Installing aMule on Slackware
Someone should check how recent this Article is, and update it for 2.1.3 or better 2.2.0

NOTE: you will need super-user (usually root) access to complete aMule install/uninstallation/update, further you should have at least checkinstall installed.
Installation
Installing wxGTK
- Download wxGTK sources (.tar.gz packages) from
- www.wxwidgets.org, latest is 2.6.2 as of 21st of Dec 05
- tar -xzvf wxGTK*
- cd wxGTK*
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-unicode
- make
- After make finishes, it's about time to install the new files.
- Usually this is done by becomming root and invoking
- # make install
- But: even better, use checkinstall or read up on how to
- properly make Slackware packages on slackwiki.org.
- checkinstall and selfmade packages can be handled by slackware's package
- tools, which make upgrading and removing old cruft from previous
- installs a breeze.
- If the Slackwiki howto is a little too much for, stick to checkinstall for
- the moment: become root
- $ su -
- then just call
- # checkinstall
- Just answer the questions and you're done.
Installing wxBase (Optional)
- If you downloaded wxGTK earlier than version 2.5 and you are planning to use aMule with command line interface (such as aMuleCMD, aMuleWeb, aMuled, etc), then you you should install wxBase. In any other case, there's no need at all.
- Download wxBase sources (.tar.gz packages) from http://www.amule-project.net or http://www.amule.org and do the following:
- tar -xzvf wxBase*
- cd wxBase*
- ./configure
- make
- #the following command must be run as super-user (usually root):
- make install
Installing aMule
- Grab pre-built Slackware package from linuxpackages.net.
- installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc7-i686-1.tgz (or whatever the newest version is)
- That's all!
Updating
- The following command will remove the old aMule package and install the new version:
- upgradepkg aMule-2.0.0rc7-i686-1.tgz
Compiling aMule from src
- Sometimes you might feel an urge to go cvs or simply don't want
- to use prepackaged binaries because of paranoia, the packagers
- are dodos or whatever.
- Download a src tarball at amule.org.
- tar xzvf or tar xjvf the tarball.
- Enter the dir
- I use this configure call:
- ./configure --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd \
- --enable-amulecmdgui --enable-webserver --enable-amule-gui \
- --enable-cas --enable-alcc --enable-kad-compile --prefix=/usr
- this will give you the core, the monolithic, the webserver,
- the stats program, the link handler, and... about everything.
- after that, run make and in the lucky case it finishes without
- errors, follow installation instructions from wxGTK above.
Uninstallation
- The following command will remove aMule:
- removepkg aMule
Final note
You can even get wxBase and wxGTK .tgz Slackware packages and install them with 'installpkg'. Using the Slackware package manager saves time during installation and makes upgrading easy. You can also type 'pkgtool' as root and then search for the packages you have downloaded and install and/or remove packages.
Enjoy the hard work aMule developers have done and continue to do!
Just remember you will need wxBase and wxGTK installed even when using Slackware package.
Hope this helps.
