Also, if you plan to build a GUI-less core, you might want to take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109515, comment #3 contains a patch for wxGTK ebuild that removes the dependency on X.

It is no ebuild for the current [[aMule SVN]] so we need to add one in portage. For that, we will make use of a personal portage overlay. If you don't already have one, just follow this HOWTO article: [http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Creating_a_local_overlay Overlay: Creating_a_local_overlay]
1. Emerge package:
+
  emerge --sync
+
  emerge amule -pv
+
  emerge amule
+
  
=== amule-cvs ===
+
We will also follow the naming scheme of portage. SVN ebuild from a SVN tarball are not named as '''package_name-SVN''' but as '''package_name-version_date_of_the_tarball'''. That is to distinguish them from real SVN ebuilds (the so called live ebuilds) named as '''package_name-9999''' and using keywords="". As aMule is using the revision to name the tarball, we will use it for the '''version_date_of_the_tarball'''.
The current ebuilds for [[aMule CVS]] can be found [http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=5732 here]. Download it and continue with this wiki article.

I use here the tarball from 31 July 2009 revision 9732 that was working fine for me, but you can change the revision like you want. Be careful to choose a version number available on the [http://amule.sourceforge.net/tarballs/ tarballs page], otherwise your ebuild will fail.

7. Digest ebuild:
 
  ebuild amule-cvs-3.ebuild digest
 
  
8. Review installation flags:
+
5. Change directory:
   emerge amule-cvs -pv
+
   cd /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/amule/
  
9. Modify ''/etc/portage/package.use'' to suit your needs (please note that ''debug'' is enabled regardless of ''USE'' flag):
+
6. Copy the files directory from PORTAGE:
  net-p2p/amule-cvs X -amuled -debug gtk2 kad nls -nosystray -optimize -remote -remote-gui -stats unicode
+
  cp -r /usr/portage/net-p2p/amule/files files
  
This would install amule without deamon and remote support.
+
7. Remove the unneeded files:
To activate deamons and remote options, leave out the '-' like this:
+
  rm files/*.patch
  
   net-p2p/amule-cvs X amuled -debug gtk2 kad nls -nosystray -optimize remote remote-gui -stats unicode
+
8. Digest the ebuild:
 +
   ebuild amule-9732.ebuild digest
  
As aMule needs unicode support or it won't compile, you might also want to add a line to enable unicode in x11-libs/wxGTK
+
9. As you can see, this ebuild depend on x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.12 which is not yet in portage. You can find it at [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363319 Gentoo's Bugzilla – Bug 363319]. What you have to do is to dpwnload the ebuild from bugzilla and put it into the x11-libs/wxGTK directory of your overlay. You must also copy the files directory from PORTAGE and digest the ebuild:
   x11-libs/wxGTK unicode
+
   cd /usr/local/portage/x11-libs/wxGTK
 +
  cp -r /usr/portage/x11-libs/wxGTK/files files
 +
  ebuild wxGTK-2.8.12.ebuild digest
  
10. Install [[aMule CVS]]:
+
10. Review installation flags:
   emerge amule-cvs
+
   emerge amule -pv
  
'''PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE''' do ''emerge amule-cvs -pv'' before installing to determine how you want to compile [[aMule]].
+
11. Modify ''/etc/portage/package.use'' to suit your needs (please note that ''debug'' is enabled regardless of ''USE'' flag):
 +
  net-p2p/amule -amuled -debug geoip gtk nls -remote -stats unicode
  
11. Finally, as this is a CVS version, it's to be run with special care, so you need to modify the init.script with the correct option.
+
This would install amule without deamon and remote support.
Currently this is ''--i-would-marry-my-mule'' as seen in this output of a trial run (run ''amuled'' on command line):
+
To activate deamons and remote options, leave out the '-' like this:
  amuled: OnInit - starting timer
+
  This binary requires you to use the flag --i-would-marry-my-mule and only if you're very sure of it. Warning: not legal on most countries.''
+
  
So, edit the init.d script:
+
   net-p2p/amule amuled -debug geoip gtk nls remote -stats unicode
  vi /etc/init.d/amuled
+
and change line 28 to
+
   -x /usr/bin/amuled -- --i-would-marry-my-mule >${LOG} 2>&1
+
  
12. make sure that all lockfiles of previous runs are removed:
+
As aMule needs unicode support or it won't compile, you might also want to add a line to enable unicode in x11-libs/wxGTK
   rm /var/run/amule*.pid ~/.aMule/muleLock
+
   x11-libs/wxGTK unicode
  
13. Finally start the deamon.
+
12. Install [[aMule SVN]]:
   /etc/init.d/amuled start
+
   emerge amule
Use ''amulecmd'' or webinterface (start amuleweb) to control.
+
  
Note that ''/var/log/amuled'' does '''NOT''' contain any log entries from amuled itself, as it is forked into the background right of the start and this file only may contain any errors the ''start-stop-deamon'' encounters before that.
+
'''PLEASE''' do ''emerge amule -pv'' before installing to determine how you want to compile [[aMule]].
  
To view the log, use:
+
13. As other programs can depend on wxGTK, it can be a good opportunity to update your system as usual. emerge --sync, and so on as explained into the handbook.

==== Possible crash ====
When compiling aMule-2.1.1 on a hardened system with gcc-3.4.5(at least), it will fail with something like:
+
On my ~amd64 system, I get a crash at amule startup with recent libcrypto++ versions.
  WebServer.h: In member function `T* UpdatableItemsContainer<T, G, I>::GetByID(I) [with T = SharedFile, G = CEC_SharedFile_Tag, I = CMD4Hash]':
+
To avoid it, mask it into /etc/portage/package.mask:
  WebServer.h:270: internal compiler error: in sweep_string_variable, at protector.c:1158
+
  echo =dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.0 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
 +
echo =dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.0-r1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
 +
  echo dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
 +
emerge -a crypto++ amule
 +
revdep-rebuild
 +
Revdep-rebuild didn't find anything into my system, but it is safer to run it anyway.
  
The possible problem is the -fPIE CFLAG because using `gcc-config` to select ''i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardenednopiessp'' fixed the problem, and you can even remove from the ebuild:
+
Another solution is to use the ebuild and the patch in [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322713 bug 322713] for merging the last version of libcrypto++.

English version updated: 01.08.2009 - Newest Gentoo Version are now 2.2.5.

Introduction

Gentoo is known for choices. As such, aMule comes in a variety of versions. This article will cover the installation of the last PORTAGE version, and of aMule SVN through a personal overlay.

Methods of Installation

amule-2.2.5.ebuild

This ebuild matches the 2.2.5 stable aMule release, it is available 28.08.2009 in portage.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8*; >=dev-libs/crypto++-5.5.2; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1

Conditional dependencies: >=dev-libs/geoip for geoip support; >=net-libs/libupnp for Intel UPnP stack support; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.0 for remote support; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26 for unicode support and or statistic reporting.

Installation instructions

amule-2.2.5.ebuild

1. Show what will be done:

 emerge -pv amule

2. Adjust your USE flags for amule into /etc/portage/package.use

3. Emerge amule:

 emerge -a amule

amule SVN

It is no ebuild for the current aMule SVN so we need to add one in portage. For that, we will make use of a personal portage overlay. If you don't already have one, just follow this HOWTO article: Overlay: Creating_a_local_overlay

We will also follow the naming scheme of portage. SVN ebuild from a SVN tarball are not named as package_name-SVN but as package_name-version_date_of_the_tarball. That is to distinguish them from real SVN ebuilds (the so called live ebuilds) named as package_name-9999 and using keywords="". As aMule is using the revision to name the tarball, we will use it for the version_date_of_the_tarball.

1. Define PORTDIR_OVERLAY. Open up /etc/make.conf with your favourite text editor and define the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable. We will use:

 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

2. Create overlay for amule-svn:

 mkdir -p /usr/local/net-p2p/amule

3. Add to package.keywords:

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

4. Copy the following ebuild into {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule/amule-9732.ebuild

I use here the tarball from 31 July 2009 revision 9732 that was working fine for me, but you can change the revision like you want. Be careful to choose a version number available on the tarballs page, otherwise your ebuild will fail.

The SVN ebuild

ChangeLog:

  • 01-08-2009 Initial SVN ebuild
  • 04-08-2009 Updated DEPEND + RDEPEND
  • 27-08-2009 Updated for the 2_2_X trunk
  • 12-04-2011 USE flag change
  • 16-04-2011 Updated to EAPI="3
  • 14-10-2011 Workaround debian specific test with USE=plasma
  • 04-05-2012 Plasma need kde4-base that need EAPI="3" (Change in portage?). Fix it.

For more details, see the forum thread.

8. Digest the ebuild:

 ebuild amule-9732.ebuild digest

9. As you can see, this ebuild depend on x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.12 which is not yet in portage. You can find it at Gentoo's Bugzilla – Bug 363319. What you have to do is to dpwnload the ebuild from bugzilla and put it into the x11-libs/wxGTK directory of your overlay. You must also copy the files directory from PORTAGE and digest the ebuild:

 cd /usr/local/portage/x11-libs/wxGTK
 cp -r /usr/portage/x11-libs/wxGTK/files files
 ebuild wxGTK-2.8.12.ebuild digest

10. Review installation flags:

 emerge amule -pv

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

 net-p2p/amule -amuled -debug geoip gtk nls -remote -stats unicode

This would install amule without deamon and remote support. To activate deamons and remote options, leave out the '-' like this:

 net-p2p/amule amuled -debug geoip gtk nls remote -stats unicode

As aMule needs unicode support or it won't compile, you might also want to add a line to enable unicode in x11-libs/wxGTK

 x11-libs/wxGTK unicode

12. Install aMule SVN:

 emerge amule

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

13. As other programs can depend on wxGTK, it can be a good opportunity to update your system as usual. emerge --sync, and so on as explained into the handbook.

Possible crash

On my ~amd64 system, I get a crash at amule startup with recent libcrypto++ versions. To avoid it, mask it into /etc/portage/package.mask:

echo =dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.0 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
echo =dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.0-r1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
echo dev-libs/crypto++-5.6.1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge -a crypto++ amule
revdep-rebuild

Revdep-rebuild didn't find anything into my system, but it is safer to run it anyway.

Another solution is to use the ebuild and the patch in bug 322713 for merging the last version of libcrypto++.

Update: It look like to be fixed. If it should append again with the same crypto++ version, please ask to reopen this bug.
