Introduction

Gentoo is known for choices. Unfortunately, some choices require more labor than others. As such, aMule comes in a variety of versions and installation methods based on what version of wxGTK you decide to use...

Methods of Installation

amule-1.2.8.ebuild

This ebuild is marked as stable for x86 platforms.

This aMule version is well over a year old and lacks many features. It depends on wxGTK compiled against gtk v1. aMule devs highly discourage use of this version but if you insist upon using it, simply emerge it. Be warned that support is probably limited.

Dependancies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2; >=net-misc/curl-7.11.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1
Status: No further development; in Portage

amule-2.0.0_rc7.ebuild

This ebuild is marked as unstable for all architectures.

This is an aging version. This is the last version that will compile with wxGTK compiled against gtk v1. It also compiles with wxGTK 2.4.2 or greater compiled against gtk v2.

Dependancies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2; >=net-misc/curl-7.11.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26
Status: No further development; in Portage

amule-2.0.3.ebuild

This ebuild is marked as unstable for all architectures.

This ebuild matches the most current, stable aMule release.

Dependancies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2; sys-devel/gettext; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.8; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.32
Status: No further development; in Portage

amule-cvs

This ebuild is marked as unstable for all architectures.

Not intended for the general public. If you'd like to test out the daily development snapshot, then this is the version for you.

Dependancies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.0
Status: In development; not in Portage; requires portage overlay

Installation instructions

amule-1.2.8.ebuild

1. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag). Remember, since this version requires wxGTK compiled against gtk v1, you must compile without gtk2.

 net-p2p/amule debug gtk2 nls remote

2. Emerge package.

 $ emerge amule -pv
 $ emerge amule

amule-2.0.0_rc7.ebuild

1. Add packages to package.keywords

 echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

2. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag).

 net-p2p/amule debug gtk2 nls remote stats unicode gd

3. Emerge package.

 $ emerge amule -pv
 $ emerge amule

amule-2.0.3.ebuild

1. Add packages to package.keywords

 echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

2. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag).

 net-p2p/amule amuled debug gtk2 nls remote stats unicode

3. Emerge package.

 $ emerge amule -pv
 $ emerge amule

amule-cvs

The current ebuilds for aMule CVS can be found here. Download it and continue with this wiki article.

1. Define PORTAGE_OVERLAY. Open up /etc/make.conf with your favourite text editor and define the PORTAGE_OVERLAY variable. The default is:

 PORTAGE_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

2. Create overlay for amule-cvs-2

 $ mkdir -p {PORTAGE_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs-2

3. Add to package.keywords

 echo "net-p2p/amule-cvs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

4. Copy amule-cvs-2.ebuild to {PORTAGE_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs-2

5. Change directory

 $ cd {PORTAGE_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs-2/

6. Touch file's timestamp

 $ touch amule-cvs-2.ebuild

7. Digest ebuild

 $ ebuild amule-cvs-2.ebuild digest

8. Review installation flags

 $ emerge amule-cvs -pv

9. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag)

 net-p2p/amule-svn X -amuled -debug gtk2 kad nls -nosystray -optimize -remote -remote-gui -stats unicode

10. Install aMule CVS

 $ emerge amule-cvs

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do "emerge amule-cvs -pv" before installing to determine how you want to compile aMule.

Information on wxGTK

wxGTK 2.5.3 - 2.6.0

If you want to use amuled then you need, at least, wxGTK2.5.3. Currently, the only version not hard masked in Portage is wxGTK 2.4.2 due to problems when compiling with OpenGL support in wxGTK 2.5.3. But as aMule is no 3D egoshooter, we can safely disable OpenGL support and use it anyway. To do so enter the following into a console as root:

mkdir /etc/portage (this may give you an error if the directory already exists, just ignore that) echo 'x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

If you want to use GTK1.2 (recommended):
echo 'x11-libs/wxGTK -gtk2 -unicode -opengl' >> /etc/portage/package.use

If you want to use GTK2 (not thoroughly tested yet):
echo 'x11-libs/wxGTK -unicode -opengl' >> /etc/portage/package.use

emerge -av wxGTK

Note: There are two ebuilds available for amule-cvs. A version with >=wxGTK 2.6.0 support and a version with <=wxGTK 2.5.3 support. Please use the correct version depending on what version of wxGTK you choose to use. Of course, wxGTK >= 2.6.0 is recommended.

wxGTK 2.4.2

If you don't want to use the aMule daemon, wxGTK2.4.2 is just fine for. You only need to tell it that it should link against GTK1.2. To do this grab a console and enter (as root):

mkdir /etc/portage (this may give you an error if the directory already exists, just ignore that) echo 'x11-libs/wxGTK -gtk2 -unicode' >> /etc/portage/package.use emerge -av wxGTK

This should (re-)emerge wxGTK2.4.2 linked against GTK1.2. Now you can go on to compiling aMule.

-== Stable [[aMule]] from portage ==
+== Information on wxGTK ==
+=== [[wxGTK]] 2.5.3 - 2.6.0 ===
-If you just ''emerge amule'' you will install the version of [[aMule]] that [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo] considers stable. This version is amule-1.2.8 which is over 12 months old, lacks several bugfixes and features which could seriously lower your downloads or make it impossible to connect to some servers. So this option is not really a good option.
-== Unstable [[aMule]] from portage ==
-The most current ebuild for [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo] is ''net-p2p/amule-2.0.1.ebuild'' (masked by keyword). Version 2.0.1 depends on ''>=wxGTK2.5.3'' (masked by keyword) to build the [[aMuled|aMule daemon]]. wxGTK 2.6.0 is suggested.
-<code>mkdir /etc/portage<br>
-echo 'net-p2p/amule ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords<br>
-emerge -av amule</code>
-== Recent [[aMule]] manual installation ==
-By default, [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo] uses ''gtk2'' in all recent profiles. When it comes to [[wxGTK]] (which is needed by [[aMule]]), this can be some trouble. The recent stable [[wxGTK]] in portage is ''wxGTK2.4.2'' which should never be linked against ''GTK2''. It causes random crashes, freezes, unpredictable behaviour and may even harm your pet dog!
-So there are two possible ways to go: choose ''wxGTK2.4.2'' linked against ''GTK1.2'' (which should be fine for everybody who doesn't want to use [[aMuled]], the [[aMuled|aMule daemon]]) or choose ''wxGTK2.5.3'' linked either against ''GTK1.2'' or ''GTK2'' (for those who want to try [[aMuled]] as [[aMuled]] doesn't work with [[wxGTK]] prior to 2.5.3).
-Another thing is unicode support: You can't enable unicode support when using ''GTK1.2'' and enabling unicode with ''GTK2'' causes huge memleaks (100MB and more in 24h). So I will just disable it in these examples.
-== [[wxGTK]] 2.5.3 - 2.6.0 ==
 If you want to use amuled then you need, at least, ''wxGTK2.5.3''. Currently, the only version not hard masked in Portage is [[wxGTK]] 2.4.2 due to problems when compiling with [http://www.opengl.org OpenGL] support in [[wxGTK]] 2.5.3.

-== Compiling [[aMule]] from source ==
-Grab either ''amule-2.0.3'' from http://www.aMule.org or (specially if you want to use [[aMuled]]) a recent [[aMule CVS|CVS tarball]] from http://amule.hirnriss.net. Untar it by entering <code>tar -xvjf aMule-foo.tar.bz2</code> and go into the newly created directory.
-Review <code>./configure --help</code> (or [[configure|this article]]) for a summary of all configure options. Pick the ones you want and run (as an example building, the monolithic client and [[aMuleCMD]])<br>
-<code>./configure --enable-amulecmd</code>
-Review the configure output for errors and if everything seems fine type <code>make</code>. Once [[aMule]] is done compiling change to a root account and type <code>make install</code> to install [[aMule]]. Now you're done and can start enjoying your [[aMule]] experience.
