I am trying to compile the jogl source directly on beagleboard under angstrom Linux.
If that's the case, then you'd need gcc and a JDK installed in Angstrom linux on the BeagleBoard, and you should be able to build from the command line as described at
http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Building_JOGL_on_the_command_line, assuming the build will work at all (still waiting on Sven for confirmation that it's even possible).

Is it possible to build jogl on windows and deploy the binary directly to angstrom Linux? I am aware that the processor difference between Intel and ARM , I wasn't so sure that the binary built on windows could be port directly to arm processor.
This seems to contradict your first sentence

This sounds like you want to cross-compile (i.e. compile ARM binaries on desktop Windows/Linux using something like CodeSourcery, then just copy the binaries to the BeagleBoard). This is more complex, since you have to have a cross-compilation environment set up -- are you an experienced embedded developer?
