Hello everybody,
today I tempted fate and installed WO 5.4 on an Windows system
(based on an MacBook) for development parallel to an existing 5.2
installation.
After trying the tutorial for parallel handling from the wiki
without any success I simply copied the new Framework directories
into the old location. Not very elegant but seems to work: I could
compile in Eclipse (3.5, WOLips 3.4.5872).
But I did not succeed in making an ant build. I always get the
message "There is not root named "C:/Apple" in [[Root: name=
Project...." when coming to the compile target. Alas I haven't the
faintest idea what is meant by that. Could somebody help me,
please?? Is the problem related to the new framework/classpath
handling I hadn't understand either?
Yes, you need to update the build files. The easiest is to create a
new project and move the build.xml file over. This will NOT be
compatible with older versions of WOLips (pre-New Hotness). Look in
the woapplication task for a section like:
<frameworks root="C:/Apple" ...
It should be more like
<frameworks root="System"
embed="${your.property.here}"
eclipse="true" />
By the way, the licence terms of the 5.4 version leave some points
unclear, especially section 4 about termination. I tried to get
information from Apple, but at least at the german telephone sites
there was no much help. Does anybody knows an email contact at apple
for official information ("[email protected]" did come back)?
I don't have the license handy. Do you have a link or can you paste
in that section?
