Yes, limewire. No ebuilds, download the linux installer from limewire.com.

One important tip: if you're behind a NAT make sure you forward port 6346 to your machine, and if you're firewalled open up port 6346. This will allow you to download from other hosts that are NAT'd/firewalled, roughly doubling the number of available sources.

Seriously, if you really want to use Kazaa, downgrade wine to the previous ebuild that worked.

Why not try : emerge gtk-gnutella
Have been using this for a good while without any problems.

I'm getting an error when hei s ready to copy the files.

Internal erro: Failed to expand "group" constant.

How can i solve this

carrett · Post by **carrett** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 1:13 am

ok, here's a new problem that maybe someone can troubleshoot:

i re-installed wine (totally) and i ran

Code: Select all

wine kpp.exe

and i got the usage kpp.exe <filename> error, so, as instructed, i ran

Code: Select all

wine kpp.exe KazaaLite.kpp

once and it gave me LoadLibrary() failed....so, i thought maybe this was normal and tried running

Code: Select all

wine kpp.exe

again, but i was back at the usage kpp.exe <filename> error again.

what do i need to do?

agent_jdh · Post by **agent_jdh** » Sat Jul 05, 2003 1:20 pm

Carrett, there's a new wine ebuild that fixes the Kazaa Lite problem.

btw, did you remember to re-unzip the kazaa and system dll's into the right places after deleting your .wine directory?

carrett · Post by **carrett** » Sat Jul 05, 2003 6:16 pm

yep yep.

but i was still using that version that broke it.

thanks.

The july version of wine breaks kpp.exe again

wine-20030709.ebuild does not have the kpp patch enabled by default.
Just uncomment the patch in the ebuild, all kpp works again.

Yay! Didn't know about that, just updated to the new wine and nearly fell off my seat when it broke KLite again. Cheers for that one.

Now if only I could get SpeedUp to work and sort the corrupted icons in KLite...

it doesn't run for me . I get this:

$wine kpp.exe

$
and it crushes X and everything
and kpp edited my conf file and the original one send-ed to config

could anyone get version 2.4 of k++ get to run?

the tutorial doesn't work for me with his version....

CybeRDukE · Post by **CybeRDukE** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 3:07 pm

i finally got version 2.4 running doing the following:

use a CLEAN fake_windows and enable the kpp-patch at the wine ebuild.
then follow the steps mentioned above but with these wine config additions:

Code: Select all

[AppDefaults\\Kazaa.kpp\\DllOverrides]                                                                                    
"shdocvw" = "native"                                                                                                      
"shlwapi" = "native"                                                                                                      
"urlmon"  = "native"

this works absolutely great except of some grafic errors at the buttons and tooltips are not working. maybe anyone could give me some hints how to fix it.

what is a CLEAN fake_windows? I have tried several things and none of them work and what is the syntax to get this patch you speak of?

fizz@fizz Kazaa Lite K++ $ wine: Unhandled exception (thread 000b), starting debugger...

I get two popups with nothing in them, and im not able to close them, then after a few minutes, i get a Force Quit message, any ideas?

wine-20030911 no longer contains a reference to the kpp-patch, and thereby seems to cause this error.

crimson · Post by **crimson** » Thu Sep 25, 2003 12:39 am

So... the question is: Does kazaa lite work? Which versions do work? I had kazaa lite working previously, but haven't been able to do so with the newer versions of Kazaa Lite. Also, the newest version of wine ( at this point 030911) doesn't work for me at all.

buyo · Post by **buyo** » Sat Oct 04, 2003 4:23 pm

Has anyone been able to get the newest wine working with the newwest version of k-lite? i tried following the instructions on this thread but I am getting many different error messages:

"Unhandled illegal instruction at address 0x000f0043. Do you wish to debug it?"

TinheadNed · Post by **TinheadNed** » Sat Oct 04, 2003 5:54 pm

Didn't work here. I might get around to adding the patch back in manually at some point and trying that.

CybeRDukE · Post by **CybeRDukE** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 5:08 pm

the most recent combination that works here is

wine-20030813 with kpp-patch enabled
kazaa lite 2.4.1

updating wine breaks kazaa as well as kazaa lite 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 does.

crimson · Post by **crimson** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 7:36 pm

Could you put the wine-20030813 and the kpp-patch somewhere on the web? Neither it or the patch are in portage anymore. That would be really cool so that I can use Kazaa again.

CybeRDukE · Post by **CybeRDukE** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 9:32 am

You can also get the files from the online package database at gentoo.org. just have a look at the Attic-directory in the cvs-tree.

But i put the files from my portage overlay on my homepage. download here

hope it works.

You don't have to downgrade...The patch applies to the newest version of wine. Open /usr/portage/app-emulation/wine/wine-20031016.ebuild in your favorite text editor, and add this in src_unpack():

Code: Select all

    cd ${S}/dlls/oleaut32/
    patch -R < ${FILESDIR}/kpp-fix.patch

Download CybeRDukE's tarball, and untar it to /usr/portage/app-emulation.

Code: Select all

wget http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~fromm/wine-klite.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf wine-klite.tar.bz2 -C /usr/portage/app-emulation
emerge wine

I haven't tested this yet (recompiling wine now), but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

EDIT: It works.
