== 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-1.2.8.ebuild ===

This ebuild is marked as '''stable''' for x86 platforms.

This [[aMule]] version is well over a year old and lacks many features. It depends on wxGTK compiled against ''GTK-1.2''. [[aMule]] devs highly discourage use of this version but if you insist upon using it, simply emerge it. Be warned that support is probably limited.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2; >=net-misc/curl-7.11.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1<br>
Status: No further development; in Portage

=== amule-2.0.0_rc7.ebuild ===

This ebuild is marked as '''unstable''' for all architectures.

This is an aging version. This is the last version that will compile with wxGTK compiled against ''GTK-1.2''. It also compiles with wxGTK 2.4.2 or greater compiled against ''GTK-2''.

Dependencies: >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2; >=net-misc/curl-7.11.0; >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1; >=media-libs/gd-2.0.26<br>
Status: No further development; in Portage

=== amule-2.0.3.ebuild ===

This ebuild is marked as '''unstable''' for all architectures.

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<br>
Status: No further development; in Portage

=== 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-1.2.8.ebuild ===

1. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag). Remember, since this version requires wxGTK compiled against ''GTK-1.2'', you must compile without ''GTK-2''.

net-p2p/amule debug gtk2 nls remote

2. Emerge package.
$ emerge amule -pv
$ emerge amule

=== amule-2.0.0_rc7.ebuild ===

1. Add packages to package.keywords
echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

2. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag).

3. Emerge package.
$ emerge amule -pv
$ emerge amule

=== amule-2.0.3.ebuild ===

1. Add packages to package.keywords
echo "net-p2p/amule ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

2. Modify /etc/portage/package.use to suit your needs (please note that debug is enabled regardless of USE flag).

net-p2p/amule amuled debug gtk2 nls remote stats unicode

3. Emerge package.
$ 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-2
$ mkdir -p {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs-2

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-2

5. Change directory
$ cd {PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/net-p2p/amule-cvs-2/

6. Touch file's timestamp
$ touch amule-cvs-2.ebuild

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-svn X -amuled -debug gtk2 kad nls -nosystray -optimize -remote -remote-gui -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.

== Information on wxGTK ==
=== [[wxGTK]] 2.5.3 - 2.6.0 ===

wxGTK versions 2.5.3 and greater are marked as '''unstable''' in Portage. In order to use wxGTK version 2.5.3 or greater, you must (keyword) unmask it.
$ mkdir /etc/portage
$ echo "x11-libs/wxGTK ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

If you want to use amuled then you need, at least, ''wxGTK2.5.3''. Currently, the only version not hard masked in Portage is [[wxGTK]] 2.4.2 due to problems when compiling with [http://www.opengl.org OpenGL] support in [[wxGTK]] 2.5.3. But as [[aMule]] is no 3D egoshooter, we can safely disable [http://www.opengl.org OpenGL] support and use it anyway. To do so enter the following into a console as root:

If you want to use ''GTK-1.2'':
$ echo "x11-libs/wxGTK -gtk2 -opengl" >> /etc/portage/package.use

If you want to use ''GTK-2'' (recommended):
$ echo "x11-libs/wxGTK -opengl" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Finally, emerge wxGTK:
$ emerge wxGTK -pv
$ emerge wxGTK

'''Note:''' There are two ebuilds available for ''amule-cvs''. A version with [http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=58059&action=view >=wxGTK 2.6.0] support and a version with [http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=55546&action=view <=wxGTK 2.5.3] support. Please use the correct version depending on what version of [[wxGTK]] you choose to use. Of course, [[wxGTK]] >= 2.6.0 is recommended.

=== [[wxGTK]] 2.4.2 ===

If you don't want to use the [[aMuled|aMule daemon]], ''wxGTK-2.4.2'' will do you just fine. However, you must link it against ''GTK-1.2''. aMule does not support ''wxGTK-2.4.2'' linked against ''GTK-2''. If you want to use ''GTK-2'', you'll need wxGTK-2.5.1 at minimum:
$ mkdir /etc/portage
$ echo "x11-libs/wxGTK -gtk2" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Finally, emerge wxGTK:
$ emerge wxGTK -pv
$ emerge wxGTK

Will will compile ''wxGTK2.4.2'' linked against ''GTK-1.2''. After this wxGTK has compiled, you can continue with [[HowTo_Compile_In_Gentoo#compiling_amule|compiling aMule]].
