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.

15 +* Mount, on a Mac, the DMG file. Then, for XCode 2.5 / Mac OS X Tiger:

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}}

32 +mkdir -p /tmp/wo ; cd /tmp/wo

23 -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

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. Alternatively you can use a recent nightly build of WOLips where this bug has been fixed.
