67.100.182.138: Small correction on step 9 of CVS compile (its remotegui, not remote-gui)

<center>'''English''' | [[HowTo_Compile_In_Gentoo-es|Español]]</center>

== Introduction ==
Gentoo is known for choices. Unfortunately, some choices require more labor than others. As such, [[aMule]] comes in a variety of versions and installation methods based on what version of [[wxGTK]] you decide to use...

== Methods of Installation ==
=== amule-2.0.3.ebuild ===
This ebuild matches the most current, stable [[aMule]] release.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2; sys-devel/gettext; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.8; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.32

=== amule-cvs ===
This ebuild is marked as '''unstable''' for all architectures.

Not intended for the general public. If you'd like to test out the daily development snapshot, then this is the version for you.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26; >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.0<br>
Status: In development; not in Portage; requires portage overlay

== Installation instructions ==
=== amule-2.0.3.ebuild ===
1. Emerge package:
emerge --sync
emerge amule -pv
emerge amule

=== amule-cvs ===
The current ebuilds for [[aMule CVS]] can be found [http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=5732 here]. Download it and continue with this wiki article.

1. Define ''PORTDIR_OVERLAY''. Open up ''/etc/make.conf'' with your favourite text editor and define the ''PORTDIR_OVERLAY'' variable. The default is:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

2. Create overlay for amule-cvs:
mkdir -p {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs
mkdir -p {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs/files

3. Add to ''package.keywords'':
echo "net-p2p/amule-cvs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

4. Copy [http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?postid=38002#post38002 amule-cvs-2.ebuild] to ''{PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs''

5. Copy ''amuled'' and ''amuleweb'' init script from official ebuild files:
cp {PORTDIR}/net-p2p/amule/files/amuled.* {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs/files/
cp {PORTDIR}/net-p2p/amule/files/amuleweb.* {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs/files/

''PORTDIR'' is the official portage directory (usually ''/usr/portage/'')

6. Change directory:
cd {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs/

7. Digest ebuild:
ebuild amule-cvs-2.ebuild digest

8. Review installation flags:
emerge amule-cvs -pv

9. Modify ''/etc/portage/package.use'' to suit your needs (please note that ''debug'' is enabled regardless of ''USE'' flag):
net-p2p/amule-cvs X -amuled -debug gtk2 kad nls -nosystray -optimize -remote -remotegui -stats unicode

10. Install [[aMule CVS]]:
emerge amule-cvs

'''PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE''' do ''emerge amule-cvs -pv'' before installing to determine how you want to compile [[aMule]].
