The following is the commands you should type to install aMule on MacOS X.
This HowTo is written to install aMule cvs but should work for any other version. Please note that you should always download the latest aMule version available.
Whenever curl is used, if it isn't installed on your system, just download the file manually.
Lines beginning with a # character are comments on what the following lines do.
# install Xcode Tools # http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/ # Getting ADC ID > Log In > Download Software > Developer Tools > Download Xcode Tools last release > Install # install Fink too, since gettext is needed # http://fink.sourceforge.net # read the info at http://fink.sourceforge.net/download to learn how to install gettext # make amule dir in home cd ~ mkdir amule cd amule # get source from the internet and unpack it curl -O http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz curl -O http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0rc6.tar.bz2 tar -xzf wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz tar -xjf aMule-2.0.0rc6.tar.bz2 # remove downloaded archives after unpacking rm wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz aMule-cvs-20040927.tar.bz2 # install wxMac cd wxMac-2.5.2 # directory "build" should already be there. if not, create it with # "mkdir build": cd build ../configure make sudo make install cd .. cd .. # compile aMule cd aMule-2.0.0rc6 ./configure --disable-systray --disable-gtk --enable-embedded_crypto --with-wx-prefix=/usr/local --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wx-config make cd .. # optional: reduce size of amule from 44 MB to 3 MB while loosing # debug info :-( strip src/amule # create app-Container curl -O http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-App-Container.tgz tar -xzf aMule-App-Container.tgz rm aMule-App-Container.tgz cp aMule-cvs/src/amule amule.app/Contents/MacOS/ # move amule to your Applications folder mv amule.app /Applications
If you get an error like this: You cannot open the application "amule" because it may be damaged or incomplete, right click on amule then click on Show Packages Contents, go to Contents>MacOS> and double click on amule. Next time you start from amule.app it will run fine. If you still get the same error, move amule.app to the desktop and run it from there.
hopefully temporary comment of gerd.castan@z.zgs.de:
there seems to be a new version of http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-App-Container.tgz
(timestamp: 04-Oct-2004 17:05) which seems not to be in gzip format:
tar -xzf aMule-App-Container.tgz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
