Install aMule 2.2.4 on FreeBSD 6.X, 7.X

Check that your /usr/ports is up-to-date, for example using portsnap:

          portsnap fetch update

(you may need portsnap extract then portsnap update)

Upgrade the FreeBSD 6.X (not needed on FreeBSD 7.X) flex release (2.5.4) with the new one (2.5.35):

           cd  /usr/ports/textproc/flex
           make install clean

This installation didn't override the old /usr/bin/, but put a new release on /usr/local/bin/.

Then we need to rename the old flex release:

           mv /usr/bin/flex /usr/bin/flex.old

And check your version with this command:

           flex --version

You should obtain: 2.5.35 (or newer)

Install wxgtk28:

           cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/wxgtk28-unicode/
           make install clean

Install cryptopp:

           cd /usr/ports/security/cryptopp
           make install clean

Install GD:

           cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd
           make install clean

Install GeoIP:

           cd /usr/ports/net/GeoIP/
           make install clean

Download the aMule 2.2.4 source code here.

           tar -zxvf aMule-2.2.4.tar.bz2
           cd aMule-2.2.2/

You need to edit the file src/Scanner.l and after the line:

           #include <wx/string.h>

Add the line:

           #include "Scanner.h.in"

Configure some environement variable, for bash user:

           export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
           export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

Or for csh user (default under FreeBSD):

           setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/local/include"
           setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"

Then start the compilation:

           ./configure --prefix=/home/user/aMule-2.2.4/ \
           --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-2.8-config --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/ \
           --disable-debug --with-curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config --enable-webserver  \
           --enable-optimize --with-included-gettext --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd \
           --enable-cas --enable-alcc --enable-geoip

NOTE: Check configure. Also, change user for your user name.

           gmake
           gmake install

And start it:

          ./amule-2.2.4/bin/amule &
