that old, but if you do, it might also require other changes
that aren't well documented.

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.

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

Hi,
I'm trying to build 8.0-b132 for Windows with Visual Studio 2017. I was
able to build the Java code successfully, but am getting a path error
13:00:54.444 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Caused by:

export WINSDK_DIR="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v10.0A"
I tried replacing the win.gradle from the 8.0-b132 with the file from the
tip. 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
