maybe this page outdates soon,
until then it may help u

== install amule 2.0.0rc3 on freebsd 5.x ==

why would u ask... we have /usr/ports/net/amule

well, this is the stable version 1.2.6

we wanna stay current or help testing / debugging, why else would u read this?

== install ports we need if u dont allready have (see ''pkg_info'') ==

''security/cryptopp''

and

''x11-toolkits/wxgtk''

and (but u will have this already ;-)

''devel/gettext''

and (but u will have this already ;-)

''devel/gmake''

u know how to install ports as a bsd user, so i dont have to tell u i hope.
its just too easy u know. in case ur very new to freebsd, consult the great handbook at www.freebsd.org.

'''NOTE:''' if u think u have wxgtk installed because u see wxgtk2, u should know, wxgtk is linked to gtk1 and wxgtk2 is linked to gtk2. wxgtk2 and amule will be unstable! u have to use wxgtk, not wxgtk2!

== configure ==

the ./configure does not work 100% automagically, we must help it out a bit

i used the following line of configure, wich may differ for u a bit due to different os or library versions u have installed

right now this line works for FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT 03-May-2004 for example but version numbers may be different for freebsd 5.2.1 or the upcomming 5.3.

edit the <your home> tag of course, or install it elsewhere.

''./configure --prefix=/home/<your home>/amule --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config --with-wxbase-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config''

this is one single line, not 3 lines or whatever wiki/html/ur browser wraps this line into.

u will see configure doesnt find gdlib-config, even if u unstalled gdlib. dont care, its just not there and its no "must have". just skip it.

'''NOTE:''' if u get the following warning at the end of configure u are probably linking to wxgtk2 instead of wxgtk. amule will memleak and eat ur cpu. it will probably crash as well. use wxgtk as mentioned above!

''WARNING!! Your wxWidgets copy has been linked against GTK2 and this will make aMule be instable, use so much cpu and ram. You have been advised, dont report bugs so.''

== patch 1 ==

the problem would be:

'''<nowiki>[...]
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcryptopp
gmake[2]: *** [cas] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/eugene/aMule-2.0.0rc3/src'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eugene/aMule-2.0.0rc3'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2</nowiki>'''

so we patch it now:

edit src/Makefile

search for the line containing

''cryptopp''

this line will read as:

''LIBS = -lcryptopp''

add ''-L/usr/local/lib'' to that line

now the line will read as:

''LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lcryptopp''

== patch 2 ==

the problem would be:

'''<nowiki>[...]

gmake: *** [all] Error 2</nowiki>'''

so we patch it now:

as there is no official freebsd support in amule yet?! we will patch it to work... well there is openbsd support and this support will work for us too :-)

edit src/amule.cpp

and insert

''#define __OPENBSD__''

at the top of this file. i placed it right before the first #include line...

what a workaround u may scream. hey we dont fiddle too much around with the code, just hack it to work and get ready to share ;-)

== make ==

make will fail, use gmake

make is bsd make, gmake is gnu make, both are not compatible

now do:

''gmake''

get urself a hot green tea (i prefer some sort of sencha) while it is compiling

then do:

''gmake install''

== use it ==

just start it with ''/home/<your home>/amule/bin/amule''
or whereever u installed it to...

== set debug or optimization flags (optional) ==

if ur shell is tcsh:

''setenv CFLAGS <flags>''

and

''setenv CXXFLAGS <flags>''

if ur shell is bash:

''export CFLAGS <flags>''

and

''export CXXFLAGS="<flags>''

if u want a version to debug when it crashed, or to send in good bug reports flags must not contain any -O or optimization flags, but ''-g3'' instead

for source code debugging yourself add ''-Wall'' to <flags>

if u want a fast optimized version, u can try the following working flags:

''-O2 -pipe -march=athlon''

this compiled clean for me. u probly wanna change the march-type to match ur cpu. try athlon-xp or p4 or something like that :-)

-O3 or any other flags may not work for u, i completely dont know.

skip the other warnings as well, esp. the end of configure:

Which libraries should aMule use?
wxWidgets 2.4.2

the ./configure does not work 100% auto, we must help it

i used the following line of configure, and i hope it may help u:

edit the <your home> tag of course, or install it elsewhere...

''./configure --prefix=/home/<your home>/amule --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config --with-wxbase-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config''

this is one single line, not 3 lines or whatever wiki/html/ur browser wraps this line into...

well if u have other versions installed u need to change the line a bit, im driving a very current version right now, FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT 03-May-2004

u will see configure doenst find gdlib-config, even if u unstalled gdlib, dont care, its just not there, but ist no "must have". skip it.

skip the other warnings as well, esp. the end of configure:

''-- cut --''

Which libraries should aMule use?
wxWidgets 2.4.2
GTK Not detected

WARNING!! Your wxWidgets copy has been linked against GTK2 and this will make aMule be instable, use so much cpu and ram. You have been advised, dont report bugs so.

''-- cut --''

its just alright!

== patch ==

as there is no official freebsd support in amule yet?! we will patch it to work... well there is openbsd support and this support will work for us too :-)

edit src/amule.cpp

and insert

''#define __OPENBSD__''

at the top of this file. i placed it right before the first #include line...

what a workaround u may scream. hey we dont fiddle too much around with the code, just hack it to work and get ready to share ;-)

== make ==

make will fail, due to the bsd make is not compatible with gnu make and amule does not care yet, anyways...

install gnu make if u dont already have
its placed: ''/usr/ports/devel/gmake/''

then all u have to do is:

''gmake''

now it should compile

then u do, of course:

''gmake install''

== install amule 2.0.0rc3 on freebsd 5.x ==

why would u ask... we have /usr/ports/net/amule

well, this is the stable version 1.2.6

we wanna stay current or help testing / debugging, why else would u read this?

== install ports we need if u dont allready have (see ''pkg_info'') ==

''security/cryptopp''

and

''x11-toolkits/wxgtk''

and (but u will have this already ;-)

''devel/gettext''

and (but u will have this already ;-)

''devel/gmake''

u know how to install ports as a bsd user, so i dont have to tell u i hope.
its just too easy u know. in case ur very new to freebsd, consult the great handbook at www.freebsd.org.

'''NOTE:''' if u think u have wxgtk installed because u see wxgtk2, u should know, wxgtk is linked to gtk1 and wxgtk2 is linked to gtk2. wxgtk2 and amule will be unstable! u have to use wxgtk, not wxgtk2!

== set any optimization CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS (optional) ==

if ur shell is tcsh:

''setenv CFLAGS <flags>''

and

''setenv CXXFLAGS <flags>''

if ur shell is bash:

''export CFLAGS <flags>''

and

''export CXXFLAGS="<flags>''

if u want a version to debug when it crashed, or to send in good bug reports flags must not contain any -O or optimization flags, but ''-g3'' instead

for source code debugging yourself add ''-Wall'' to <flags>

if u want a fast optimized version, u can try the following working flags:

''-O2 -pipe -march=athlon''

this compiled clean for me. u probly wanny change the march-type :-)

-O3 or any other flags may not work for u, i completely dont know.

its just alright!

== 4. patch ==

as there is no official freebsd support in amule yet?! we will patch it to work... well there is openbsd support and this support will work for us too :-)

edit src/amule.cpp

and insert

''#define __OPENBSD__''

at the top of this file. i plced it right before the first #include line...

what a workaround u may scream. hey we dont fiddle too much around with the code, just hack it to work and get ready to share ;-)

== 5. make ==

make will fail, due to the bsd make is not compatible with gnu make and amule does not care yet, anyways...

install gnu make if u dont already have
its placed: ''/usr/ports/devel/gmake/''

then all u have to do is:

''gmake''

now it should compile

then u do, of course:

''gmake install''

== 6. use it ==

just start it with ''/home/<your home>/amule/bin/amule''
or whereever u installed it to...

== install amule 2.0.0rc3 on freebsd ==

why would u ask... we have /usr/ports/net/amule

well, this is the stable version 1.2.6

we wanna stay current or help testing / debugging, why else would u read this?

== 1.) install ports we need if u dont allready have (see ''pkg_info'') ==

''security/cryptopp
x11-toolkits/wxgtk-common
''
u know how to install ports as a bsd user, so i dont have to tell u i hope.
its just too easy u know.

and i suggest u have gettext installed, else maybe u have to do some small changes to the configure line (see ./configure --help)

== 2.) set any optimization CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS ==

i only tested with "''-O2 -pipe -march=athlon''"

-O3 or any other flags may not work for u, i completely dont know.

if u want a debug version, not a user version, dont use any -O, instead turn on "-Wall -g3"... but as with the -O3 i didnt test and so i dont know if it will work.

== 3.) configure ==

the ./configure does not work 100% auto, we must help it

i used the following line of configure, and i hope it may help u:

edit the <your home> tag of course, or install it elsewhere...

''./configure --prefix=/home/<your home>/amule --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config --with-wxbase-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config''

this is one single line, not 3 lines or whatever wiki/html/ur browser wraps this line into...

well if u have other versions installed u need to change the line a bit, im driving a very current version right now, FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT 03-May-2004

u will see configure doenst find gdlib-config, even if u unstalled gdlib, dont care, its just not there, but ist no "must have". skip it.

skip the other warnings as well, esp. the end of configure:

im new to amule, but i help where i can.

i love emule and i love freebsd so i see support for amule is important, because i wanna use my pref. os with my pref. appz

i dont know much, but some of my not so bad skills:

bsd (pref. freebsd) / linux (pref. gentoo) , but have a sun ultra5 too (but running gentoo linux, not solaris, mainly)... i know what the source does ;-)

assembler, c, java

hacking
