This wiki page only supports the lastest CVS version of aMule.
List of things you need to compile aMule
Note: Some of these require manually moving includes/libs into the right 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
Generally, compile wxMSW as static library. This avoids several linker issues, and provides you with static binary.
Link statically against zlib and wxMSW to avoid distributing extranous DLLs (and generally make life simpler).
You need to modify wx/setup.h file by hand (after installing wx) and change wxCheckListBox to 0 (or, alternativly, configure wx with --without-checklistbox). Probably there's a better way around this, but I can't think of any right now.
Compilation
The compilation itself it's actually just a matter of following the usual compilation way: ./configure && make
However, zlib detection might fail. If that's the case, you need to add --with-zlib=/local/ to yout configure flags.
Compiling with MinGW Studio
NOTE: The compilation with MinGW Studio is deprecated right now and generally doesn't work at the moment. Might work again in the future.
Since the 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
