Tried searching first?

'How I did it' forum search results for 'kazaa lite' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=650708&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending).

Search first... ask second. :)

well,
if i were you i'd use xmule(lmule) or gtk-gnutella.
these r 2 good peer to peer file sharing program on linux, no need to install wine....
easier and more reliable... i gues.s..

To clarify, I have tried 50 different ways to get Kazza to work in wine - and in doing so i have tried every flavour of wine there was, with at best extremely mixed sucess. At the end of the day I decided the results just weren't worth bothering with, so I moved on to XMULE and forgot about it.

Now Newsbin Pro in wine is quite another issue. Not peer to peer, but rock solid and brutally fast. I always find peer to peer is way behind the curve of what's available anyway.

But that's just me I guess.

getting Kazaa to run under Wine is now a complete waste of time.

You can now use the Kazaa network (FastTrack) from giFT, eliminating yet another Windoze app.

well i have to say the only good advice that i got in return was "Search First ask second".

But before i get into how i did it, i just want to let u know that i have used gtk-gnutella and all the others but they simply do not comapare to kazaa IMHO.

After doing alittle bit of searching i finally came across a howto in the "How i did it" section, it gave me a start point to where i should start fiddling with the program and wine and my DLL's.

Because i have made changes to the kernal and am able to mount NTFS paritions i had quick access to the DLLs that i needed.

but alast i couldn't get it to work, so i went to kazaa lites website and looked at older downloads, to see if maybe i could get those to work. While i was browsing their site i even came to a complete HOWTO on how to get it working!!!

http://doa2.host.sk/linux.htm

it even has wget links to get all the neccessary DLL's.

I hope the next person who want to get wine is able to find this, or it helps all u others that got frustrated and gave up.

maybe you should wait until this whole mp3/file sharing lawsuit thing blows over. just an idea.

I haven't had much success with the following method, the main window starts up, then crashes.

Isn't that the one in the link I already posted earlier for the Kazaa lite howto in the 'How I did it' forum?
