Build an RPM package for Vuze

To start you will neded to get into super user mode (su) and install Development tools (yum install "Development tools") and rpmdevtools (yum install rpmdevtools)

If the ~/rpmbuild directory doesn't exist use the command "rpmdev-setuptree".
if  ~/rpmbuild already exists then use the command "rpmdev-wipetree".

Place the .tar.gz Vuze package that you just downloaded, into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and create vuze.spec in the ~/rpmbuild/specs folder

That .spec must have at least a Name, Version, Release, Summary and License field

i.e
  Name: Vuze
  Version: 4504
  Release: 1
  Summary: P2P bittorrent client
  License: GPL

  %description
    P2P bittorrent

Finally run the command "rpmbuild -ba vuze.spec"

Building Nled and Azureus

NLED - Neat Little Editor is a text mode programmers editor.

In order to install NLED you need:

1.  install the program from the website: http://cdot.senecac.on.ca/software/nled/

2. Once installed, open a terminal and type: "tar -xzf nled_2_52_src.tgz

you will then need to install the C compiler, yum install gcc, and install the ncurses library, yum install */ncurses.h.
(you must be in root, su, to install them)

Finally type ./nled to start the program.


Azureus is a P2P file sharin client that uses the bittorrent protocol.

First, go to the link to download:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/azureus/vuze/Vuze_4504/Vuze_4504_linux.tar.bz2?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fsearch%2F%3Fwords%3Dazureuys%26type_of_search%3Dsoft%26words%3Dazureus%26search%3DSearch&ts=1284601611&use_mirror=softlayer

Once downloaded, open up a terminal and extract the .tar file from it's downloaded location using the line: tar xvf Vuze*



When extraction is complete move to the folder: cd vuze

(Azureus will need Java to run)

Finally run the program with: ./azureus
