@neomatrix369 - I think you have some Graal builds working already correct? Would be good to integrate them into our pipelines and see what other platforms we can add.
Not sure if the builds work for Windows yet - I can take a look at it and see if it works. What we build is just the graal compiler - the whole suite would need an install of a number of things on our slave boxes to work. And the last time I saw we had issues installing things on them. Goes back to the ansible scripts for the boxes and being able to test them on a free slave box.
In either case, we won't be able to satisfy @enikao's request fully.
@neomatrix369 What do you mean by "graal compiler"? Unfortunately, the Graal project is a bit inconsistent in its naming.
To my understanding, the main parts of GraalVM are:
(See also https://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/glossary/)
If I understand the comments on the Oracle download page correctly, they exclude SubstrateVM (and possibly Sulong) from their Windows build; I'd expect the same limitations apply to this endeavor here.
This leaves us with Graal(VM) (which you mentioned to build already), and Polyglot / Truffle + interpreters. The latter are "only" Java libraries, so building seems pretty straightforward (although I never tried it).
In this sense, I don't see that much missing compared to the Oracle preview.
@neomatrix369 Any update on this (ref @enikao 's question above)
I'd love to see GraalVM-enabled builds on Windows. Ideally, I'd go for JDK8 on Windows 64-bit.
I don't know any details, but there might be a general compatibility issue, as even Oracle does not provide such a build (see bottom of https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oracle-labs/program-languages/downloads/index.html). We might expect limitations to the Windows versions similar to the ones mentioned on this page.
Might relate to #369
