HowTo Compile aMuled
1st
NOTE 1: In order to compile aMule 2.2.0 or higher you need wx 2.8.x.
NOTE 2: In order to compile aMule 2.1.3 with wx-2.8.x you need a Patch available here
NOTE 3: I had success with wxall (a.k.a. wxWidgets) instead of using wxBase --Felipe1982 06:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Download wxBase 2.8.1 or higher from http://www.wxWidgets.org unpack it, and do as user
- ./configure --disable-gui --enable-unicode --without-subdirs --without-expat
- make
as root
- make install
- ldconfig
2nd
Download aMule
Unpack it
Patch aMule (for versions 2.1.3 and older)
- 'mv' the patch file into the extracted aMule directory
- type: patch -p1 < name_of_the_patch_file
As user type:
- ./configure --disable-monolithic --with-toolkit=base --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver
- make
as root
- make install
That's it. You now have a working aMule-daemon in /usr/local/bin
Now you need to configure it. To create the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file, which is the preferences file, run aMuled once.
The ~/.aMule directory and the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file will be created in the home directory of the user that ran aMuled.
- NOTE: In aMule versions previous to 2.0.0 the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file was ~/.eMule.
- NOTE: In aMule versions previous to 2.0.0 the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file was ~/.eMule.
You probably want aMuleWeb to control your daemon. To be able to use that you need to enable External Connections. Check this article.
Also read the aMuled FAQ, since some setup things are mentioned there.
