== Install aMule 2.2.4 on [http://www.freebsd.org FreeBSD] 6.X, 7.X ==
Check that your /usr/ports is up-to-date, for example using portsnap:
portsnap fetch update

(you may need portsnap extract or portsnap fetch extract if not done before, you should be told at the end if this is necessary)

Then, as the ports tree has been updated to 2.2.4, you should be able to just

Install aMule

cd /usr/ports/net/amule2
make config
make install clean

That should download and make all necessary dependencies etc.

But if that doesn't work you can try (should also be useful for a newer version of aMule then 2.2.4 and the cvs):

Upgrade the FreeBSD 6.X (not needed on FreeBSD 7.X) flex release (2.5.4) with the new one (2.5.35):

cd /usr/ports/textproc/flex
make install clean

This installation didn't override the old /usr/bin/, but put a new release on /usr/local/bin/.

Then we need to rename the old flex release:

mv /usr/bin/flex /usr/bin/flex.old

And check your version with this command:

flex --version

You should obtain: 2.5.35 (or newer)

Install wxgtk28:

cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/wxgtk28-unicode/
make install clean

Install cryptopp:

cd /usr/ports/security/cryptopp
make install clean

Install GD:

cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd
make install clean

Install GeoIP:

cd /usr/ports/net/GeoIP/
make install clean

Download the aMule 2.2.4 source code
[http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=42 here].

tar -zxvf aMule-2.2.4.tar.bz2
cd aMule-2.2.2/

You need to edit the file src/Scanner.l and after the line:
#include <wx/string.h>
Add the line:
#include "Scanner.h.in"

Configure some environement variable, for bash user:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
Or for csh user (default under FreeBSD):
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/local/include"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"
Then start the compilation:

./configure --prefix=/home/'''user'''/aMule-2.2.4/ \
--with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-2.8-config --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/ \
--disable-debug --with-curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config --enable-webserver \
--enable-optimize --with-included-gettext --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd \
--enable-cas --enable-alcc --enable-geoip

'''NOTE:''' Check [[configure]]. Also, change '''user''' for your user name.

gmake
gmake install

And start it:
./amule-2.2.4/bin/amule &

== Configuration info ==

After successfully installing:

The program directory can be found: (~./aMule/). Means as root:

/root/.aMule/

any other user:

/usr/home/<username>/.aMule/

amule.conf can be found directly in the program folder. The webserver config file has to be made:

# amuleweb -w.

and is called remote.conf

=> Ok, old chapter removed. But how to add a version tag ?

Just Add ==Version== and the following infos at the end. See bottom of http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_Compile_In_Debian

== GD ==

What options are necessary for GD? My guess is X11 if you want the gui/monolithic. What about xpm or fontconfig? I believe from memory iconv is necessary but again not sure. (I just selected all although it turned out I already had GD, I installed every single package available on the FreeBSD 7.2 DVD except for conflicting ones) [[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] 23:24, 14 May 2009 (CEST)

== Installing 2.2.3 ==

The amule port can be found at:

/usr/ports/net-p2p/amule2

I prefer the installation of applications on freebsd through the ports collection. Assumeing you're useing freebsd 6.2, as root:

# cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/amule2
# make install clean

In the next menu select deamon if you've plans to remote control aMule, or leave the options as they are, press OK and wait for compilation. The time needed depends on the depended applications that has te be installed. The program directory can be found: (~./aMule/). Means as root:

/root/.aMule/

any other user:

/usr/home/<username>/.aMule/

amule.conf can be found directly in the program folder. The webserver config file has to be made:

# amuleweb -w.

and is called remote.conf

The stable [[aMule]] is version 2.1.3.
