9 +When building a Framework project, Ant needs to be able to find WebObjects. WebObjects itself is a set of Frameworks just like the one you are building. They can be installed anywhere using [[these instructions>>WO:Installing WebObjects 5.4 on Snow Leopard]].

13 -* Linux: {{/Library/Frameworks}}
11 +Where Ant will look for WebObjects is specified by the ##wo.system.frameworks## build property. This property can be set in a number of locations, or even passed as a command-line property to Ant.
