recent problems with JFX ant script (original) (raw)

I have seen the same type of problem building the oracle internal deploy repository. My conclusion is that when building with devenv, it interprets environment variables as case insensitive. Cygwin does not and has both lower and upper case tmp and temp defined. Devenv doesn't like having multiple definitions of the same variable. Now to make things even more complicated, when running devenv, a background processes MSBuild is launched, and it's actually this process that triggers the error. It's left running and may or may not be picked up again when rerunning devenv, which explains the intermittent nature of the problem. Killing all the MSBuild processes in taskmanager and unsetting the lowercase tmp and temp solves the problem. For the javafx build, I would recommend adding tmp= and temp= prior to launching devenv when building in cygwin to have the problem universally solved. This is what I do in build infra.

I ran into two new problems building JFX on Win 7 this week:

1) I had to unset lowercase tmp and temp. Apparently there is a new problem with having duplicates, TMP/tmp and TEMP/temp. This may be related to http://www.cmake.org/Bug/printbugpage.php?bugid=13131 The failure appeared as: launcher-win: [echo] STARTING: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com native/windows [echo] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com /build Release|Win32 IconSwap.vcxproj [exec] [exec] Microsoft (R) Visual Studio Version 10.0.30319.1.

I had to rerun vsvars.sh to fix it. This failure appeared as: needs-devenv: [echo] Using C:\Users\Pete\JavaFX\controls-RT-26343\jfx\rt-closed\glass\glass-mat-lib-windows${windows.vs.DEVENVCMD}. BUILD FAILED Both of these showed up when building on Windows 7 which I haven't done in a while. I was just rerunning the ant script over and over after source code changes. I use ant -Dhudson.jfx.job.name=8.0-controls-scrum sdk-no-docs Since the problem is intermittent I supposed these could be related to the combination of cygwin/Norton360. I'll disable Norton auto-protect for a while to see if that helps, but wanted to let others know of this in case it's helpful. Pete
