See also general Compilation Installation
Are you sure you want to compile?
If not, (which is pretty common) decide if you want the aMule stable release or the aMule SVN release.
Debian
Official way
Install packages
The latest stable versions of aMule are in the official Debian repositories.
You can use Synaptic Package Manager (if you use GNOME) or Adept (if you use KDE). Then you must search and install amule package.
If you prefer to use the terminal, enter this command:
sudo aptitude install amule
If you prefer to download the aMule can do it manually from this website
Unofficial way
Vollstrecker maintains an unofficial repository for Stable and Testing branchs of Debian GNU/Linux.
Packages, of that repository, are GPG signed, so follow this step as root:
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net D63913EF50D0AE60
aMule stable release
You can just install latest stable aMule version adding the following lines into your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule-stable wx
or
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ stable amule-stable wx
If you have wx from somewhere else, you can ommit it in theses lines, but don't cry if it won't work.
Now run apt-get update && apt-get install amule
For the packages in the repo and how to get the key, look into the next section.
aMule SVN release
You can also get the latest aMule SVN through debs adding the following line into your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule
or
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ stable amule
If you need a recent Version of wx (2.8 atm), just append " wx" to the lines above. Be careful, between amule and wx is a space needed. If you only want wx binaries installed, replace amule with wx.
Now run aptitude update && aptitude install amule
You might also want to take a look at the other available aMule utilities:
- amule
- amule-alc
- amule-alcc
- amule-alcc-dbg
- amule-alc-dbg
- amule-cas
- amule-cas-dbg
- amule-cmd
- amule-cmd-dbg

- amule-utils
- amule-utils-gui
- amuleweb
- amuleweb-dbg
- amule-wxcas
- amule-wxcas-dbg
- amule-xas
For example, if you think aMule's Web interface rocks and you want to have it too, enter this line after the one above:
For aMule SVN and aMule stable: aptitude install amuleweb
If you still want to compile aMule instead of just installing a binary, keep reading...
Ubuntu
Official way
Install packages
The latest stable versions of aMule are in the official Ubuntu repositories.
You can use Synaptic Package Manager (if you use GNOME) or KPackageKit/Adept (if you use KDE). Then you must search and install amule package.
If you prefer to use the terminal, enter this command:
sudo aptitude install amule
If you prefer to download the aMule can do it manually from this website
Compile and install aMule
Info: What aMule release needs what wxwidgets release?
- Debian Etch includes aMule 2.1.3 and wxwidgets 2.6.3
- aMule 2.1.x needs wxwidgets 2.6. You cannot compile it with newer versions of wxwidgets.
- aMule 2.2.x needs wxwidgets 2.8. You cannot compile it with older versions of wxwidgets.
What developement packages do I need for compiling?
For compiling aMule SVN you need the following packages installed:
- libcrypto++-dev
- libgd2-xpm-dev
- libgeoip-dev
- libglib2.0-dev
- libpng12-dev
- libreadline5-dev
- libupnp3-dev
- libwxgtk2.8-dev
- wx2.8-i18n
- zlib1g-dev
Warning: 64 bit users need to install a libxcb >= 1.1.92 if they want long uptimes.
Preparing: Compiling and installing wxwidgets
This algorithm works for all Debian flavours.
Note: Recent versions of Ubuntu (Jaunty) have an (almost unpatched) libwxgtk good enough for use with aMule. Note that aMule developers require you compile your own wxWidgets.
To compile aMule, You need to have a current version of wxWidgets installed. To achieve that: Uninstall every possibly previously installed wxwidgets stuff (see How to uninstall wxWidgets and Check if wx is installed twice) You need the following packages installed:
- flex
- bison
- gettext
- libgtk2.0-dev
- python-all-dev (>= 2.4.3)
- python-all-dbg
- zlib1g-dev
- libjpeg62-dev
- libpng12-dev
- libtiff4-dev
- libsm-dev
- libgl1-mesa-dev or libgl-dev
- libglu1-mesa-dev or libglu-dev
- libesd0-dev
- libgnomeprintui2.2-dev
- libgconf2-dev
- libgstreamer0.10-dev
- libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
- bc
- Download current wxwidgets wxGTK stable release source code tar ball from http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
- $ tar xvzf wxgtk-version.tar.gz
- $ cd wxGTK-version
- $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-compat24 --enable-optimise
- $ make
- # make install
- # ldconfig
$ = command executed with normal user account
# = command executed with root account
Compiling and installing aMule
Now that You have installed current wxGTK, go on to compile aMule:
- Install the needed packages mentioned in "What developement packages do I need for compiling?"
- Download aMule source code tar ball from http://www.amule.org (note: For compiling aMule 2.1.3 you'll need a patch aviable HERE
- $ tar xvjf aMule-version.tar.bz2
- $ cd aMule-version
- To have a look what features of aMule You can enable or disable: $ ./configure --help
- You should be right with $ ./configure --disable-debug --enable-optimize
- $ make
- # make install
$ = command executed with normal user account
# = command executed with root account
That's it! Now You can start aMule with command "amule".
Building your own debian packages
First you have to get a source tarball. Note, that only aMule SVN and Releases of aMule 2.2.1 or later are able to build debain-packages directly.
First install all needed tools:
- build-essential
- debhelper
- libglib2.0-dev
- libgtk2.0-dev
- zlib1g-dev
- libwxgtk2.8-dev
- libgd2-xpm-dev
- bison
- flex
- libcrypto++-dev
- libreadline5-dev
- libgeoip-dev
- libupnp-dev
- devscripts
All commands after here are entered in the top-dir of the extracted aMule-source-tarball (usually .../amule-cvs or .../aMule-<version>)
Create a new changelog Entry with (the version in the changelog indicates the version your packages will get):
dch -v `date +%Y%m%d` New Upstream CVS Release
Now start the packages creation with:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b -rfakeroot
Now you have all created debian-packages in the parent dir of you source-dir and can install them with:
dpkg -i <package>
or build your own repository.
If you want to build just a few packages instead of all, you can obtain information about how this works with:
debian/rules help
You're done...
That's it! Your own compiled aMule is installed on your system and ready to go.
To run aMule, just type "amule". You can check if everything worked by typing "amule -v" and check if the displayed version corresponds with the one you were compiling/installing.
If this HowTo didn't help, you have a rare problem on your system ;-) Take a look at http://www.amule.org (aMule Forums at http://forum.amule.org ) or visit us in #amule on irc.freenode.net and (don't doubt) we'll try to do our best to help you.
Final notes
If you are in one of those rare cases when you wish to compile aMule statically, install also libtiff4-dev (through apt-get install libtiff4-dev). Anyway, this is NOT recommended and, in fact, will probably not do any better or even, not work at all.
