| 9 | = Moving the WebObjects frameworks from a Mac to a Windows machine = | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | The WebObjects frameworks are available on the Xcode tools, which cannot be install on a Windows (or any other Linux/UNIX variant) machine. Before developing on Windows, you need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can fetch the frameworks without having to install them on the 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/]]. | ||
| 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 | ||

| 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 | {{warning}} | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 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. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents: | ||
| 44 | wo.woroot=C:/Apple | ||
| 45 | wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local | ||
| 46 | wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple | ||
| 47 | wo.homeroot=C:/Temp | ||
| 48 | eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse | ||
| 49 | wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | = Install Eclipse and WOLips = | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1 | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | 6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]] | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | = Notes = | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | That should be it, I think? The things that are problematic right now on Windows: | ||
| 60 | 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 | ||
| 61 | 2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not | ||
| 62 | 3) Outline view in component editor is not right | ||
| 63 | 4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true// | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck. |
