84.128.97.254: unicode and gtk2 are still not stable

If there's already a version of [[wxWidgets]] installed, but you want [[aMule]] to use another (probably newer) one, here are the steps to follow:

First, create the target directory, where [[wxWidgets]] and [[aMule]] will reside (they don't need to be in the same dir, but it makes life easier). Then configure [[wxWidgets]] and [[aMule]] accordingly (assuming [[wxWidgets]] 2.5.2 and current (=>20040801) [[aMule CVS]]).

'''''NOTE:''' If you use the recommended ''/home/muli'', you will most probably need root rights for that, everything else is done as regular user (remember: '''never''' work as root!).''

in [[wxWidgets]] source dir:
''<pre>
mkdir /home/muli/BUILD
./configure --prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --disable-gtk2 --with-gtk
make && make install
</pre>''

In [[aMule]] source dir:
''<pre>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/muli/BUILD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./configure --prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --enable-debug --with-wx-prefix=/home/muli/BUILD --with-wx-config=/home/muli/BUILD/bin/wxgtk2u-2.5-config
make && make install
</pre>''

To start [[aMule]], you need to explicitely specifiy the LD path each time you run it:

''<pre>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/muli/BUILD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8
gdb /home/muli/BUILD/bin/amule
gdb>handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
gdb>handle SIG32 nostop noprint pass
gdb>set height 0
gdb>run
</pre>''
