Hi!
I installed WO in a FreeBSD machine using the port. Very very nice
work! Indeed I found some bugs that can be easily fixed:
1) Wonder won't install properly from the nightly build, since the
URL changed to Wonder-latest-Frameworks-53.tar.gz. If I download the
file and place it under the /usr/ports/distfiles, the port actually
deletes it and tries to download it again. The only way I could go
around this was changing the port itself.
I wrote the port, I will have a look into it.
2) There is a /apple directory (with everything useful) and an /usr/
local/apple that has nothing, only empty folders. Why?
/apple shouldn't exist at all. If it does, it's a bug. There were some
changes a little while back to the ports tree make files that are
likely to have caused this. I will look at releasing an update as time
permits. If you install 6.2 and don't update the ports tree before
installing the WO ports this shouldn't happen.
3) NEXT_ROOT should be /apple and not /usr/local/apple (or the
important stuff should be in /usr/local/apple).
Everything should be in /usr/local/apple or possibly even /usr/local/
share/apple. That's the FreeBSD way.
4) It would be nice if NEXT_ROOT would be placed in the /etc/
profile automatically, or at least that should be suggested in the
installer text.
This should not be necessary in a deployment environment because
everything launched using wotaskd will have NEXT_ROOT set
automatically. You're only likely to need this if you are running
things interactively on the command line.
Otherwise, it's really really easier than doing a manual
installation like I did on the last time. Thank you guys! :)
The new version of the port, which adds support for WO 5.4 as well,
when I get around to releasing it, is even better.
BTW, some FreeBSD questions you may know the answer to:
1) When you run an rc.d script, where do the log with errors on the
script launch go?
They go to the tty that you ran it from unless the script itself
redirects the output elsewhere. If you want the output of your wo
apps, have a look in /var/log/webobjects
2) I'm compiling my apps on the FreeBSD machine itself, using the
ant script. The classpath files are being generated wrongly.
Particularly, I get something like: LOCALROOTLibrary/Frameworks
instead of LOCALROOT/Library/Frameworks (note the / between
LOCALROOT and Library). I'm going to debunk this today, but if you
could know the answer in advance...
Not sure, it could be an environment setting you have set incorrectly,
or not.
