English version updated: 23.12.2007 - Newest Gentoo Version are now 2.1.3 as well that 2 CVS versions.

Introduction

Gentoo is known for choices. Unfortunately, some choices require more labor than others. As such, aMule comes in a variety of versions and installation methods based on what version of wxGTK you decide to use...

Also, if you plan to build a GUI-less core, you might want to take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109515, comment #3 contains a patch for wxGTK-2.6 ebuild that removes the dependency on X.

Methods of Installation

amule-2.1.3.ebuild

This ebuild matches the 2.1.3 stable aMule release, it is available 13.10.2007 in portage.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.*; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.0 for remote support; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26 for unicode support.

amule and wxGTK-2.8*

It is a few ebuilds for compiling amule against wxGTK-2.8* at that time of writing (1-11-2008): amule-2.1.3-r1.ebuild (the same as above, but for wxGTK-2.8*); amule-2.2.0_pre20080304.ebuild (2.2.0 pre-release); amule-2.2.1.ebuild (stable version of amule); amule-2.2.2.ebuild (last stable amule release).

They can be marked as stable or unstable depending to your arch.

Dependencies for the 2.2.2 version: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.*; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/crypto°°-5.5.2; unicode? stats? >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26; remote? >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.0; geoip? devs-libs/geoip
; upnp? net-libs/libupnp.

Installation instructions

amule-2.1.3.ebuild

1. Emerge package:

 emerge --sync
 emerge amule -pv
 emerge amule

amule CVS (portage)

Portage have 2 CVS ebuilds: amule-2.2.0_pre20070422.ebuild with wXgtk-2.6 support and amule-2.2.0_pre20071204.ebuild with wXgtk-2.8 support. Both are marked as unstable for all architectures.

To install amule-2.2.0_pre20070422:

1. Add to package.keywords:

 echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

2. Review installation flags:

 emerge amule -pv

3. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs :

 net-p2p/amule -amuled -debug gtk nls -remote -stats unicode

This would install amule without deamon and remote support. To activate deamons and remote options, leave out the '-' like this:

 net-p2p/amule amuled -debug gtk nls remote -stats unicode

As aMule needs unicode support or it won't compile, you might also want to add a line to enable unicode in x11-libs/wxGTK

 x11-libs/wxGTK unicode

Personally, I have the unicode USE flag in /etc/make.conf so that any program that support unicode will be compiled with unicode support.

4. Install aMule:

 emerge amule

To install amule-2.2.0_pre-20071204,

we need to unmask wXgtk-2.8. Process like for amule-2.2.0_pre20070422, but with this supplementary step:

1. Unmask amule-2.2.0_pre-20071204 and wXgtk-2.8

 echo "=net-p2p/amule-2.2.0_pre20071204" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
 echo "=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.7.1" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

amule CVS (latest one)

It is no ebuild for the current aMule CVS so we need to add one in portage. For that, we will make use of a personal portage overlay. If you don't already have one, just follow this HOWTO article: HOWTO Installing 3rd Party Ebuilds

We will also follow the naming scheme of portage. CVS ebuild from a CVS tarball are not named as package_name-cvs but as package_name-version_date_of_the_tarball. That is to distinguish them from real CVS ebuilds (the so called live ebuilds) named as package_name-9999 and using keywords="".

1. Define PORTDIR_OVERLAY. Open up /etc/make.conf with your favourite text editor and define the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable. We will use:

 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

2. Create overlay for amule-cvs:

 mkdir -p /usr/local/net-p2p/amule

3. Add to package.keywords:

 echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

4. Copy the following ebuild into {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule/amule-2.2.0_p20071217.ebuild

I use here the tarball from 17 December 2007 that was working fine for me, but you can change the date like you want. I use p in order to distinguish this ebuild from the ones in portage (using pre).

5. Change directory:

 cd /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/amule/

6. Digest the ebuild:

 ebuild amule-2.2.0_p10071217.ebuild digest

7. Review installation flags:

 emerge amule -pv

8. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag):

 net-p2p/amule -amuled -debug geoip gtk nls -remote -stats unicode

This would install amule without deamon and remote support. To activate deamons and remote options, leave out the '-' like this:

 net-p2p/amule amuled -debug geoip gtk nls remote -stats unicode

As aMule needs unicode support or it won't compile, you might also want to add a line to enable unicode in x11-libs/wxGTK

 x11-libs/wxGTK unicode

9. Install aMule CVS:

 emerge amule

PLEASE do emerge amule -pv before installing to determine how you want to compile aMule.

aMule 2.1.1 Compilation FAQ

When compiling aMule-2.1.1 on a hardened system with gcc-3.4.5(at least), it will fail with something like:

WebServer.h: In member function `T* UpdatableItemsContainer<T, G, I>::GetByID(I) [with T = SharedFile, G = CEC_SharedFile_Tag, I = CMD4Hash]':
WebServer.h:270: internal compiler error: in sweep_string_variable, at protector.c:1158

The possible problem is the -fPIE CFLAG because using `gcc-config` to select i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardenednopiessp fixed the problem, and you can even remove from the ebuild:

if has_hardened; then
    filter-flags -fstack-protector -fstack-protector-all
fi
