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 + Install [[Eclipse and WOLips>>http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Install+WOLips+with+Eclipse+Update+Manager]]
72 +
73 += Notes =
74 +
75 +That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
76 +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
77 +2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
78 +3) Outline view in component editor is not right
79 +4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
80 +
81 +I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
