xMule: A P2P Client derived from eMule

So, you want to join the core group of testers and developers by testing xMule's CVS? Then this article is for you.

The following tools must be installed on your system in order to successfully compile CVS:

autoconf v2.57 or later -- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2
gettext 0.11.5 or later -- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.tar.gz
HopeSeekr's Premake 1.6.1h or later -- http://www.xmule.ws/files/Premake-1.6.1h.tar.bz2

First, make sure that all of these programs exist on your system. If you are a first time user of our CVS, then you will almost certainly have to install premake. To do this, uncompress it, run make, and then copy the premake binary to /usr/bin.
$ tar xjvf Premake-1.6.1h.tar.bz2
$ cd Premake-1.6.1h
$ make
# mv premake /usr/bin

Once you have the necessary programs installed, you may now check out our anonymous CVS. Remember that anonymous CVS is a priveledge, not a right and if it is abused too heavily by our competitors, we will be forced to make it private.

To check out the xMule CVS repository, run the following commands:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gna.org:/cvs/xmule login
$ cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gna.org:/cvs/xmule co xmule
There is no password, so just press ENTER when asked for one.
After downloading the CVS, you now must set it up so that you can compile it. Run the following command:
$ ./autogen.sh
Anonymous CVS is primarily for testing purposes. If you find a bug, please visit the bug-tracking section of our website, and if your bug has not been reported, please do so.

Thanks for your continuing support,
HopeSeekr
