Lines beginning with a # character are comments on what the following lines do.
# install Xcode Tools # http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/ # Getting ADC ID > Log In > Download Software > Developer Tools > Download Xcode Tools last release > Install # make amule dir in home cd ~ mkdir amule cd amule # get source from the internet and unpack it curl -O http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz curl -O http://download.berlios.de/amule/crypto-5.2.1.tar.bz2 curl -O http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0rc5.tar.gz tar -xzf aMule-2.0.0rc5.tar.gz tar -xjf crypto-5.2.1.tar.bz2 tar -xzf wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz # remove downloaded archives after unpacking rm wxMac-2.5.2.tar.gz crypto-5.2.1.tar.bz2 aMule-2.0.0rc5.tar.gz # install wxMac cd wxMac-2.5.2 # directory "build" should already be there. if not, create it with # "mkdir build": cd build ../configure make sudo make install cd .. cd .. # install libcrypto cd crypto-5.2.1 make # unfortunately, "sudo make install" isn't possible under crypto-5.2.1 # anymore :-(. So you have to libcryptopp.a to /usr/lib yourself: sudo cp libcryptopp.a /usr/lib cd .. mv crypto-5.2.1 cryptopp sudo ranlib /usr/lib/libcryptopp.a # install fink # http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fink/Fink-0.7.0-Installer.dmg sudo apt-get install gtk+ sudo apt-get install gtk+-shlibs sudo apt-get install gd209 sudo apt-get install gd209-bin sudo apt-get install gd209-shlibs sudo apt-get install libjpeg sudo apt-get install libpng3 # install aMule cd aMule-2.0.0rc5 ./configure --disable-systray --disable-gsocket --disable-gtk --with-wx-prefix=/usr/local --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wx-config --with-crypto-prefix=/Users/YOUR_NAME_HOME/amule/ make cd .. # create app-Container curl -O http://one2one.no.sapo.pt/amule.zip unzip amule.zip rm amule.zip cp aMule-2.0.0rc5/src/amule amule.app/Contents/MacOS/ # move amule to your Applications folder mv amule.app /Applications
If you get an error like this: You cannot open the application "amule" because it may be damaged or incomplete, right click on amule then click on Show Packages Contents, go to Contents>MacOS> and double click on amule. Next time you start from amule.app it will run fine. If you still get the same error, move amule.app to the desktop and run it from there.
