Building OpenJFX with WebKit

[Ondra Pelech]

thank you, I followed your advice

one exception was that I had to perform
export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -fPIC"
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC"
./configure --enable-static --enable-shared

instead of the "./configure --enable-static"

for successful build of openjfx itself, I also had to copy around some
.java and .gif files
but eventually the build succeeded
the result is here if somebody will find it hopeful

javafx-sdk-overlay.zip built with webkit support (libjfxwebkit.so) and
maybe some other features
on Fedora 20 x86_64 from
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/rev/c14d3344e474
