gnut -- Un*x/Win32 Gnutella Client =========================== http://www.umr.edu/~jjp If you're new to gnut and/or gnutella in general, I highly recommend you read the file TUTORIAL, an excellent introduction to gnut written by Elijah <eli@panix.com> NOTES: This version has been tested successfully on Linux 2.2.14, SunOS 5.5-5.7, FreeBSD 2.8, 3.4, 4.0-RELEASE, and now WIN32!!! In order to compile under Win32, use the supplied wgnut.dsw file. In order to compile with Gnome support, you must do a "configure --enable-gnome" and have libglade installed. The INSTALL document describes how to build gnut. If you are running a fairly recent (less than a year old) release of Linux, it will amount to the following steps: # untar the tarfile, which creates a directory "gnut-0.X.XX" # go into the directory that was just produced ./configure # or 'sh ./configure' if in csh on SysV make src/gnut # to test the executable to see if it works make install # if you want to put it in a public directory like # /usr/local/bin Usage: gnut [OPTION] ... [HOST] ... Client for the Gnutella distributed file sharing network. -l [arg] sets the initial logging level to arg -c [file] specify a script to run at startup -p [port] port to listen on -i [ip/interface] ip (or interface to get ip) to broadcast as our own -d daemon mode, never ask for input -x exit after having run any scripts -v output version information and exit -h display this help and exit Report bugs to mrob@mrob.com All documentation can now be perused at your leisure in the Gnut Manual at http://www.mrob.com/gnut or at gnut's old home http://www.umr.edu/~jjp This file, and everything contained in this package is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, the terms of which can be found in the file COPYING. Wow! You made it through reading all of that crap up above. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions/patches/ideas, please send them to Robert mrob@mrob.com, or contact Josh at josh@nemonet.com (but he will be busy during summer 2000) Thanks! - Robert Munafo, 11 July 2000
