Obtaining LimeWire Source without registering to LimeWire?

I just wanna read the source, not develop it, so I don't wanna sign up to LimeWire's developer group.

But they won't let me download the source unless I am a member.

Is it legal for someone to post the source somewhere, and if so could someone please do so and put a link as a reply to this message?

Thanks in advance.

If it's illegal (open source anyone?), then maybe I can find out what I need by asking a few questions of someone who understands the source.

You don't have to actively take part in the process of development just because you registered a username at limewire.org.

Yes, they do. Simply use a cvs-client and login as 'guest'. Then checkout 'limewire'.

The http-download at limewire.org has been disabled, but it was not very often up to date anyway.

www.limewire.org - and there are also a couple howtos for using various cvs-clients to download the source-code.

What's a cvs-client?

what's cvs

CVS is Current Versioning System or something like that. I makes it easier for a widely spread group of developers to keep track of versions and files.

there is a CVS server running at cvs.limewire.org and you can use a CVS client (a software program running on your computer) to get access to the server and download or contribute (upload) files. for contributing you need specific rights which you don't have as a guest. but as a guest you might download.

go here to read more about CVS and Limewire:
http://www.limewire.org/docs/ddCVS.html

This is a windows CVS client:
http://www.cvsgui.org/download.html

this is a java cvs client:
http://www.jcvs.org/

I dont' suppose you know how to use this cvs thing? The directions on limewire.org are so bad it's unbelievable. It keeps saying "cvs login: CVSROOT ":pserver;proxy=cvs.limewire.org;proxyport=1080:c: \temp\Limewire" is not fully-qualified.
cvs [login aborted]: Please make sure to specify "user@host"!"

There's nowhere to enter user@host or password or anything. They also never tell you what their server address or port is I'm just guessing. The damn instructions say everything in general terms but dont' tell you anything about connecting to limewire like this "Check the "Connect using a proxy server" checkbox.
Enter the host name or IP of proxy. For example: www.projectname.domain
Enter port number for the proxy. For example: 1080 "

Example? Wtf? what's the info i NEED?

which CVS client are you using?

you should use 'guest' as username and leave the password empty.

repository: /cvs
root dir: /cvs
hostname: cvs.limewire.org
connect method: pserver
module: limewire

it should be something like that.

Wincvs the directoins are so freakin vague. I'm also trying to use the command line program that came with wincvs but the instructions for that are even worse.

http://www.limewire.org/docs/ddUsing...gettingstarted

Nothing is clear at all, there is no place other than proxy to enter a server name in wincvs but I don't use a proxy unless you're supposed to enter the cvs server as the proxy? There is no space for a username or password anywhere that I can see either?

I guess my problem is where do you specify "user@host"?!

ok...

i'm using jCVS but anyway I will see what i can do to help you....

select Cvs Admin->Preferences from the menu

this is the CVSROOT in the general tab:
:pserver:guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs

ok now try to make a checkout.
select CVS Admin -> Checkout Module

when you get to the checkout settings
the module name is: limewire
for the gui and the core project
if you only want the gui the name is: gui and core for core....

i hope this helps you...

Yes that's it thank you so much. Now how hard would it be for them to sipmly put in their instructions "enter ":pserver:username@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs" in the CVSROOT field"?

Since you seemed to be able to fix that problem so easily have any idea how to fix this one:

"C:\Temp\limewire\core>set JAVA_HOME=D:\Programs\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_03

C:\Temp\limewire\core>set CLASSPATH=.;lib/collections.jar;lib/xerces.jar;lib/MRJ
ToolkitStubs.jar

C:\Temp\limewire\core>
C:\Temp\limewire\core>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

core:
[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler
[javac] Compiling 172 source files to C:\Temp\limewire\core

BUILD FAILED

C:\Temp\limewire\core\build.xml:57: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not av
ailable A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to your j
dk directory.

Total time: 2 seconds"

I don't know what the deal is...
I installed that jre and the jdk or whatever and set the JAVA_HOME to various different directories, that was the only one that got even that far, set to any other directory it would just ant bad command or filename

ok here is what I did....

I used the Java SDK 1.4.0. You should be fine using the Java JDK 1.3.x.

Open your .\core\compile.bat file. And edit it so it looks like this but with the correct paths for JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME:

Code:

set CLASSPATH=.;lib/collections.jar;lib/xerces.jar;lib/MRJToolkitStubs.jar
 

set JAVA_HOME=D:\Programme\JavaSDK1.4.0

set ANT_HOME=D:\ant-141

set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
 

ant

save it and
open .\gui\compile.bat:

Code:

REM NOTE:  If you are using a local core project, replace lib/core.jar

REM        with ../core

set CLASSPATH=.;lib/collections.jar;..\core;lib/xerces.jar;lib/jl011.jar
 

set JAVA_HOME=D:\Programme\JavaSDK1.4.0

set ANT_HOME=D:\ant-141

set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
 

ant

save it.

Make sure that in both files the JAVA_HOME folder contains a file called javac.exe!

alright now do this:

Code:

cd..\core

compile

it should compile now and say build successfull

Code:

buildCoreJar

It should do something now
now you're in \gui

Code:

compile

it should also say build successfull

that's it.

you can run it by run the run.bat script or with this (set the path to javaw):

D:\Programme\JavaSDK1.4.0\bin\javaw.exe -classpath lib/collections.jar;lib/xerces.jar;lib/jl011.jar;lib;lib/core.jar;RunLime.jar RunLime

Now that I've done that I get that ant is a bad command or filename again :(

It seems that ant requires JAVA_HOME to be the path to the jre but in order ot actually compile it has to be set to the JDK or sdk or whatever it is. Dman thing will not work.

sipher

April 7th, 2002 03:03 PM

Nevermind there it goes. It just didn't want the \bin on the end of hte path.

Thanks!!!!

Re: ok...

Does anyone know why the guest login won't work for CVS anymore?

By the way, you can use the command line instructions with winCVS. Just go to admin, command line. There, you can enter in command line stuff, you can just copy and paste the stuff from the website.

ok, i've done exactly what was said in the previous posts and all i get back is this:

CVSROOT: :pserver:guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs (local mounted directory)
TCL is *not* available, shell is disabled
cvs checkout -P limewire (in directory C:\Limewire)
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs must be an absolute pathname

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

ok, n/m,
"cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs checkout limewire"
worked fine
