Arch Linux User Repository

For anyone else having issues installing this, I was able to get it to work with a few changes:

Change PKGBUILD to download the .gz archive instead of the .bz2

source=(
    https://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/archive/${pkgver//./}-ga.tar.gz
    ...

rerun makepkg with the -e flag and then run updpkgsums. Afterwards, use the following LDFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf and it should build without issue.

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now"

Additionally, if you encounter an invalid syntax error for Ruby's '=~' operator while compiling JavaScriptCore, applying this patch to the offending file will fix it: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt5-qtwebkit/blob/rawhide/f/webkit-offlineasm-warnings-ruby27.patch

After using "yay -S --mflags --skipinteg java8-openjfx" the problem comes down to extracting 8u202-ga.tar.bz2 file.

EDIT: Installing "https://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/archive/8u202-ga.tar.bz2" solved it i think, it now seen as installed.

EDIT 2: It still does not work.

EDIT3: Tried to recover the 8u202-ga.tar.bz2 with bzip2recover but it says "block 243 runs from 465536083 to 466352176 (incomplete)" I think I cant download the 8u202-ga.tar.bz2 file or its corrrupted.

EDIT4(last... maybe?): After finding an old file of https://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/archive/8u202-ga.tar.bz2 on Wayback Machine, it gets stuck at gradle errors.

I have the same issue, downloaded the file manually. I put it in the yay cache and tried doing it manually. In makepkg.conf I set my LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now" but still get a failure to build.

I even copied an older cache from another system with it and that same cache fails doing a local makepkg. I assume something in the build tools changed and this package isn't compatible.

For me the build fails on the checksum verification of 8u202-ga.tar.bz2. It passes the Retrieving sources check but doesn't actually download the file. If I try to download it manually with wget it hangs at "HTTP request sent, awaiting response" I successfully downloaded the file with a browser. It has the same checksum as in the PKGBUILD but I have to rename the file from rt-8u202-ga.tar.bz2 to 8u202-ga.tar.bz2 for it to pass the test.

It then failed with the same error as Exord shows. I tried removing the LDFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf as suggested by copycat. I changed the flags from

     LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro"

to

    LDFLAGS="-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,relro"

I also tried(as suggested by rdtsc)

    LDFLAGS="-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now"

These all produced the same error as Exord.

Thank you copycat! In Mabox / Manjaro / Arch I had to change /etc/makepkg.conf:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now \
     -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs"

to

LDFLAGS="-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now"

It then compiled, but gave A LOT of warnings. Unsure if it will actually run.

I'm just install OracleJDK8. I remember reading that JFX was no longer included starting with OracleJDK 11

I was tried to remove that from the LDFLAGS but when I tried to install get into loop and have to stop it and throw this

@copycat That did the trick. TYVM

It looks like the only way to build this package is to remove the flag "-Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs" from LDFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf

With that flag present, build just stuck at errors like "Execution failed for task ':web:compileNativeLinux'" or others. Fresh arch installation. Fixes that were suggested by @dibbel26 don't work for me.

Without that flag, package successfully builds.

Getting the same issue as others have mentioned.
