9 -= Moving the WebObjects frameworks from a Mac to a Windows machine =
10 -
11 -The WebObjects frameworks are part of the Xcode tools distribution (available on the Mac OS X DVD, or as a download from Apple, see below) which cannot be installed on a Windows (or any Linux/UNIX variant) machine directly. So, before developing on Windows, you will need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can extract the frameworks from XCode without having to install them on the intermediate Mac.
12 -
13 -* Obtain Xcode 2.5 (if you want to work with WebObjects 5.3), or Xcode 3.0 (if you want to work with WebObjects 5.4) at [[ADC>>http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/]] ~-~- these are in the form of large (about 1 GB) disk images. Note that you will need to sign up for an ADC membership, but the "online" membership is free.
14 -
15 -* Mount, on a Mac, the DMG file. Then, for XCode 2.5 / Mac OS X Tiger:
16 -
17 -{{code}}
18 -
19 -cp /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools/Packages/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz /tmp
20 -cd /tmp
21 -unzip Archive.pax.gz
22 -pax -r -f Archive.pax
23 -tar cf WebObjectsRuntime.tar Library System
24 -cp WebObjectsRuntime.tar -> Windows
25 -
26 -{{/code}}
27 -
28 -... and for XCode 3.0 / Mac OS X Leopard (since Installer packages are created differently in Leopard):
29 -
30 -{{code}}
31 -
32 -mkdir -p /tmp/wo ; cd /tmp/wo
33 -xar -vxf "/Volumes/Xcode Tools/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg" ; pax -rzf Payload
34 -tar cf WebObjectsRuntime.tar Library System
35 -cp WebObjectsRuntime.tar -> Windows
36 -
37 -{{/code}}
38 -
39 -= Create the file structure on your Windows machine =
40 -
41 -1) Create the structure:
42 -C:pple
43 -C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
44 -C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
45 -
46 -2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks
47 -
48 -{{code}}
49 -
50 -mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/Library/* C:\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks
51 -mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/System/Library/* C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks
52 -
53 -{{/code}}
54 -
55 -{{warning}}
56 -
57 -3) If you copied a 5.2, you will need to put a Windows License.key in JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources.  If you copied a 5.3, I think it's a universal license key.
58 -
59 -{{/warning}}
60 -
61 -4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
62 -wo.woroot=C:/Apple
63 -wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
64 -wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
65 -wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
66 -eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
67 -wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
68 -
69 -= Install Eclipse and WOLips =
70 -
71 -5) Install eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1
72 -
73 -6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]]
74 -
75 -= Notes =
76 -
77 -That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
78 -1) The woproject/**.patternset don't work quite right on Windows.  If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting Components~/~/**/etc/** to Components/**, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources
79 -2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
80 -3) Outline view in component editor is not right
81 -4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
82 -
83 -I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
