Talk:HowTo Compile In Debian/Ubuntu

From AMule Project FAQ
Jump to: navigation, search

To successully compile aMule in my Sarge I had to create a link like this:

ln -s /usr/include/crypto++ /usr/include/cryptopp

because the make process searchs for config.h in cryptopp directory, not in crypto++.

They might have hanged the pathnames again. Thanks for the info :-)
The problem is that both crypto++ and Debian's crypto++ package have been changing the pathnames in order to suit, and this has become a mess. hehehe
Anyway, since next aMule release (it is currenly already implemented into aMule CVS) crypto++ will no longer be needed since it's necessary functions have been coded into aMule.
Again, thanks for the info!


28/09/04 - stk : A small error in step 8 : remplace "ls -s /usr/include/crypto++ /usr/include/cryptopp" by "ln -s /usr/include/crypto++ /usr/include/cryptopp" ;)

Thanx a lot! Fixed.


other info : In my Sarge, with libcrypto++5.1_5.1-5_i386.deb and libcrypto++-dev_5.1-5_i386.deb package, I have an error : ld cannot find lcryptopp..

so, I have made a link with this command : "ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto++5.1.so /usr/lib/libcryptopp.so" and run ldconfig -> it work !

I completly forgot to answer to you :-( i added your comment to the howto some long time ago. thanks :)


jeremie :

Installing 200rc6 is a piece of cake with your advices. (sarge on 20041019)

No more fuss about crypto++ and so on, just apt-get the packages, then configure / make / make install.

It takes 5 minutes.

Thanks for the names of the dependancies.

Very much thanks for your words! Makes me feel batter :)


Works just fine in Ubuntu

I just wanted to let you know that this HowTo also applies just fine to "HowTo Compile in Unbuntu". Sure, anyone would have probably guessed that, but I can confirm it now... :-)

Hey! Thanx! THat is indeed an important note since Ubunto is being so successful and popular lately. I'll try to fix it somewhere to link ubunto users there too :)


Hi, I had problems with the libcurl2-dev. Is libcurl3-dev the actual package?

Yes, you can use libcurl3-dev without any problems. In fact, thatnks for the note, i just changed it to point to liburl3 in the guide ;-)


17/05/2005 Hi, I don't want compile amule :-), so I add deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule and

deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing wx in my  /etc/apt/sources.list. But apt-get update && apt-get install amule don't work... I find an error in http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule/binary-i386/Packages.gz

. In fact, Packages.gz is broken!!!

Please contact Vollstrecker in http://forum.amule.org or mail him. He is the deb packager for CVS builds. Thanks :-)
