(updated: added symlink in /usr/bin with help of contrasutra)
excellent java bittorrent client for Win32/Linux/OSX
My first working package...

pkgname=azureus
pkgver=2.1.0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Azureus provides a bittorrent protocol implementation using the java language."
url="http://azureus.sourceforge.net/"
license=""
depends=('j2re' 'gtk')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/azureus/Azureus_${pkgver}_linux.GTK.tar.bz2)
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd azureus
  ./azureus
  ln -s ~/azureus/azureus /usr/bin/azureus
  chmod +x /usr/bin/azureus

}

Rather simple, but it seemed to be flaky installing on different machines. Please try it out and LMK.

cat is a program that writes text to the screen by default. Here the line

 cat > ${pkgname} << EOF

means write to file ${pkgname} everything that follows until EOF is detected.

i've done that cat command to create a little script - because creating a symlink wont work.
but executing /opt/azureus/azureus will work - so i cd into the dir and run the program. (its just a simple shell script)

I've installed Java and Azureus successfully but get the following when starting Azureus:

Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE [java = Kaffe]
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com
ls: /usr/java: No such file or directory
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/ hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com

what should I do to get it working?

omg why does everyone have to install everything to /opt...
the standards state that opt is for very big all encompassing things... personally I don't think even firefox should be there... but it kinda has to

kde, gnome, things like that go in opt... a simple java program... nope

z4ziggy · 2004-10-27 01:02:24

i agree phrakture. where should small things like that get installed? in /usr/bin ?

@cotton
Looks like you have kaffe installed. I guess it conflicts with j2re in some way.
azureus depends on suns java (j2re)

Cotton · 2004-10-27 06:03:48

Thanks soniX,

pacman -R kaffe and Azureus starts up no problem.

I'm pretty sure the Arch default install is /usr/bin - some other distros prefer /usr/local/bin... I like /usr/bin as it's shorter to type.

If you can, please modify this script to throw binaries in /usr/bin... configuration should be in /etc or /usr/share/<appname> or something to that effect... I'll find the unix guidelines sometime and make a wiki for it...
