This how-to explains the way to install and compile [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] 10.0 by using [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi]. I guess it would work in any other [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] version but I haven't tried it.

There is 2 ways to do it now, for [[aMule]] until 2.0.0rc5 and for versions above (beginning at rc6).

This is because we can link [[aMule]] with wx-2.5.x from 2.0.0rc6

There are others packages needed to install [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]. However, in this case, [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] official packages are fine. These packages are:

'''curl'''<br>
'''libgd''' <----- this is needed only to use the ''-o'' option of [[CAS]]. If you're not going to use that option, you don't have to install it.

If you also want to compile [[aMule]], you must install the devel packages corresponding to those:

'''curl-devel'''<br>
'''libgd-devel'''<br>

To install all this packages, you must have well-configured [http://urpmi.org urpmi] sources (look [http://easyurpmi.zarb.org easyurpmi] or [http://bailandodesvan.webcindario.com/urpmidor urpmidor] to verify). If you have them well-configured, you only must do:

''urpmi curl''<br>
''urpmi libgd''

''urpmi curl-devel''<br>
''urpmi libgd-devel''

Let's start

<h1>[[aMule]] version <= 2.0.0rc5 (For 9.2-10.0 only)</h1>

Always remember:
<ul>
<li><font color=#ff0000>NEVER</font> use [[wxWidgets]] packages provided by Official [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] (Any versions)</li>
<li><font color=#ff0000>NEVER</font> use [[wxWidgets]] packages provided by the [http://plf.zarb.org PLF]</li>
</ul>

The problem when installing [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]] 10 (and 9.X), is that [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] official [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] package is linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK2] and [[aMule]] needs it to be linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK1]. The solution is to use the [[wxWidgets|wx]] RPM packages from the [http://dl.amule.org aMule website].

This can be done following the [[Compilation_Installation|compilation how-to]] in the [[Main_Page|wiki of aMule]], but when doing it with [http://urpmi.org urpmi], you have the advantage of controlling the version conflict between [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]'s [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] package and [[aMule]]'s [http://dl.amule.org website] package every time you update your system.
1. Create a directory to put in [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] and [[wxBase]] RPM packages from the [[aMule]] [http://dl.amule.org website].

''mkdir /home/user/RPMS''

copy there:

'''wxGTK-2.4.2.rpm'''<br>
'''wxBase-2.4.2.rpm'''<br>
'''aMule-2.0.0rc5-MDK_9.2-10.rpm'''

if you also want to compile [[aMule]] you must also copy:

'''wxGTK-devel-2.4.2.rpm'''

2. Get in the new directory,

''cd /home/user/RPMS''

and run ''genhdlist'' to create ''hdlist.cz'':

''genhdlist''

3. Add that directory as a new source to [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi]

''urpmi.addmedia dirRPMS file://home/user/RPMS with hdlist.cz''

4. Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Remove Software''', and search for ''[[wxWidgets|wx]]''. Select ''wxBase'', ''wxGTK'' and ''wxGTK-devel'' and remove all of them from your computer. If your computer doesn't find any of them, it just wasn't installed, so there's no need to remove it ;)<br>
Make sure you uninstall '''all''' [[wxWidgets]], since it could happen that more than one version is installed.

5. Install [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] packages from dirRPMS source by doing:

''urpmi wxGTK-2.4.2''

if you also want to compile [[aMule]] you must also install

''urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2''

6. Install [[wxBase]] package

''urpmi wxBase-2.4.2''

Make sure you install the right packages from dirRPMS copying their exact name after [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi].

''urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2''

then you must create the following symbolic links:

''ln -sf /usr/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config /usr/bin/wx-config''<br>
''ln -sf /usr/bin/wxbase-2.4-config /usr/bin/wxbase-config''

7. Now you can do

''urpmi aMule-2.0.0rc5-MDK_9.2-10.rpm''

or compile [[aMule]] from the sources .tar.gz

Following this how-to, you get an easy way to install back all of the packages that [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi] will remove each time you update your system with ''urpmi --auto-select''.

After updating the system with [http://urpmi.org urpmi] you must remove back [[wxBase]] (and [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] if it also changes it), and then install the packages from dirRPMS as we have done before.

<h1>[[aMule]] version >= 2.0.0rc6 (For 9.2-10.0 only)</h1>

There are also two ways to proceed here, by using [[wxWidgets|wx]] packages directly from [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake], or using Custom [[wxWidgets|wx]] rpms.

<font color=#ff0000>Some users have reported problems using wx from [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake], so you are warned !</font>

As usual, clean your computer before by suppressing all previous [[wxWidgets|wx]] rpms:

Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Remove Software''', and search for ''[[wxWidgets|wx]]'' and remove all.

<h3>1. Installation with [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] [[wxWidgets|wx]] RPM:</h3>

Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Install Software''' and select '''libwxGTK2ud''' (and '''libwxGTK2ud-devel''' if you want to compile [[aMule]] yourself)

Then, install [http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0rc6-1mdk-10.0.i586.rpm aMule-2.0.0rc6-1mdk-10.0.i586.rpm].

<h1>[[aMule]] version >= 2.0.0rc6 (For 10.1 only)</h1>

There is two way to proceed here, by using [[wxWidgets|wx]] packages directly from Mandrake, or using Custom [[wxWidgets|wx]] rpms.

This how-to explains the way to install and compile [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] 10.0 by using [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi]. I guess it would work in any other [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] version but I haven't tried it.

There is 2 ways to do it now, for [[aMule]] until 2.0.0rc5 and for versions above (beginning at rc6).

This is because we can link [[aMule]] with wx-2.5.x from 2.0.0rc6

There are others packages needed to install [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]. However, in this case, [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] official packages are fine. These packages are:

'''curl'''<br>
'''libgd''' <----- this is needed only to use the ''-o'' option of [[CAS]]. If you're not going to use that option, you don't have to install it.

If you also want to compile [[aMule]], you must install the devel packages corresponding to those:

'''curl-devel'''<br>
'''libgd-devel'''<br>

To install all this packages, you must have well-configured [http://urpmi.org urpmi] sources (look [http://easyurpmi.zarb.org easyurpmi] or [http://bailandodesvan.webcindario.com/urpmidor urpmidor] to verify). If you have them well-configured, you only must do:

''urpmi curl''<br>
''urpmi libgd''

''urpmi curl-devel''<br>
''urpmi libgd-devel''

Let's start

<h1>[[aMule]] version <= 2.0.0rc5 (For 9.2-10.0 only)</h1>

Always remember:
<ul>
<li><font color=#ff0000>NEVER</font> use [[wxWidgets]] packages provided by Official [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] (Any versions)</li>
<li><font color=#ff0000>NEVER</font> use [[wxWidgets]] packages provided by the [http://plf.zarb.org PLF]</li>
</ul>

The problem when installing [[aMule]] on [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]] 10 (and 9.X), is that [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] official [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake] package is linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK2] and [[aMule]] needs it to be linked against [http://www.gtk.org GTK1]. The solution is to use the [[wxWidgets|wx]] RPM packages from the [http://dl.amule.org aMule website].

This can be done following the [[Compilation_Installation|compilation how-to]] in the [[Main_Page|wiki of aMule]], but when doing it with [http://urpmi.org urpmi], you have the advantage of controlling the version conflict between [http://www.mandrake.com Mandrake]'s [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] package and [[aMule]]'s [http://dl.amule.org website] package every time you update your system.
1. Create a directory to put in [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] and [[wxBase]] RPM packages from the [[aMule]] [http://dl.amule.org website].

''mkdir /home/user/RPMS''

copy there:

'''wxGTK-2.4.2.rpm'''<br>
'''wxBase-2.4.2.rpm'''<br>
'''aMule-2.0.0rc6-MDK_9.2-10.rpm'''

if you also want to compile [[aMule]] you must also copy:

'''wxGTK-devel-2.4.2.rpm'''

2. Get in the new directory,

''cd /home/user/RPMS''

and run ''genhdlist'' to create ''hdlist.cz'':

''genhdlist''

3. Add that directory as a new source to [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi]

''urpmi.addmedia dirRPMS file://home/user/RPMS with hdlist.cz''

4. Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Remove Software''', and search for ''[[wxWidgets|wx]]''. Select ''wxBase'', ''wxGTK'' and ''wxGTK-devel'' and remove all of them from your computer. If your computer doesn't find any of them, it just wasn't installed, so there's no need to remove it ;)<br>
Make sure you uninstall '''all''' [[wxWidgets]], since it could happen that more than one version is installed.

5. Install [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] packages from dirRPMS source by doing:

''urpmi wxGTK-2.4.2''

if you also want to compile [[aMule]] you must also install

''urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2''

6. Install [[wxBase]] package

''urpmi wxBase-2.4.2''

Make sure you install the right packages from dirRPMS copying their exact name after [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi].

''urpmi wxGTK-devel-2.4.2''

then you must create the following symbolic links:

''ln -sf /usr/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config /usr/bin/wx-config''<br>
''ln -sf /usr/bin/wxbase-2.4-config /usr/bin/wxbase-config''

7. Now you can do

''urpmi aMule-2.0.0rc6-MDK_9.2-10.rpm''

or compile [[aMule]] from the sources .tar.gz

Following this how-to, you get an easy way to install back all of the packages that [http://www.urpmi.org urpmi] will remove each time you update your system with ''urpmi --auto-select''.

After updating the system with [http://urpmi.org urpmi] you must remove back [[wxBase]] (and [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] if it also changes it), and then install the packages from dirRPMS as we have done before.

<h1>[[aMule]] version >= 2.0.0rc6 (For 9.2-10.0 only)</h1>

There is two way to proceed here, by using wx packages directly from Mandrake, or using Customs wx rpm.

<font color=#ff0000>Some users have reported problems using wx from Mandrake, so you are warned !</font>

As usual, clean your computer before by suppressing all previous wx rpms:

Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Remove Software''', and search for ''[[wxWidgets|wx]]'' and remove all.

<h3>1. Installation with Mandrake wx RPM:</h3>

Go to '''RPMDRAKE''' -> '''Install Software''' and select '''libwxGTK2ud''' (and '''libwxGTK2ud-devel''' if you want to compile [[aMule]] yourself)

Then, install [http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0rc6-1mdk-10.0.i586.rpm aMule-2.0.0rc6-1mdk-10.0.i586.rpm].

<h3>2. Installation with Customs wx RPM:</h3>
