Hi again !
Well I was able to track down the source of the error I am receiving
from the gradle build. Unfortunately, the error persists, which is a
bit of a mystery. Maybe a gradle maven can enlighten me here.
For some reason, this line on line 90-91 of win.gradle is throwing the
exception, although I can prove it ought not to:
if (WINDOWS_SDK_DIR == null || WINDOWS_SDK_DIR == "") {
throw new GradleException("FAIL: WINSDK_DIR not defined");
I cannot get past this, the exception is triggered, and yet the
assignment of a value to property WINDOWS_SDK_DIR is quite clear here
(line of 69 win.gradle):
defineProperty("WINDOWS_SDK_DIR", properties, System.getenv().get("WINSDK_DIR"))
and that system variable is, in fact, set as proved by (my) running
this simple program I wrote (which exists in the same directory as
win.gradle to exclude any conceivable path issues) and getting the
proper outputpublic class WinSDK {
public WinSDK() {
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String sdk = (String)System.getenv().get("WINSDK_DIR");
System.out.println("sdk = " + sdk);
}
}
Output as expected- the proper path to Microsoft SDK and anyways
certainly not the empty string or null.
Sorry to ask such a basic question but is anyone on this list actually
able to clone then compile OpenFX from source using the procedure
outlined on the below mentioned page using any of the gradle scripts,
(in my instance gradle.win) ?
Seems like first -step level stuff that is done regularly by everyone
on the list interested in improving or exploring OpenFX but maybe I am
wrong about this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi All,
New member to this group. I am encountering a little trouble when I
try to build OpenJFX. I am following the instructions here: (using
Cygwin on Win 7):
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX
When I run gradle after cloning the OpenJFX repository, I get a
"build
failed with exception" . I include the output from the entire run
just
in case it's significant:

I should add that even though the tutorial doesn't mention to do it,
I
cd-ed into the folder named rt, which was created by Mercurial when I
cloned OpenJFX, I called gradle from there. Calling it from the
directory containing rt resulted in nothing happening , which makes
sense afaik.
the variable WINSDK is not one I am familiar with- it's not any
environment or system variable on my machine and the tutorial doesn't
say anything about it. I hesitate to start arbitrarily hacking build
files based on error messages. It seems as though it ought to just
work
and perhaps this is a bug I should report or is it something else ?
Thank you!
