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.
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 += Create the file structure on your Windows machine =
29 +
30 +1) Create the structure:
31 +C:pple
32 +C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
33 +C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
34 +
35 +2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks
36 +
37 +{{code}}
38 +
39 +mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/Library/* C:\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks
40 +mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/System/Library/* C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks
41 +
42 +{{/code}}
43 +
44 +{{warning}}
45 +
46 +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.
47 +
48 +{{/warning}}
49 +
50 +4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
51 +wo.woroot=C:/Apple
52 +wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
53 +wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
54 +wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
55 +eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
56 +wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
57 +
58 += Install Eclipse and WOLips =
59 +
60 +5) Install eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1
61 +
62 +6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]]
63 +
64 += Notes =
65 +
66 +That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
67 +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
68 +2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
69 +3) Outline view in component editor is not right
70 +4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
71 +
72 +I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
