ezroller Posted October 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 :lol: I DID try that. and the install worked great, but when the program runs, i can't see ant text in the search window. I'm curious what version of wine you are using, since on the wine site it is listed as not working either. it seems you know something noone else does.....

83mercedes Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 it seems you know something noone else does..... Highly unlikely! I just have wine 20021007, from cvs,compiled by doing ./tools/wineinstall (in other words, I don't know which wine that is...) If you don't already have it, you can get it like this: $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.com:/home/wine $ cvs login *** The password is "cvs" *** $ cvs -z3 co wine ***to update:*** $cvs update -dPA Every once in a great while, I just get lucky! Hope this helps! Good luck. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I read, that all interesting filesharing-scenes have been closed by the music-industry. Wh yare there such a lot of tools you are using?? And to which sharing-ideas (Audiogalaxy, napster, edonkey...) do they belong? I am asking because i am missing the windows-Audiogalaxy frontend a lot. I am searching a lot of very uncommon musictitles which i could normally not find in another way than this. But i thought there is no filesharing left any more for mp3?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frew Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 The easiest filesharing thing ever, and I have it down to a 2-step process now. Just built a new computer and reinstalled mandrake (preserved /home and /var though) so I had to do this yesterday. First, make sure you go to plf.zarb.org and add plf as an urpmi source. It's not hard, instructions are on the front page...copy and paste into a terminal. Step 1. urpmi giFT . That command should pull down the gift-curs interface. More on that in a second. Step 2. Go to gift.sf.net and hit the download link, then the 'most current' link. It'll give you cvs instructions on how to download the source tree via cvs. Again, it's just a copy and paste into a terminal. Follow the instructions on that page, and in case you miss them, here are the steps to build giFT. Go into the directory where giFT put it's source tree...type ./autogen.sh and watch the magic. Things may be missing that you'll need installed to continue. If not it'll exit normally and tell you to type 'make' and wait for awhile. Next you'll do the 'make install' (su to root first). There. GiFT is almost installed and ready..but first read the README. It has important info you MUST do first. It basically tells you the name of the script to run to get giFT setup. Follow the prompts and go eat some popcorn. Ok, so giFT is built, installed, configured, and giFTcurs is installed from plf. What next? Why, open a terminal and type giFT & and hit enter. There's your giFT daemon, now you need to access it. Type giFTcurs and hit enter. Welcome to the wonderful simple world of OpenFT. Have fun. The giFT dev team also requests that everyone update their version quite often, as you could mess up their test bed network with a buggy version, so try to get the CVS about every other day, you could probably make a cron script to do it. Oh, and if they dev team ever seems mean, it might be because you violated the rule I just stated. It is built by them. But you, mean people suck, thats why you should read manpages before you ask people....try asking the mplayer people for help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 OK, I got lopster to actually work, you MUST have the latest CVS version of it (I guess). Details are here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8472 This one is able to connect to something, at least, but I haven't had a chance to really play with it. ezroller you might want to check that... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fat_larry Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 I've tried everything p2p on linux, but I'm afraid WinMX on Wine is by far the best solution as yet to be found by this penguin fan. which is frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Gotta agreed with joehill - Napshare's the best, at least for gnutella. Lotsa cool features, rock-solid stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrosheen Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 "But you, mean people suck, thats why you should read manpages before you ask people....try asking the mplayer people for help..." Wow Frew, you have some pair of cojones to tell me to RTFM. I'm well aware of the Mplayer guys but at least there is some method to their madness. The giFT dev is just plain mean and nasty. He'll kickban you from his IRC channel for any reason at all (i.e. if you report a bug in the channel). At any rate, I still use giFT and it still works great.
