Note that there is a bug filed on building webkit with debug symbols on
Windows/32 and Linux/32:
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-36147
If you have a 64-bit Linux system, then it should work.

Hi Again,
The idea that comes to my mind is the following: would it be possible
to cross-compile the openjfx on the 64 bit Linux using 64 bit tools,
but targeted at 32 bit Linux? What would have to be changed in build
environment to accomplish that? I imagine the environment would have
to have access to headers and development libraries of the 32 bit
Linux system - that's no problem - I would just mount the root of a
32 bit Ubuntu to some directory, but then I would have to force all
tools to use that path instead of the running system one. And the gcc
would have to be given some cross-compiling options too, I guess...
In theory this is easy :-)
We already have a cross compile mechanism in gradle, used for the
Linux arm and Android builds. (see buildSrc/armv* for example).
You would start with one of the build files as a template -
linux.gradle, sed/copy it to linux32.gradle with something like:
cd buildSrc
sed -s 's/LINUX/LINUX32/' linux.gradle > linux32.gradle
After that, it would be a matter of tweaking the cc and ld flags
contained in the file, to tell gcc to be 32bit and to use the right
libraries. Looks like adding -m32 to commonFlags is all it should need:
// A set of common parameters to use for both compiling and linking
def commonFlags = [
"-m32", // <<<<< 32 bit output
"-fno-strict-aliasing", "-fPIC", "-fno-omit-frame-pointer", //
optimization flags
"-W", "-Wall", "-Wno-unused", "-Wno-parentheses",
"-Werror=implicit-function-declaration"] // warning flags
and tweak where the libraries are installed:
// Libraries end up in the sdk/rt/lib/$OS_ARCH directory for Linux
LINUX32.libDest = "lib/i386"
LINUX32.arch = "i386" # << this is an addition not needed in
linux.gradle
You specify the crossbuild like this:
gradle -PUSE_DEPEND=false -PBUILD_NATIVES=true
-PCOMPILE_TARGETS=linux32
But...
looks like we need to disable
LINUX32.compileFXPackager = false;
because build.gradle has some stuff hardcoded in it (would need a jira
for that if people care).
And - you need the i386 development packages installed. I had already
added this to get my cross compilers to work,
apt-get install libstdc++6:i386
but needed to add other to get more of the build to complete and ran
into apt-get telling me all my i386 deps were broken. Perhaps it would
work better if I was on a newer distro (I am on 12.04)
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX
has the list of packages, in theory, you just need to add :i386 to
each one.
Since I can't get the i386 packages, at this point you are on your own
:-)

Hi,
I'm new to this list and I have searched the archives, but haven't
found a discussion about this. If I have missed it, please just
direct me to the archived thread.
I'm trying to debug a crash in a native part of WebKit-JavaFX
bindings (https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-33599). I have
only been able to reproduce it on 32 bit platforms (Windows and
Linux so far). I'm trying to build the WebKit natives with debugging
symbols, so that I can pin-point the location of the crash in code
using gdb. I have managed to do this successfully on 64 bit Linux,
producing 1.7 GB large libjfxwebkit.so. But on 32 bit Linux, where
only I can reproduce the crash, the build fails with linker error:
"memory exhausted" when trying to assemble the libjfxwebkit.so from
object files. So far I have not been successful in my attempts to
circumvent this build error. I fave tried the following:
- added '--no-keep-memory' to linker options. The man page says
about it:
ld normally optimizes for speed over memory usage by
caching the symbol tables of input files in memory. This option
tells ld to instead optimize for memory usage, by
rereading the symbol tables as necessary. This may be
required if ld runs out of memory space while linking a large
executable.
- booted the 64bit Ubuntu system and chrooted into a 32 bit
environment. Some say that with 64 bit kernel, each 32 bit
user-space process has more address space than with 32 bit kernel.
- both of the above
My question to the list is: How do you guys produce 32 bit
libjfxwebkit.so with debugging symbols? Have you been able to? Do
you have any special tricks in your sleeves?
Regards,
Peter
