I can never find instructions on how to install both these programs and get them to work.

 

Can someone explain how to install/configure Wine, and how to use Kazaa in conjunction with it? Or at least point me in the right direction?

i don't think that kazaa works w/wine, because kazaa needs internet explorer, and, well, i just don't think it works. atleast, that's what i've been told.

 

however, if you're looking for a file sharing program, there's limwire, gtk-gnutella, and more! they are decent (i use limewire).

 

hope this helps in some small way.

I've found that the userbase for LimeWire is so much smaller than on KaZaA that I often don't get many matches to a search. I use IRC, though, for most of my needs. The only time I really even boot into Windows is to use KaZaA, and then it is only to download things like music videos and DivX movies.

Works great. Too bad it's not version 2.0. :(

 

The one thing that always used to mess me up is exporting and importing registry settings. I could get the installation to work, but I couldn't get the fake registry to update with the changes made by the installation of kazaa.

Running Kazaa on Linux using WINE

 

Just so you know that it actually works, here is a screenshot of Kazaa Lite running on my RedHat 8.0 machine. I also included the output from the uname command so that you know I'm not pulling your leg ;)

 

# Download a recent build of WINE from http://www.winehq.com. I used the 20020605-2 RPM package and installed it on a RedHat 8.0 system. In case you don't know, you can install the RPM package by running something like "rpm -ivh wine-20020605-2.i386.rpm" on the command line.

# Make sure you have the following DLLs from a Windows 95/98 installation in WINE's windows/system directory (WINE's windows directory is at /usr/share/wine-c/windows by default):

* comctl32.dll

* comdlg32.dll

* COMMCTRL.DLL

* msvcrt.dll

* shdoclc.dll

* shdocvw.dll

* shlwapi.dll

* urlmon.dll

* wininet.dll

# Get the patch for WINE's system.reg file here and put it at ~/.wine/system.reg.

# Add the following lines to your WINE config file (found at ~/.wine/config):

 

[AppDefaultskazaa.exeDllOverrides]

"commctrl" = "native"

"comctl32" = "native"

"comdlg32" = "native"

"msvcrt" = "native"

"shdoclc" = "native"

"shdocvw" = "native"

"shlwapi" = "native"

"urlmon" = "native"

"wininet" = "native"

 

# Download Kazaa Lite setup from http://www.kazaalite.com.

# Run the Kazaa Lite setup program by running something like "wine kazaa_lite_2.exe" on the command line. When the setup program asks you where to install Kazaa Lite, install it somewhere in your home directory (ie. ~/kazaalite/).

# Now you're ready to run Kazaa Lite! Because Kazaa uses ICMP echo (which requires root permissions on a UNIX box), you need to run Kazaa Lite as root. So run the su command and enter your root password to become root. Change to the directory where you installed KazaaLite (ie. "cd ~/kazaalite") and then run "wine Kazaa.exe".

 

You should be ready to go now with Kazaa on Linux. It works pretty well, but I managed to break it a few times. Also, for some reason, Kazaa Lite always takes up about 40% of my CPU time whenever I have it running on Linux (even when I'm not doing anything with it). If it freezes up on you, you can easily get rid of it by running "killall wine" as root.

 

 

there you go, use the newest version of kazaa lite and ill make the dll's available soon at http://members.lycos.co.uk/captainmilkfarmer/dlls/

Well, it's about 2 month's old, but my friend Raiderfox wrote one <a href="http://shadow-wolf.cjb.net/linux/kazaa.shtml">How To: Kazaa Lite</a>. The transcript is as follows:

Guide: Installing and running Kazaa Lite 2.1.0 build 3 via wine

 

Before we begin notes:

Before considering running Kazaa Lite on Linux, you should check out a native program, like giFT. It'll save you some headaches in the long run. Also, please keep in mind that this is what worked for me. There are several guides out there for running various versions of Kazaa Lite via wine, but none of them worked for me. Also, so you know what kind of system I have:

 

Processor: Intel Pentium 4: 2ghz

Graphics Processor: Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4600: 4x agp, 128mb

Sound Processor: Onboard Intel sound

Ram: 512mb RDram

48x DVD-rom

32x/24x/12x CDR/W

Distrobution: SuSE Linux 8.2 Personal - Kernel 2.4.20

Wine: Compiled from source; 20030508 (yes SuSE comes with an rpm version of wine, but I prefer to compile it)

 

 

First things first: get the files.

You'll need to get the installer, (which you can get at http://kazaalite.tk) as well as some native M$ windows DLLs, (I used Windows 98SE, your milage may vary otherwise) which you can obtain from http://www.drd.dyndns.org.

 

What you need:

commctrl

comctrl32

shdocvw

shdoclc

shlwapi

rasapi32

msvcrt

urlmon

wininet

 

There'll probably be a few of these files already in your ../(fake_)windows/system directory, which you should store in a safe place for a rainy day or whatever. What I did was create a subdirectory in ../(fake_)windows/system called Dll_orig and moved the dlls that I already have that had the same name in there.

After you've downloaded and stored the dll's in the system directory, go find your Wine registry config file. For me, this is ~/.wine/config.

 

Add these lines to your registry:

 

[AppDefaultskazaalite.kppDllOverrides]

"commctrl" = "native"

"comctrl32" = "native"

"shdocvw" = "native"

"shlwapi" = "native"

 

[AppDefaultskpp.exeDllOverrides]

"comctrl32" = "native"

"comdlg32" = "native"

"rasapi32" = "native"

"msvcrt" = "native"

"shdoclc" = "native"

"shdocvw" = "native"

"shlwapi" = "native"

"urlmon" = "native"

"wininet" = "native"

 

[AppDefaultsklitekpp210b3e.exeDllOverrides]

"commctrl" = "native"

"comctl32" = "native"

"shdocvw" = "native"

"shlwapi" = "native"

 

(also, make sure your Wine winver is set to win98)

 

Ready to Install!

cd into the directory where you downloaded the kazaa lite installer, and run it like you would any other windows program via wine - "wine klitekpp210b3e.exe". When you get to the part of selecting what to install, remove all the unnecesary components. (I haven't tested any of the componnents, so I can't verify if it [the extra components] works or not) Also, when you get to the part of having the option of launching the program or configurator, don't (again, untested). After the install closes, you should then be able to run Kazaa Lite. cd into the directory it was installed in, and type "wine kpp.exe", and voila! It's buggy and fairly slow, but the search and transfer tabs work (albeit distrorted), as well as the system tray icon, under KDE. Enjoy!
