I am using eclipse to build, no doubt you could use another ide/toolchain. I am also using WinXP.

- download and unzip the source somewhere
- download the dlls and jars from http://www.jempeg.org/
- install the dlls and jars (the same as you would if installing jemplode manually)
- download the 69.0000000000000000001 jemplode jar
- unzip the jar file
- copy the com/rio and com/tffenterprises folders from the jar into the source tree
- open eclipse create a new project and point it at the top of the source tree
- open the properties for the project, go to the compiler section
- check "enable project specific settings"
- change the compiler compliance level to 1.4
- select "Run-Run dialog"
- select "Java application"
- create a new configuration with org.jempeg.empeg.manager.Main as the main class
- hit "Apply" and "Run"

That should be it, unless I forgot any steps.

I'm no java expert, even though I spent 3 months earlier this year coding in it and building a project like this is always a bit of a fight with eclipse. It has a few very nice features, but I find lots of its UI somewhat opaque

I should also say that beyond opening the app and watching it fail to locate an empeg I haven't actually checked that it is working. I don't have a working empeg to hand today.
