Installing aMule on Slackware


1) Download wxBase and wxGTK sources (.tar.gz packages) from http://www.amule-project.net or http://www.amule.org

NOTE: you will need root access or equivalent to complete aMule install.

2) INSTALL:

tar -xzvf wxBase*
cd wxBase*
./configure
make
make install
tar -xzvf wxGTK*
cd wxGTK*
./configure
make
make install
Grab pre-built Slackware package from linuxpackages.net.
IMPORTANT: You need to have installed pkgtools with Slackware (this is done by default).
installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc5-i686-2.tgz (or whatever current version is)
That's all!
Type amule in a shell to lauch or in KDE (similar in GNOME) go to Kstart->Internet->aMule

3) UNINSTALL:

removepkg aMule
Then if you want get a newer aMule*.tgz version as installpkg again.

Hope this helps.

Final note


You can even get wxBase and wxGTK .tgz slack packages and install with 'installpkg'. Using the slackware package manager saves time during install and makes upgrading easy. Enjoy the hard work aMule developers have done and continue to do!


Just remember you will need wxBase and wxGTK installed even when using Slackware package.
