Where is core and gui directories?!

[anthikos]

Hey!

I didn't follow the recommendation and downloaded Limewire source in a single archive..I'm running under Windows, so just unzipped it in a directory and went on following the instructions given at limewire.org website. But...

Instructions 3.1 and 3.2 says that "in order to start building your code you should compile core and gui modules. build your copy by executing the commands

cd core
ant

cd gui
ant
""
these commands produce the known error "no such file or directory",


But doesn't this command refer to directories..?My source code has no directories at all..And I think there might be a problem because I checked out some examples and through Subversion you get your source downloaded arranged in core, gui, lib directories...

I have Windows XP, J2SDK1.4.2_09, ant 1.6.5.

The zip file should contain what you need within the directory 'trunk'. That is, it should unzip to have a single 'trunk' directory, then a 'core', 'gui', 'lib' and 'tests' directory, etc... You should follow the instructions from within that trunk directory.

That said, the zip file is and has been horribly out of date and has many unnecessary files since we moved to using Subversion for anonymous access. We'll try to get it cleaned up sometime next week.

I recommend you use the other method (checkout from Subversion) from retrieving the source.

But that's exactly the problem...The zip file on its own has no directory structure or any kind of hierarchy...just files-no directories..I could try the other way, but Eclipse is huge for my connection....:(

I downloaded the zip file after you mentioned this (and again just now), and saw (and see) no such problem. What are you using to unzip it?

Thanks, sorry to put you into trouble! I took a closer look and saw that such a structure actually existed in the zip file, but WinZip didn't extract it with this structure! WinRar did the job and I finally got to build the code etc. But now questions are getting more and more!!!Anyway, I'll look for answers, thanks for your time.

No worries. Older version of Winzip may get confused with such large pathnames.
