HowTo Compile aMuled

BasKok: added information about unicode

== 1st ==

'''NOTE:''' If you have already installed [[wxWidgets|wxGTK]] 2.5.4 or higher, jump directly into the [[#2nd|second step]], since [[wxGTK]] 2.5.4 includes [[wxBase]] 2.5.4. Note that [[aMuled]] will not compile with earlier versions of [[wxWidgets]], such as version 2.4.2!

Download [[wxBase]] 2.5.4 or higher from http://www.wxWidgets.org
unpack it, and do as user
*''./configure --prefix=/usr/''
Note that if you want unicode support you need to give the ''--enable-unicode'' flag to the configure script.
*''make''
as root
*''make install''
*''ldconfig''

== 2nd ==

*Download [[aMule CVS|amule-cvs]] from http://amule.hirnriss.net
Don't use version 2.0.0-rc8, there was a severe bug in it concerning [[aMuled]]!

Unpack it, and do as user
*''./configure --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-monolithic --enable-amule-daemon''
*''make''
as root
*''make install''

That's it. You now have a working [[aMuled|aMule-daemon]] in ''/usr/local/bin'' 
Now you need to configure it. To create the ''~/.aMule/remote.conf'' file, which is the preferences file, run [[aMuled]] once. 
The ''~/.aMule'' directory and the ''~/.aMule/remote.conf'' file will be created in the home directory of the user that ran [[aMuled]]. 
::'''NOTE:''' In [[aMule]] versions previous to 2.0.0 the ''~/.aMule/remote.conf'' file was ''~/.eMule''. 
You probably want [[aMuleWeb]] to control your [[aMuled|daemon]]. To be able to use that you need to enable [[External Connections]]. Check [[Webserver-1.2.x|this article]]. 
I know it's for 1.2.x but since you dont have a GUI to setup everything this is what you want.
