| Gnut Manual: Administrivia |
1. Administrivia
1.1 Where to Get
The main gnut home page is http://www.mrob.com/gnut, you can also still visit Josh's original gnut page at http://www.umr.edu/~jjp. Source package, binary releases, as well as the newest version of this document can be found there. The distribution can also be found at the Gnutella Portal, http://gnutella.wego.com under the section third party clients.
1.2 Requirements
Gnut will run under most unices which support POSIX threads. Under linux this requires that you have glibc-2.0 or greater. Win32 is supported through some simple wrappers. Readline, regular expression searching, and other niceties are supported if the compiling platform has them.
1.3 Most Recent Version
As of this writing the most recent version of gnut is 0.4.14. This changes on a regular basis, so it's always best to look at one of the web pages (in section 1.1) for the newest version. A ChangeLog, as well as a README, are available on the web pages as well.
1.4 Pre-compiled Binaries
A precompiled Win32 binary is available at Josh's web page. A link to RPMs for i386 can also be found there. It is assumed that all other platforms have some way of compiling software, preferably with GNU tools.
