I've been using WebObjects 4..5.1 on windows 2k, windows 2000 server, windows 2003 server with no problems. WebObjects 4.5.1 on winXP is working fine, but XP is not so good as it adds no benefits other than a supported OS to WO developers. I guess Vista will be the same: not attractive to wo developers. So from deployment point of view, apps written in Apple's WebObjects-ObjC will be ok for some years to come on windows servers but eventually they need to be based on GNUstep/GSWeb or SOPE etc.
WebObjects-ObjC on windows is important to make GnuSTEP/ObjC/GSWeb etc known to the general programming community. Also, being able to deploy on windows is a big deal to many medium sized businesses and areas like China where qualified unix IT people are very hard to find. Without EOF, WOF, a platform can produce toys mainly to the business networks. Without an IDE, all the nice frameworks will not nice enough for average developers. Really hope GnuSTEP can be a competitive platform on windows so that I can finally get rid of 4.5.1, a plat form so neat but discontinued. Currently I'm still adding new features found in GnuSTEP/ObjC to WO4.5.1. Hope in that way my code can be easily converted to fit in GnuSTEP while being useful right now. What pbs not working on Vista is an interesting problem. WO-ObjC windows' port is very self sufficient and this time I see an exception. > Keckeis, Erich wrote: > > AFAIK, none of the GNUstep Web developers is using Windows currently. > Since gs-base works on Windows it should be possible to make GSWeb work on > Vista too. > > -- > _ _ > _(_)(_)_ David Wetzel, Turbocat's Development, > (_) __ (_) Buchhorster Strasse 23, D-16567 Muehlenbeck/Berlin, FRG, > _/ \_ Fax +49 33056 82835 Phone +49 33056 82834 > (______) http://www.turbocat.de/ > > > We have developed a huge project (about 400000 lines) with WebObject > > 4.0 > > in Objective-C which is running on Win XP. > > Now we face the problem, that the > > pasteboard Server is not running on > > Windows Vista. > > > > Is there a possibility to > > convert the projet to GNUStep and is it > > running on Win-Vista ? > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss-gnustep mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep > > > _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
