You shouldn't try to build CryptoPP on Ubuntu from source. The original CryptoPP headers are broken and cause a zillion warnings later building aMule. The Ubuntu developers provide fixed headers so you should use the lib that comes with it. However you should also install the cryptest tool and verify if CryptoPP really runs on your machine:

<code>sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-utils</code>

<code>cryptest v</code>

Leave out the --with-crypto-prefix when using the Ubuntu CryptoPP. Also leave out the --enable-upnp if you don't need UPnP (that is if you are able to set up port forwarding in your router).

== Info: What aMule release needs what wxwidgets release? ==
+
* Debian Etch includes aMule 2.1.3 and wxwidgets 2.6.3
+
 
+
* aMule 2.1.x needs wxwidgets 2.6. You cannot compile it with newer versions of wxwidgets.
+
* aMule 2.2.x needs wxwidgets 2.8. You cannot compile it with older versions of wxwidgets.
+
 
+
== What developement packages do I need for compiling? ==
+
For compiling [[aMule SVN]] you need the following packages installed:
+
 
+
* libcrypto++-dev
+
* libgd2-xpm-dev
+
* libgeoip-dev
+
* libglib2.0-dev
+

This algorithm works for all Debian flavours.

+
''Note: Recent versions of Ubuntu (Jaunty) have an (almost unpatched) libwxgtk good enough for use with aMule. Note that aMule developers require you compile your own wxWidgets.''

+
To compile aMule, You need to have a current version of [[wxWidgets]] installed. To achieve that:
+
Uninstall every possibly previously installed wxwidgets stuff (see [[How to uninstall wxWidgets]]
+
and [[Check if wx is installed twice]])
+
You need the following packages installed:
+
 
+
* flex
+
* bison
+
* gettext
+
* libgtk2.0-dev
+
* python-all-dev (>= 2.4.3)

# To have a look what features of aMule You can enable or disable: <tt>$ ./configure --help</tt>

# You should be right with <tt>$ ./configure --disable-debug --enable-optimize</tt>

# <tt># make install</tt>

$ = command executed with normal user account<br>

That's it! Now You can start aMule with command "amule".

== You're done... ==
+
That's it! Your own compiled [[aMule]] is installed on your system and ready to go.
+
 
+
To run [[aMule]], just type <code>"amule"</code>. You can check if everything worked by typing <code>"amule -v"</code> and check if the displayed version corresponds with the one you were compiling/installing.

If this HowTo didn't help, you have a rare problem on your system ;-) Take a look at http://www.amule.org (aMule Forums at http://forum.amule.org ) or visit us in #amule on irc.freenode.net and (don't doubt) we'll try to do our best to help you.

Now just run make and that's it! You can start aMule with command "/home/me/amule/bin/amule".

Revision as of 23:13, 19 September 2009

This page describes how to compile aMule and its required libraries CryptoPP and wxWidgets on Ubuntu 9.04. We will install everything in our home directory in this example. Make a directory where you want to build and install aMule (we will use /home/me/amule and I'll call it "amule").

Install packages

Use Synaptic Package Manager (if you use GNOME) or KPackageKit/Adept (if you use KDE) to install the following packages:

  • g++
  • binutils-dev
  • libcrypto++-dev
  • libgtk2.0-dev
  • libgd2-xpm-dev
  • libgeoip-dev
  • libupnp3-dev
  • zlib1g-dev

Build CryptoPP

You shouldn't try to build CryptoPP on Ubuntu from source. The original CryptoPP headers are broken and cause a zillion warnings later building aMule. The Ubuntu developers provide fixed headers so you should use the lib that comes with it. However you should also install the cryptest tool and verify if CryptoPP really runs on your machine:

sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-utils

cryptest v

If you still want to build it, download CryptoPP 5.6.0. Unzip it to /home/me/amule/cryptopp . Run make. Then run ./cryptest.exe v to validate it (it must print All tests passed!).

Build wxWidgets

Make directory amule/wx. Download latest stable wxGTK (2.8.10 writing this). Wx 2.9 is still experimental, if you feel adventurous you can try it (but only with aMule 2.3).

Extract it with tar xzf wxGTK-2.8.10.tar.gz. Make and cd to wx/build and run

../wxGTK-2.8.10/configure --prefix=/home/me/amule/wx --with-gtk --enable-unicode --enable-optimise --disable-shared

then make and make install .

Build aMule

Make dir and dowload source (I'm tired and will fix this), then

./configure --prefix=/home/me/amule/bin --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-denoise-level=3 --enable-upnp --enable-geoip --enable-nls --enable-amule-gui --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --enable-alcc -enable-alc --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-mmap --with-wx-config=/home/me/amule/wx/bin/wx-config --with-crypto-prefix=/home/me/amule/cryptopp

Leave out the --with-crypto-prefix when using the Ubuntu CryptoPP. Also leave out the --enable-upnp if you don't need UPnP (that is if you are able to set up port forwarding in your router).

Now just run make and that's it! You can start aMule with command "/home/me/amule/bin/amule".
