Unfortunately, gradle detects Cygwin and modifies JAVA_HOME environment variable preventing using it without cygpath later on. https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2673 So this will break building from Cygwin. Vadim On 29.10.2014 20:59, Scott Palmer wrote: If cygpath isn't needed and that's

Hi Scott, It would be fine if developers were able to build (at least everything but native media and webkit) without needing Cygwin -- as long as still builds *with* Cygwin. Our official build environment -- meaning the one that we use for build our production builds -- uses Cygwin on Windows

If cygpath isn't needed and that's all cygwin was used for, and you already modified build.gradle to avoid the cygpath calls What's stopping you for checking that in so the cygwin requirement for OpenJFX can be dropped? The Gradle C/C++ support includes a method for creating a VS project from

At least for the OpenJFX without media/webkit Cygwin is used only for path manipulation (cygpath) so I don't think dropping it will boost performance at all. In fact, I just did a quick test and built OpenJFX without cygwin at all (modifying build.gradle so it will not call cygpath). Visual St

Jettisoning the MS tools would be a bad idea. The Visual Studio compiler or the Intel compiler are really the only reasonable options for building native code on Windows. I'm not aware of any professional programmer that uses GCC on Windows... Not because GCC is bad, the Windows ports just aren

Hi Richard, Did you follow the instructions at this link: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Using+an+IDE ? You are picking up a set of shared libraries that do not match the java code you are running in the IDE. You need to set java.library.path. It's on the wiki and I meant to
