Ninjam

libninjam

I split up the code of ninjam so that the code used by the client as well as the server ends up in a shared library. Further more there is now a library that should be the common ground for all the ninjam clients. This makes it also easier to develop clients outside the original ninjam source tree.
The source code of ninjam includes the source code of the shared libraries libninjam-common and libninjam-client, as well as the cursesclient and the server. Just like in the original distribution.
Note: For up-to-date source-code of libninjam you may have a look at the svn repository on the sourceforge project page of gninjam.
Note 2: In the svn repository exists a branch of libninjam with session-mode and voice-chat support. The procedure of compiling the code is analogous to the instructions given here.

Instructions:

Download the source tarball[an error occurred while processing this directive] and the diff file.

wget http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/hardy/ninjam_0.06.orig.tar.gz
[an error occurred while processing this directive]wget http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/hardy/ninjam_0.06-1ubuntu9.diff.gz

Unpack the tarball:

tar xvzf ninjam_0.06.orig.tar.gz

[an error occurred while processing this directive]Patch the directory:

cd ninjam-0.06.orig
zcat ../ninjam_0.06-1ubuntu9.diff.gz | patch -p1

Build it:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]cd ninjam-0.06
[an error occurred while processing this directive]./autogen.sh
[an error occurred while processing this directive]./configure
make
sudo make install

Debian/Ubuntu package:

Prebuilt deb packages are available through my repository. Which you can add to your /etc/apt/sources.list or your favorite package manager with the following line:

deb http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/ hardy/

for access to the source packages:

deb-src http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/ hardy/

And then you can install them with:

sudo apt-get install libninjam-common libninjam-client

If you also need the development files:

sudo apt-get install libninjam-common-dev libninjam-client-dev

The server can be optained by:

sudo apt-get install ninjam-server

The ncurses client can be optained by:

sudo apt-get install ninjam-client

Note: These packages were built on a current version of Ubuntu Hardy. So if you have an older version of Ubuntu you will probably have to built the packages yourself using the sources above, because you will probably not meet the package requirements. Here is how you can do that after adding the deb-src line above to your /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get build-dep ninjam
apt-get source ninjam
cd ninjam-0.06-1ubuntu9
[an error occurred while processing this directive]./autogen.sh
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us

[an error occurred while processing this directive]And install it using dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i ninjam_0.06-1ubuntu9.deb

gninjam - GTK client for NINJAM

I finished the basic elements of the gui. It may be still a bit buggy, but it is working.
Some settings are now included in the preferences dialog using gconfd for saving the configuration. The channel settings are also saved using gconfd now instead of the old ninjam.config file.
Note: Since this is an pre-alpha release there is no guarantee for anything;-).
Note 2: For up-to-date source-code of gninjam you may have a look at the svn repository on the sourceforge project page of gninjam.
Note 3: In the svn repository exists a branch of gninjam with session-mode and voice-chat support. The procedure of compiling the code is analogous to the instructions given here. You will also need libninjam with session-mode and voice-chat support to compile this branch of gninjam.

Requirements:

Get and install libninjam, especially the development files for the client.

Instructions:

Download the source tarball[an error occurred while processing this directive] and the diff file.

wget http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/jaunty/gninjam_0.01a.orig.tar.gz
[an error occurred while processing this directive]wget http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/jaunty/gninjam_0.01a-13ubuntu1.diff.gz

Unpack the tarball:

tar xvzf gninjam_0.01a.orig.tar.gz

[an error occurred while processing this directive]Patch the directory:

cd gninjam-0.01a.orig
zcat ../gninjam_0.01a-13ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p1

Build it:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]cd gninjam-0.01a
[an error occurred while processing this directive]./autogen.sh
[an error occurred while processing this directive]./configure
make
sudo make install

Debian/Ubuntu package:

Prebuilt deb packages are available through my repository. Which you can add to your /etc/apt/sources.list or your favorite package manager with the following line:

deb http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/ jaunty/

for access to the source packages:

deb-src http://gehrignet.de/ubuntu/ jaunty/

After adding the repository you have to update your package list either by using your favorite package manager or by the following command:

sudo apt-get update

And then you can install gninjam with:

sudo apt-get install gninjam

Note: These packages were built on a current version of Ubuntu Intrepid. So if you have an older version of Ubuntu you will probably have to built the packages yourself using the sources above, because you will probably not meet the package requirements.
