1st

NOTE: If you have already installed wxGTK 2.5.4 or higher, jump directly into the second step, since wxGTK 2.5.4 includes wxBase 2.5.4. Note that amuled will not compile with earlier versions of wxWidgets, such as version 2.4.2!

Download wxBase 2.5.4 or higher from http://www.wxWidgets.org unpack it, and do as user

• ./configure --prefix=/usr/
• make

as root

• make install
• ldconfig

2nd

• Download amule-cvs from http://amule.hirnriss.net

Don't use version 2.0.0-rc8, there was a severe bug in it concerning aMuled!

Unpack it, and do as user

• ./configure --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-monolithic --enable-amule-daemon
• make

as root

• make install

Edit( I had to copy all wx lib files, libwx_base-2.5.so.4.0.0 and symlinks, from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib then it worked)

That's it. You now have a working aMule-daemon in /usr/local/bin
Now you need to configure it. To create the ~/.eMule file, which is the preferences file, run aMuled once.
The ~/.eMule file and the ~/.aMule directory will be creted in the home directory of the user that ran aMuled.
You probably want aMuleWeb to control your daemon. To be able to use that you need to enable External Connections. Check this article.
I know it's for 1.2.x but since you dont have a GUI to setup everything this is what you want.

Where to report problems and questions?

For Problems or Questions just report on aMule forum or join IRC channel #amule at irc.freenode.net
