Hi, could you please consider reviewing patches to finalize the building of the java-openjfx packages in scope of this discussion, as part of an attempt to complete Alexey's awesome work. The thread had stopped receiving updates for some time now. I assume priorities were shifted elsewhere. I recently got interested testing an openjfx application on Java 1.8, only to realise that the current packages are incomplete. I came across this thread, and thought to give the patches a try, and fix where possible. I believe I have finalised all openjfx packages in scope to build, pass all tests and seamlessly link to their native libraries at runtime. My test application now works, I can use the graphics, controls and web openjfx packages by merely specifying their share/java jar packages on the classpath. This email has three incremental patches. I've named the as [PATCH v5] to denote this is a continuation from the last patches. 0001: Alexey's work brought forward to a recent guix revision. 0002: Small changes to updated the above to build with the current guix spec/packages. 0003: My update to finalize the openjfx packages, normalize inputs, run all tests where they exist and fix the load path of native libraries at runtime. I've put the author of 0001 down to Alexey since this is his works. I compiled this patch by hand from the thread, I hope I haven't missed anything. The individual packages produce a jar output, and some of them also build native shared libraries. The individual jar packages try to load their native libraries just by name, and this will fail if the native libs are not on the library path. I've taken the decision to load these libraries by their full gnu/store path instead of their names. I have also applied the same to an external package, java-swt, since it has a shared library that has to be located at runtime. Although there are a few native libraries built by the java-openjfx-graphics package I left it as is, because it has a sophisticated native library loader that locates shared libraries relative to the jar location. The changes in 0003 are as follows: * java-openjfx-graphics 1. Normalize inputs, only build against gtk-2.0. 2. Output native libs to openjfx standard share/amd64 dir. 3. Do not build libjpeg from source, but rather use corresponding package. 4. Run all tests. * java-openjfx-controls 1. Run all tests. 2. Fix java-openjfx-graphics name typo. * java-openjfx-media 1. Build against gstreamer. 2. Compile native library and modify loader to load it directly from the store path. * java-openjfx-web 1. Include version. 2. Modify loader to load native web kit lib directly from the store. 3. Fix a failing test, by applying new java-openjfx-build-web-js-test.patch as picked up from a later openjfx revision source code revision, to fix a failing test. 4. Run all tests. * java-swt 1. Modify loader to load native library directly from the gnu/store path if it can't be found otherwise. This is required for seamlessly loading java-swt as an input. This is my first guix package update, so is likely to require more work based on your feedback, which is most welcome. Thanks
