The OS/X needs some love as well, the project does not even open in latest XCode versions.

Having an OS/X tools chain/boxes would also we great.

Hi,
  I setup cygwin64 on windows 10. Thanks to your tips I update to i686* tools 
chain.
  I add to static link libgcc, libstdc++ and also add -static lpthread to get 
it works.
Artefact are huge now but I was able test some code to check for jdk9 compatibility.

  The remaining issue are:
  how  to generate the platform-launcher-9.0beta.zip and launcher.zip,
  how to populate the external binaries repository with those artefact

Objet : Re: launcher for windows and building c file

Hi Eric,

These are excellent issues to unearth.
I like the idea of creating a setup to build the executable.

Here at work, we don't build the launcher too often.
We keep a zip of C:\cygwin from a set of cygwin files that worked to build the 
launcher.
I notice that my NetBeans is set up to
use C:\cygwin\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
when building from the IDE.

You were asking if someone had a working setup. Would more information and/or 
files about this process help you personally?

Kind Regards,
Johnny

Hi,

   I was trying to launch Apache Netbeans 9.0 beta on a windows 10 box
with only jdk9 installed.

   Executable is failing to retrieve a 1.8 or higher java because of
important registry changes in jdk9 and also version scheme change [2].



   I try to follow the wiki page [1] but the required old compiler are
gone in cygwin. I also give a try to  mingw32 toolchain. No luck :/



Question 1:

Did someone have a working setup for building this ?



Question 2:

Would it be an option to move the windows  “c++” code to another git
repository ? Setup a Jenkins or buildbot at Apache to build the
executable in a consistent way.



Best Regards

Eric
