HowTo Compile aMuled

English | Español | Nederlands | Français | Deutsch

1st

NOTE: In order to compile aMule 2.1.0 or higher you need wx 2.6.x.

Download wxBase 2.6.1 or higher from http://www.wxWidgets.org unpack it, and do as user

• ./configure --prefix=/usr/

NOTE: If you want Unicode support you need to give the --enable-unicode flag to the configure script.

• make

as root

• make install
• ldconfig

If you are running an Ubuntu or Debian installation simply install 'libwxgtk2.6-0 and 'libwxgtk2.6-dev packages. This will install a complete X-server as well. This is due to the fact that Debian does not provide a simple wxBase package

2nd

• Download aMule 2.1.0 or higher from http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=24

Unpack it, and do as user

• ./configure --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-monolithic --enable-amule-daemon
• make

as root

• make install

That's it. You now have a working aMule-daemon in /usr/local/bin
Now you need to configure it. To create the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file, which is the preferences file, run aMuled once.
The ~/.aMule directory and the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file will be created in the home directory of the user that ran aMuled.

NOTE: In aMule versions previous to 2.0.0 the ~/.aMule/amule.conf file was ~/.eMule.

You probably want aMuleWeb to control your daemon. To be able to use that you need to enable External Connections. Check this article.
Also read the aMuled FAQ, since some setup things are mentioned there.
