HowTo Compile aMuled
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
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.
NOTE: Since a couple days and from now on, there will be no .eMule file anymore! The new Config-File will be amule.conf in your ~/.aMule directory!!!
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.
