'''Compiling [[aMule]]/[[aMuleWeb]] on [http://developers.sun.com/sxde/ Solaris Express (11 beta)] x86'''

*Install the [http://www.blastwave.org/pkg-get.php pkg-get] script from http://www.blastwave.org/pkg-get.php

*Use the [http://www.blastwave.org/pkg-get.php pkg-get] script to install some required libraries, which do not come with [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris Solaris]:
**autoconf
**automake
**flex (2.5.33 or newer)
**gd
**GNU gettext
These packages will install to ''/opt/csw'' tree

*Set your path like this:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/bin

*Set these environment variables:
CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/sfw/include'
LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib'
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/csw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/lib

*Symlink the [http://www.gnu.org GNU] utilities in ''/usr/sfw/bin'' to their "right" names (''gar=ar'', ''gas=as'', ''gld=ld'', ''gmake=make'', ''ggrep=grep'', ''gtar=tar'', etc...) somewhere in your path. I sym-linked them to their same directory (''/usr/sfw/bin'').

*Get the latest [[WxWidgets|wxGTK]] package from http://www.wxwidgets.org and compile it. Install it to ''/usr/local''.
Note: blastwave has packages for wxGTK that are more or less up to date, however their unicode support is marked as experimental only, and have not
been tested to work with [[aMule]]. YMMV.

*Get the latest GeoIP source code from http://www.maxmind.com/app/c compile it and install it to /usr/local.

*Get the latest libUPnP source code from http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/ compile it and install it to /usr/local.
Hint: this configure line worked for me: ./configure CFLAGS="-DSPARC_SOLARIS" --disable-samples

*Get the latest cryptopp library from http://www.cryptopp.com/ compile it and install it to /usr/local.

*Get the latest [[aMule CVS]] from http://amule.hirnriss.net and uncompress it somewhere.

*If you are compiling a SVN version of aMule, run the autogen.sh script. If not, ignore this step (you should first edit this file, and change the first line from ''#!/bin/sh'' to ''#!/bin/bash'' else, it will fail with an error.

*Configure [[aMule]]. I used these options, but feel free to remove the ones you don't need:
./configure --enable-webserver --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-amule-gui --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc
--disable-embedded-crypto --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-geoip --enable-optimize --disable-debug

*Type ''gmake'', press <ENTER> and hope for the best.

*If compilation went OK, install aMule with: ''gmake install''.

*You can now run [[aMule]]!

*ENJOY!

This guide was used for compiling [[aMule]] and [[aMuleWeb]] on [http://developers.sun.com/sxde/ Solaris Express] for x86. I have no idea if it will work or not on previous [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris Solaris] releases or on [http://www.sun.com/processors/ SPARC], but it should. Also, if you got [[aMule]] compiled using other [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris Solaris] than [http://developers.sun.com/sxde/ Solaris Express (11 beta)], please tell me how you did, or if this guide worked for you or any extra things you had to do, etc.

Last, but not least, this guide works '''only''' for [[aMule]] versions (either SVN or release) starting March 7th/2005, no previous [[aMule]] version will compile on [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris Solaris] following this guide.

Thanks goes to all the [[aMule devs|aMule dev team]], specially [[User:Kry|Kry]], who helped me a lot, and [[User:ken|ken]] for the ''CPPFLAGS'' tip.
