Help building?

[tedneward]

Doing a straight "gradlew build" is running into some version mismatches--has this been built recently, and if so, with which version of the JDK and which version of Gradle? Were any changes to build.gradle required?

[defano]

Hi @tedneward ,

What errors are you seeing? gradlew build works for me using JDK 8:

openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

I know there were some breaking changes in later versions of Java (I seem to recall JavaFX has been unbundled, for example). I should probably specify compatible JDK versions (or update the build instructions for current ones).

[tedneward]

I will take a spin at it using 8, then, before I start going down a rabbit hole (and leading others with me 😊 ).

Some of the errors seemed related to using the right version of Gradle, mostly version mismatches.

I was wondering if the Java9 module system was responsible for some of the breakage, but then I saw some other posts which seemed to imply that people had gotten it to build with more recent versions, which was finally what led me to just pop up and ask.

Thanks for the response!

Hi @tedneward https://github.com/tedneward ,

Just took another crack at it using JDK 8 (inside the Ubuntu environment in WSL, if that makes a difference--it shouldn't, though), and got these two errors:

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':jar'.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':runtime'. Could not download aspectjrt.jar (org.aspectj:aspectjrt:1.8.13) Could not get resource 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/aspectj/aspectjrt/1.8.13/aspectjrt-1.8.13.jar'. Tag mismatch! Could not download groovy-all.jar (org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.5) Could not get resource 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-all/2.4.5/groovy-all-2.4.5.jar'. Tag mismatch!

This was from a fresh "git clone" of the project tonight. OpenJDK 1.8.0_242-b08.

[tedneward]

Oh, now, this is interesting--just did a clean build on a different machine, and it worked fine. Not sure what the difference is, but wanted to be clear that I got a good build.

[gingerbeardman]

Any help appreciated.

My goal is to run the app to create content on modern macOS.

Just did a build on macOS Big Sur with JDK 8 (and also OpenJDK 16.0.1) using:

./gradlew build

And get the following error:

❯ ./gradlew build

Hi @gingerbeardman , those errors look to me like you're compiling with a version of Java newer than 8. I believe the javax package was eliminated from the JDK in Java 11. Alternately, I suspect you could fix this error by adding this JAR to the build: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.annotation/javax.annotation-api/1.3.2

I need to spend some time bringing the project up-to-date with the latest Java releases.

Feel free to submit a PR with your changes if you get this cleaned up. :)

[gingerbeardman]

Sadly not being into Java I have no idea what any of that means 😅

But I'll look into it

[gingerbeardman]

Have had a go but no joy.

[defano]

Try this:

1. install, SDKMAN (a Java SDK version manager— https://sdkman.io) by executing curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
2. Install Java 8, sdk install java 8.0.232.hs-adpt
3. Use that version for your current shell session, sdk use java 8.0.232.hs-adpt
4. Navigate to the Wyldcard project directory and re-run ./gradlew run

There's a bit more that needs to be updated than simply adding the javax package dependency when trying to use a modern version of Java. I need to clean that up...

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks!

I get:

Stop! java 8.0.232.hs-adpt is not available. Possible causes:
 * 8.0.232.hs-adpt is an invalid version
 * java binaries are incompatible with your platform
 * java has not been released yet

Tip: see all available versions for your platform:

  $ sdk list java

And so:

sdk list java

Use the Identifier for installation:

================================================================================

So I went with 8.0.292.hs-adpt

[defano]

Interesting... Try using 8.0.292.hs-adpt (instead of 8.0.232.hs-adpt)

[gingerbeardman]

Just edited my comment to say I did just that.

Success!

Thanks again.

[defano]

Awesome! Glad its working for you.
