This wiki page only supports the latest CVS version of aMule.
Requirements for compiling aMule
Note: Some of these require manually moving includes and libraries into their correct directories.
Windows port of GNU C compiler -> Download
Minimal GNU shell for Windows -> Download
Developer toolkit for MSys (for CVS & co) -> Download
LibIConv (required by gettext) -> Download
GetText (for po files, autogen.sh, etc) -> Download
zlib compression library -> Download
Windows port of wxWidgets library -> Download
Common guidelines, issues, solutions
When compiling wxWidgets, you should make use of the following configure flags: --disable-shared --without-checklistbox
Link statically against zlib to avoid distributing extranous DLLs (and generally make life simpler).
Compilation
The compilation itself is actually just a matter of following the usual method: ./configure && make
However, zlib detection might fail. If that's the case, you need to add --with-zlib=/local/ to your configure flags.
Compiling with MinGW Studio
NOTE: The compilation with MinGW Studio is deprecated right now and currently does not function. It might function again in the future.
As of 2004/07/17, you can find, in CVS, the file amule.msp which is the project file relative to the MinGW Studio IDE (Free and under GPL at http://www.parinya.ca/ and shipped with precompiled wxMSW).
Install MinGW Studio, add Zlib and Curl compiled libs in The MinGW Studio tree.
Then, open amule.msp with MinGW Studio, press F7, and aMule "should" be compiled :)
Yes, I know, "compile" is not the same as "work" ... But it is a great begining
