This how-to explains the way to install and compile aMule on Mandrake 10 by using urpmi. I guess it would work in any other Mandrake version but I haven't tried it.

Always remember:

The problem when installing aMule on Mandrake] 10 (and 9.X), is that wxGTK official Mandrake package is linked against GTK2 and aMule needs it to be linked against GTK1. The solution is to use the wx RPM packages from the aMule website.

This can be done following the compilation how-to in the wiki of aMule, but when doing it with urpmi, you have the advantage of controlling the version conflict between Mandrake's wxGTK package and aMule's website package every time you update your system.

There are others packages needed to install aMule on Mandrake. However, in this case, Mandrake official packages are fine. These packages are:


curl
libcrypto
libgd <----- this is needed only to use the -o option of CAS. If you're not going to use that option, you don't have to install it.


If you also want to compile aMule, you must install the devel packages corresponding to those:

curl-devel
libcrypto-devel
libgd-devel


To install all this packages, you must have well-configured urpmi sources (look easyurpmi or urpmidor to verify). If you have them well-configured, you only must do:

urpmi curl
urpmi libcrypto
urpmi libgd

urpmi curl-devel
urpmi libcrypto-devel
urpmi libgd-devel


Let's start


1. Create a directory to put in wxGTK and wxBase RPM packages from the aMule website.


mkdir /home/user/RPMS

copy there:

wxGTK-2.4.2.rpm
wxBase-2.4.2.rpm
aMule-2.0.0rc3-MDK_9.2-10.rpm OR aMule-1.2.6-MDK_9.2-10.rpm

if you also want to compile aMule you must also copy:

wxGTK-devel-2.4.2.rpm


2. Get in the new directory,

cd /home/user/RPMS

and run genhdlist to create hdlist.cz:

genhdlist


3. Add that directory as a new source to urpmi

urpmi.addmedia dirRPMS file://home/user/RPMS with hdlist.cz


4. Go to RPMDRAKE -> Remove Software, and search for wx. Select wxBase, wxGTK and wxGTK-devel and remove all of them from your computer. If your computer doesn't find any of them, it just wasn't installed, so there's no need to remove it ;)


5. Install wxGTK packages from dirRPMS source by doing:

urpmi wxGTK-2.4.2

if you also want to compile aMule you must also install

urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2

6. Install wxBase package

urpmi wxBase-2.4.2

Make sure you install the right packages from dirRPMS copying their exact name after urpmi.

urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2

then you must create the following symbolic links:

ln -sf /usr/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config /usr/bin/wx-config
ln -sf /usr/bin/wxbase-2.4-config /usr/bin/wxbase-config


7. Now you can do

urpmi aMule-2.0.0rc3-MDK_9.2-10.rpm

OR

urpmi aMule-1.2.6-MDK_9.2-10.rpm

or compile aMule from the sources .tar.gz

Following this how-to, you get an easy way to install back all of the packages that urpmi will remove each time you update your system with urpmi --auto-select.

After updating the system with urpmi you must remove back wxBase (and wxGTK if it also changes it), and then install the packages from dirRPMS as we have done before.
