I'd like to see a binary for Mandriva 2008.

I have never been able to install it from source code :(

Cheers

Luis

Mandriva got rid of every p2p client which isn't a torrent client.
For phex in mandriva you need to:
install java
donwload the phex .jar file

run: $ java -jar phex.jar (you can associate this in kde or gnome so every time you click the phex.jar file the "java -jar phex.jar" command runs)

Best regards,
Manifest0

Thanks a lot :)

I'll try this and post back if something wrong happens.

Yes it works as you explained :xirokrotima:

I really like the interface... clean and neat.. althouh I could never close the app to the systray, however it's a great app.

I hope soon is in my native language (Spanish) and also hope in a near future , ALL the java devs/coders write an applet where we users can increase/change the size/style of the fonts. This is something that stoped me to use limewire/frostwire (so hard to read in my 1680x1050 monitor

Kind Regards

EDIT Where can I get an icon for my Desktop?

What do you mean with an icon for your desktop? A menu entry? A shortcut?
I suppose you want a .desktop file:
1- Open a text editor an write something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=3.2.0.102
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=phex
Comment=Free file sharing program running on the Gnutella Network.
Exec=java -jar /path/to/phex.jar
Icon=/PATH/TO/ICON
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network
StartupNotify=true

3- save the file with name phex.desktop
4- place the file in your desktop folder and you will have a nice shortcut in your desktop
5- for a menu entry you have to look in the internet. (you have to put those .desktop file in some specific location)

btw, you've edited my quote... :P

LOL....sorry about that :D

What I mean about "icon" is a simple small picture/image normally in PNG format (or SVG) that is used to identify an app... and usually has some kind of picture that identifies the with the app...(in this cas a "kind of fox" :tease:

Luis

well... You can use this image: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/images/phex-gf.png and resize it.

I hope it works for you! :P

You could also choose among these ones (from our iconsets):

https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...esources/icons

Sadly we only have the OSX icon as .icns file

For example:
https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...x/phex_wiz.gif

that's exactly the one I downloaded ..:super:

Kind Regards
