The above command assumes that you have a class test.HelloButton and that your OpenJFX directory is /Users/someone/open-jfx. If you have multiple versions of java installed on your machine, make sure you use the java that matches jfxrt.jar.

Setting Up Your System For Native Compilation

Configuring your system to be able to build native code is a bit of a black art. Hopefully we will have captured here steps that are both correct and comprehensive, but it has been our experience that lots of little things don't get documented than could trip you up (especially on Windows).

Linux Configuration

Setting up a linux build configuration is fairly straightforward. These build instructions were used for the "official" build platform of Ubuntu 10.04, but also on the latest Ubuntu 12.10. First, run the following command to install all the required development packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bison flex gperf libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev \
    libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libjpeg-dev \
    libpng-dev libx11-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libxt-dev \
    libxxf86vm-dev pkg-config qt4-qmake x11proto-core-dev \
    x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev libavcodec-dev mercurial libgtk2.0-dev \
    ksh libxtst-dev libudev-dev

Mac Configuration

To configure your Mac, make sure you have at least version 10.7 installed. Install the latest version of Xcode. Install the latest JDK 8 build. At present that should be sufficient, but when WebKit is open sourced you will also need to install QT (because WebKit uses QTMake and some other such tools).

Windows Configuration

You need to have the following tools installed:

• Cygwin. Some packages to make sure are installed are:
  
  • openssh
  • bison
  • flex
  • g++
  • gperf
  • make
  • makedepend
  • perl
  • zip
  • unzip
• DirectX SDK June 2010. Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) headers are required for building the JavaFX SDK. This DirectX SDK can be downloaded from Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010). If the link above becomes obsolete, the SDK can be found from the Microsoft Download Site (search with "DirectX SDK June 2010"). The location of this SDK will normally be set with the environment variable DXSDK_DIR at installation time. The default location is normally "C:/Program Files/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)/". If DXSDK_DIR is not set, the build process may look for it in the default location or "C:/DXSDK/".
• Microsoft Visual Studio 10 (express edition works). The compiler and other tools are expected to reside in the location defined by the variableVS100COMNTOOLS which is set by the Microsoft Visual Studio installer.
