Getting Started

In June 2004, Shareaza became open source. Now anyone can download the code, play around with it, and make Shareaza better. This part of the Wiki will help you get started.

Note that the development part of the Wiki has been migrated to our Trac Wiki, as this allows us to split user support and the development process and thereby reduce confusion of 'regular' users.

Get Visual Studio and work with the current code in development

First, setup the tools you need to make Windows programs. Get Microsoft Visual Studio, and download the Platform SDK. Use the MSDN Library to search online if you need to find out what something in the code does.

Our developers edit the code on a SVN server. Use a program like TortoiseSVN to get the current code, and keep your copy up to date. Download and compile the Boost library.

All of this is described on the Trac Wiki:

Help program Shareaza

Programming Shareaza is a team effort. Interact with other developers in the Development Discussion forum and on IRC. Submit your code by posting it in the Code Submission forum.
