GraalVM for Windows


I'm testing the new RedHat framwork Quarkus. I'm trying to built a native executable and to this I need to download GraalVM, but on GraalVM's download page there are two Editions (community and entreprise) which are available only on Mac and Linux, but not for Windows.

Is there an alternative to download GraalVm for Windows?


Solution

  • Currently (2019-04-01) there's no full GraalVM distribution for Windows. One can get the preview version for Windows from the OTN GraalVM page which includes the Graal compiler. However, the native-image functionality, being OS specific, doesn't work very well on Windows yet. The GraalVM team is actively working on it and you can follow the progress on GitHub -- https://github.com/oracle/graal.

    I've heard that WLS works with the linux version or one can try building in a container or a virtual machine. Which is not ideal, but can serve as a workaround until things work.
