Compiling Freenet from Source
Once you have downloaded the source code (
Instructions here) you will see there is a
freenet directory with these files:
build_binary.xml
build.xml
LICENSE.Freenet
LICENSE.Mantissa
README
The
build.xml file is similar to the Makefiles you often get with C/C++ programs. It contains all the information necessary to build freenet from the source. To do this, you need a program called
ant∞. You should be able to build Freenet just by changing to this directory and running this simple command:
This should compile all the source code and output a file called freenet-cvs-snapshot.jar in the
lib directory. You can then stop Freenet, copy this to your main Freenet installation and overwrite the freenet.jar file with it, then restart Freenet again.
