Welcome to the FrostWire Source Distribution. Building and Running. ===================== 1. Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set. (e.g). JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun export JAVA_HOME 2. Extract the sources. cd /usr/share/frostwire tar xvfz frostwire-src-x.y.z.tar.gz 3. Build. cd frostwire-src-x.y.z ant everything 4. Run. ./run Ubuntu/Debian Dependencies. =========================== If you didn't get this sources from a frostwire-dev-x.y.z.deb package make sure your Ubuntu/Debian has the following packages installed. ant libgnome2-dev libxt-dev maven2 openjdk-6-jdk python zlib1g libc6 libgcc1 Cleaning. ========= Invoke 'ant clean' Restrictions. ============= Compilation is only supported for 32bit architectures. (jdic didn't want to cooperate under 64-bit architectures) So... you could compile it on 64-bit architectures, just don't expect the icon tray to work. Happy Hacking, FrostWire Team.
