Currently Windows and Linux are supported.
This project uses JavaFX. To run it, either Java 8 with JavaFX or Java 11 or higher are required.
For compilation either Java 8 with JavaFX or Java 8 (with or without JavaFX) plus Java 11 are required. This project includes native code programmed in C that has to be compiled with gcc. To compile this code on Windows MinGW is used.
To manage the C compilation the nar-maven-plugin is utilized. However, it only works with Java 8 and therefore the native module must always be compiled with it.
For native compilation on Windows, the included build-scripts assume that MinGW is extracted into mingw64 folder. On Linux they assume that gcc is installed and available on the PATH.
For Java compilation, the Java 8 JDK is expected in the jdk8 folder and the Java 11 JDK in jdk11.
Run the build-system_jdk8 script to use the system install of the Java 8 JDK. Alternatively, use build-local_jdk8fx if the locally extracted JDK8 includes JavaFX or build-local_jdks to utilize the local JDK 8 and 11.
To execute the compiled program use either run-system, run-local_java8fx or run-local_java11 based on your compilation choice above.
