Description: Apollon - the greek god of music, mp3s, and videos! Apollon is a KDE-based client for the p2p-protocol giFT (OpenFT, FastTrack(Kazaa!), Gnutella, OpenNap) It is very userfriendly, intuitively, offers an inline Mediaplayer for previews of downloaded files, etc etc
For further questions and support please contact us either on apollon-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or irc.freenode.net#apollon. That little forum below is not a help/support/bug-forum, imho.Last changelog:
8 May 2005 - added icons for Ares. - improvements of the search page - all in one installer contains Ares plugin as well - fixed some translation filenames.
14.12.04: Updated the all-in-one installer. Contains now the latest versions of: giFT: 0.11.8.1 OpenFT: 0.2.1.5 Gnutella: 0.0.10rc1 FastTrack: 0.8.8
13.10.04: fixed several QT 3.2/3.3 issues. updated french and serbian translation. significantly improved first run wizard. Installs now all available plugins automatically (and not only OpenFT).
01.10.04: Again a bugfix-release of the installer. Lots of important bugfixes!
29.09.04: Bugfix-release of the all-in-one installer. Fixes compile-errors with mising QT libraries.
26.09.04 Apollon 1.0 ===========
- Apollon connects to the chat only when desired.
- "search for more sources" changes the icon to express the action
- fixed some untranslatable strings.
- ctrl-w and Esc go to the right tab-page in the search-page.
- Apollon should be compatible to KDE versions installed after apollon now.
- NEW FEATURE: added chat-support for apollon-users * nick colouring and highlighting * tab-nick-completion * popup-notification if your nick is mentioned
- added the choice for "apollon-progressbars" and "KDE-progressbars"
- replaced the progressbars with real ones.
May 15 2004: Apollon 0.9.4 =============
- added brazil translation
- some changes to prepare apollon for autopackage.
- apollon is ready for the use with unsermake
- files already in progress appear in your searchresults as selected for downloading
- improved tooltip in the search page.
- enable/disable docking. docking ready for GNOME-uses who have the kdesystrayproxy installed
obviously apollon is pretty much dead, hasn't been updated in forever and won't even work without tweaking after install. but what is the replacement? apollon is _still_ the most downloaded file sharing app on apps.kde.org and something like it would still seem great. i guess frostwire / limewire are the replacement, but i would much rather have something Qt-based...especially Qt4 based
hello, when I install apollon at 50% it give me this error : checking for rpath... yes * configure: error: * in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. * So, check this please and use another prefix! ***** Return value 1 Someone can explain me how to solve this problem, thank ;)
Hello,
I think you need to check:
1.Is kde_devel package installed?
IF 1 == true THEN
2.Locate your kde home
directory - the prefix
(a.k.a /usr/local/kde3.5)
ELSE
install kde_devel packages
CONTINUE
3. type:
$./configure --help
This command tell us about the behaviour of the package and presents a list with a lot of options and resource path modifiers, ex: --with-kde-dir or --with-kde-prefix or something similar
try to run:
$ ./configure --with-kde-prefix=/usr/local/kde3.5
and see what happens
IF CONFIGURE==FAIL THEN
try to run:
$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kde3.5
If you choose as installation prefix for an application exactly the prefix of the kde then this should work
IF CONFIGURE CONTINUES TO FAIL THEN

"Happiness comes at a price : the price of suffering!"
Actually, i don't think happiness comes at a price, if not the price of living, being. I think people have lost sight of what's happiness. Really, look around: people are always looking for something better, somewhat a constant unsatisfaction. People have lost the ability to look at a glass of wine and see it half full, and not half empty; they have lost the ability to look at the present, look how the fuck they are powerfull, that's it, how well made.
Now, to that point, i agree; but i don't see why you want to suffer to reach happiness.
I may just say "ok, go on, cut you a hand
if it can makes you feel so happy why would I contest?",
"and by the way, would you say okay if i asked you to do it with my toothbrush just bought last day?
"The better you suffer, the better you are,
"i know a guy in Niger, it was forty-five,
"he took more than a whole year to die from a cancer
"he caught those ones on a river, at home in Niger
"he thought this shit gonna lead him to glory
"but he died in the lost of a all possible dignity
Amen

My System is SuSE 9.3Pro, AMD-64bit
Thanks apollon developers, the installer is compiling now :). the installer is just amazing.
I hope arkollon could be of much help to Linux Newbies to create and install packages on their linux systems.
I keep getting this error while running "sh apollon-installer-0.8.1.run":
checking for unlink... yes
checking for lt_dlopen in -lltdl... no
* configure: error:

why is that?
Thanks
Hi, in your all in one installer script, I have a suggestion... It would help, if you could give it a prefix (for when kde is installed in a non standard place - such as on my system SUSE 9.2). also after it exits with the errors, if the script wasnt run as root, it gets permission errors from trying to remove installation files (from when you was as root). Keep it up!
Hi,
I tried the all-in-one package, however I keep getting this error:
* configure: error:
* *** Couldn't find ltdl library. If it is installed in a non-standard
* *** location, please supply --with-ltdl=DIR on the configure command line,
* *** where `DIR' is the prefix where ltdl is installed (such as /usr,

Any solutions?
Your all-in-one installer is a work of art. Absolutely no problem with the install. I only wish that all program installs were so thorough. I only have one minor problem that gnutella doesn't want to connect. I'll probably figure that one out. I am using Fedora 3.
Good job, again.
pgk
I had the same problem, in fact after install of the gnutella plugin you HAVE to run the gift-setup command from a konsole.
Accept all the default values, it will finish the config and gnutella will connect
I use apollon as my primary source of getting music that I need. I find that the network speeds tend to flux quite abit, but I can live with it. I have to say that the program is easy to install (by source) and that the addition of the ares network makes me use the application even more so.
Works fine for me . The all in one installer is easiest .
I am running suse 9.1 .I am pretty much a newbe .
The only thing that was missing was the kde multimedia part but i figured out how to fix that by using the ftp and just getting it .
Ares plugin doesnt work for me but thats not the program and someone else made it . if anyone has that working / post here and lemme know how . thank you
gnutella doesnt connect but i think the program needs something to update the nodes etc.
kceasy has something that updates the nodes and plugin . apollon needs that .
so far so good . very promising program . i cant wait for ares and soulseek to work in this .
Great work !!
This is what happenned to me after I DLd the installer and tried to run it:
oicdn@linux:~> su
Password:
linux:/home/oicdn # cd Documents
linux:/home/oicdn/Documents # sh ./apollon-installer-0.6.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Apollon............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Please wait while the Arkollon installer is compiled
This may take a few moments
linux:/home/oicdn/Documents #
Nothing happened after the "It may take a few moments......help???
I´ve just installed Apollon with the exec file...and every time I start a search, it crashes.
Anybody have this problem? Found a way to fix it? Anybody?
Thanks

Just install libtools from source. Fedora doesn't include all of it, that's why the installer stops.
the installer didnt work :(.
why not? sh apollon-installer-0.8.1.run works. Martin
