Question is: How do I deploy a working app on either my mac or on
the Windows 2000 desktop to the Deployment server (Compaq Server)?
For an Application (rather than a framework) there is a directory
called ProjectName.woa. This is the built project, and this
directory is what you need to move to the deployment server. You do
not need to recompile anything (you do probably need to ensure your
development machine is compiling under the same version of WO as your
deployment machine is deploying under).
This ProjectName.woa directory is located in a slightly different
place on a Windows vs an OSX development machine, but look around and
you'll find it. It's under the project's directory.
This ProjectName.woa directory has within a file called
"ProjectName", and a file called "ProjectName.cmd". The cmd file is
the script to launch the app on Windows. The bare "ProjectName" file
is used to launch on Unix (not sure, possibly this same file is used,
or maybe there's another file; I deploy on Solaris myself).
When moving from Windows to Solaris, there are a few other things I
needed to fix. Permissions and ownerships of files may need to be
fixed. I had an issue where I needed to fix newlines from Windows
style to Unix style in a couple configuration files. That's about
it, I think.
Hope this helps get you started. It's odd to me that Apple provides
no instructions (that I'm aware of) or tools for doing this sort of
thing, moving a built product from a development machine to your
deployment machine. But it's not too hard once you figure out what's
going on.

Which files do I need to move?
Do I need to recompile on the Server?
Thanks for you help.
