HowTo compile on Win32 with MinGW

<center><h2>Originally by '''Madcat'''</h2></center>

This wiki page only supports the latest [[aMule_CVS|CVS]] version of [[aMule]].

== Requirements for compiling [[aMule]] ==

'''Note:''' Some of these require manually moving includes and libraries into their correct directories.

[http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows] port of [http://gcc.gnu.org GNU C compiler] -> [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download Download]

Minimal [http://www.gnu.org GNU] shell for [http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows] -> [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download Download]

Developer toolkit for [http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml MSys] (for [http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs CVS] & co) -> [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?download Download]

[http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv LibIConv] (required by [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext gettext]) ->
[http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/libiconv-1.8.0-2003.02.01-1.exe?download Download]

[http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext GetText] (for [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext po files], [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/automake.html autogen.sh], etc) ->
[http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gettext-0.11.5-2003.02.01-1.exe?download Download]

[http://www.zlib.org zlib] compression library ->
[http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.2.tar.gz Download]

[http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows] port of [[wxWidgets]] library ->
[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.6.0.zip Download]

== Common guidelines, issues, solutions ==

When compiling [[wxWidgets]], you should make use of the following configure flags:
''--disable-shared --without-checklistbox''

Link statically against ''[http://www.zlib.org zlib]'' to avoid distributing extranous DLLs (and generally make life simpler).

== Compilation ==

The compilation itself is actually just a matter of following the usual method: ''./configure && make''

However, [http://www.zlib.org zlib] detection might fail. If that's the case, you need to add ''--with-zlib=/local/'' to your configure flags.

== Compiling with [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio] ==

'''NOTE:''' The compilation with [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio] is deprecated right now and currently does not function. It might function again in the future.

As of 2004/07/17, you can find, in [http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs CVS], the file ''amule.msp'' which is the project file relative to the [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio] IDE ([http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Free] and under [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GPL] at http://www.parinya.ca/ and shipped with precompiled [[wxWidgets|wxMSW]]).

Install [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio], add [http://www.zlib.org Zlib] and [http://curl.haxx.se Curl] compiled libs in The [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio] tree.

Then, open ''amule.msp'' with [http://www.parinya.ca/mingwstudio.html MinGW Studio], press '''F7''', and [[aMule]] "should" be compiled :)

Yes, I know, "compile" is not the same as "work" ... But it is a great begining

== Installer ==

For those of you that don't want to compile [[aMule]] from source, you can get the [[Win32_binary|aMule Win32 Installer]].
