Windows: LoadError: no such file to load -- jfxrt about jrubyfx HOT 8 CLOSED

I am not on Windows at the moment, but I am wondering what happens when you type:

jruby -e "require 'java'; puts ENV_JAVA['sun.boot.library.path']"

I think that code in jfx_imports may not be doing something it needs to for the path specified by that Java ENV.

If you could post what enebo suggested, that would be awesome. the code in jfx_imports massages that variable and it might be located in a slightly different location and hence would require a slightly different regexp. On linux it has to strip out the architecture, and if you could post what it is on windows that would be awesome.

Ok, First time I ran it, got this:

C:\Users\edub>jruby -e "require 'java'; puts ENV_JAVA['sun.boot.library.path']" 
Cannot locate Java installation, specified by JAVA_HOME:

I mentioned, I'd installed and uninstalled jruby and various jdk's a number of times trying to get this working and jruby kept auto-setting the JAVA_HOME variable for me to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" So correcting JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11" I get:

C:\Users\edub>jruby -e "require 'java'; puts ENV_JAVA['sun.boot.library.path']"
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\jre\bin

Weirdly (or not) unless I set that JFX_DIR var, it doesn't matter what JAVA_HOME is, I get that same error when running jrubyfx apps.

hmm, what do you set JFX_DIR to? and does \jre\bin contain jfxrt.jar? or does \jre ? (basically where is jfxrt.jar)

from jrubyfx.

jfxrt.jar is in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\jre\lib, which is what I set JFX_DIR to, \jre\bin is a bunch of dll files.

hmm, interesting. I'm going to push a fix in a few minutes to give proper warnings and search for the new windows path

from jrubyfx.

fix in #14.

from jrubyfx.

Looks like your fix works perfectly on my end, so I'm gonna close this .
