Using another wxinstall

If there's already a version of wxWidgets installed, but you want aMule to use another (probably newer) one, here are the steps to follow:

First, create the target directory, where wxWidgets and aMule will reside (they don't need to be in the same dir, but it makes life easier). Then configure wxWidgets and aMule accordingly (assuming wxWidgets 2.5.2 and current (=>20040801) aMule CVS).

NOTE: If you use the recommended /home/muli, you will most probably need root rights for that, everything else is done as regular user (remember: never work as root!).

in wxWidgets source dir:

mkdir /home/muli/BUILD
./configure --prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --enable-unicode --enable-gtk2
make && make install

In aMule source dir:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/muli/BUILD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --enable-debug --with-wx-prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --with-wx-config=/home/muli/BUILD/bin/wxgtk2u-2.5-config
make && make install

To start aMule, you need to explicitely specifiy the LD path each time you run it:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/muli/BUILD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8
gdb /home/muli/BUILD/bin/amule
gdb>handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
gdb>handle SIG32 nostop noprint pass
gdb>run
