PacoBell: Props to Mirko.grewing on the last edit

Ah, good call, Mirko.grewing. Much more generic and versatile ;) --[[User:PacoBell|PacoBell]] 13:29, 28 April 2009 (CEST)

Is there any reason we're not using wxWidgets from MacPorts instead of wxMac? Which is more stable/feature complete? --[[User:PacoBell|PacoBell]] 00:05, 20 April 2009 (CEST)

----

I need to install newer versions of flex and automake to compile amule successfully on my machine. Maybe we should just add those as dependencies that should be installed through Fink. -- lionel77

i have this:
port installed
The following ports are currently installed:
autoconf @2.61_1 (active)
automake @1.10.1_0 (active)
expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
flex @2.5.34_0 (active)
gettext @0.17_3 (active)
help2man @1.36.4_1 (active)

Mac specific usage

2009-04-27T12:15:16Z

PacoBell: /* Handling ed2k-Links */ More options for handling ED2K URLs

<center>
'''English''' |
[[Mac_specific_usage-fr|Français]]
</center>

== Description ==
This article is a guideline for Mac-specific issues in [[aMule]]. It should help anyone use all the features aMule has to offer on Macs and help with an easy and comfortable setup.

== Right/control-click to activate pop-up menus ==

Many of aMule's features are only accessible through pop-up menus, e.g. [[pause]] or [[cancel]] a [[download]] change the [[upload]] or download [[priority]] of a [[file]], see [[Usage_File_Details|file details]], etc.

You activate a pop-up menu either by clicking the right mouse button or, if you have a one-button mouse, by holding down the control key on your keyboard and clicking.

There are no visual cues to where these menus exist, so you need to experiment. You may for example try any list of files, [[client]]s and [[server]]s, all the labels on the top of these lists (e.g. "File Name") and the bar "all" at the top of the download window.

== Setting up firewall access ==
In addition to properly configuring your router to handle port forwarding, you need to configure the settings of the built-in firewall that comes included with Mac OS X. To do so: 
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences. 
2. Click on the "Security" Preferences Pane. 
3. Click on the "Firewall" tab. 
4. Click "New..." on the right side of the tab, which will bring up a drop-down dialogue box. 
5. For "Port Name" select "Other"; for "TCP Port Number(s)" enter the same port number as you used in your "Connection" preferences in aMule; for "Description" enter something handy to remember what you did, like "aMule"; click "OK". 
6. Returning to the "Firewall" tab, be sure that the port you just created (i.e. "aMule") is checked. 

Now you should be good to go. You can see if you have correctly opened the port by testing [http://www.amule.org/testport.php here] . 

== Handling ed2k-Links ==
There are basically four ways to download files with aMule:

#[[Search]] for files using aMule's [[Usage_Searches|search dialog]] and double click those search results that you want to download.
#Copy [[ed2k link|ed2k-links]] from a web page into the "[[Usage_ED2K_Link_Handler|ED2K-Link Handler]]" field at the bottom of the search window of aMule and press the commit button. If the ed2k-link is longer than that text field is wide you need to make the aMule window wider until the link fits completely into the field (you can make the aMule window wider than your screen if necessary). We are working on eliminating this issue.
#Import ed2k-links directly from your browser into aMule. See http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=5679.0 for more details.
#Use a text editor (e.g. TextEdit) to paste ed2k-links into a "[[ED2KLinks_file|ED2Links]]" file inside ''~/Library/Application Support/aMule/'' and aMule will automatically import those links.
#Install [http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/MoreInternet/ More Internet Preference Pane] or [http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/ RCDefaultApp] and set it to handle ed2k links with ''/Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/ed2kHelperScript.app''

== Setting up aMule's video preview feature ==
You can use a video player like [http://www.videolan.org VLC] or [http://www.mplayerhq.hu Mplayer] to preview incomplete downloads of video files. To set up aMule properly for this, go to Preferences -> General. Under "Video Player", you have to enter "/usr/bin/open -a" together with the path of your video player program.

For example:
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/VLC.app"
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/vlc-0.8.4a/VLC.app"
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/MPlayer OS X 2.0b8r5/MPlayer OS X 2.app"

Or just "/usr/bin/open" to use the default application for the specific file type - as set up in the finder.

For additional information, see [[Usage_Preferences|this article]].

HowTo compile on Mac

2009-04-25T16:03:12Z

PacoBell: /* Step 4: Compile wxMac */ Added wxTextCtrl patch for performance opimization missing in wxMac-2.8.10

'''English''' |
[[HowTo_compile_on_Mac-de|Deutsch]] |
[[HowTo_compile_on_Mac-es|Español]] |
[[HowTo_compile_on_Mac-fr|Français]]
</center>

How to get and install [[aMule]] on [http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Apple Mac OS X].

# You can simply download the finished application ('binary release');
# You compile it from a [[aMule SVN|SVN source snapshot]] or [http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=42 stable release source].

== Binary releases ==
If you don't want to bother with installing and compiling all those tools and sources, then get one of the pre-compiled [[aMule]] applications. The official release is considered 'stable', but every now and then applications are built from the current source to allow more people to test new features or the like.

# Latest official binary release: [http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=30 aMule-2.2.3-Mac]
# Check the Mac forum for a more recent user posted binary: [http://forum.amule.org/index.php?board=49.0 aMule forum]

Now, to install the downloaded binary, just drag the aMule application to a folder of your choice (e.g., ''/Applications'').

To start aMule, double-click the application icon.

'''Note:''' You might want to take a look at the [[Mac specific usage]] article.

== Compiling from source ==
Compiling from source allows most current bug reports, because you can compile and test the [[aMule CVS|CVS snapshot]] of the very day.

To compile [[aMule]] from source you need some development tools, the [[wxWidgets]] library and the [http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=42 aMule source].

=== Get the sources and development tools ===
==== Step 1: Download and install [http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode Xcode] ====
[http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode Xcode] is [http://www.apple.com Apple]'s development environment. We need it for the [http://gcc.gnu.org GCC] compiler.

You will need at least version 2.1 of Xcode, a more recent version is preferable though. You can download the most recent version of Xcode from Apple, but you will need to sign up for a free-of-charge developer account first or log-in using your iTunes Store account.

# Get Xcode from http://developer.apple.com/tools/download
# "Member Site"->"Log In"->"Download Software"->"Developer Tools"->"Download Xcode Tools last release">"Install"

==== Step 2: Install [http://www.macports.org MacPorts]====
[http://www.macports.org MacPorts] is an open source installer for lots of open source tools ported to [http://macos.apple.com Mac OS X]. aMule needs a few of these tools to compile properly. Alternatively, <del>you can also use [http://www.finkproject.org/ Fink] to install these tools or</del> (it seems that fink lacks many of the needed tools) you can install them manually .

# Download the most recent version of [http://www.macports.org MacPorts]
# Read [http://guide.macports.org/ MacPorts' documentation] to learn how to install applications through [http://www.macports.org MacPorts].

===== Syntax of most important commands =====
Packages list can be downloaded/updated through

$ sudo port selfupdate

Packages can be installed through

$ sudo port install ''package_name''

and removed with

$ sudo port uninstall ''package_name''

Port variants can be invoked with the plus sign:

$ sudo port install ''package_name'' +universal

==== Step 3: Install libraries and tools ====

These are the package that provides (with dependancies) all needed libraries and tools to build [[wxWidgets]] and [[aMule]] with most of feature:

# automake
# binutils
# flex
# gettext
# libpng
# libcryptopp
# libiconv
# gd2
# jpeg
# libgeoip
# libupnp
# pkgconfig

This should be enough:

$ sudo port install automake binutils flex libpng libcryptopp gd2 libgeoip libupnp

==== Step 4: Compile [[wxWidgets|wxMac]] ====
[[wxWidgets|wxMac]] is the port of the [[wxWidgets]] library for [http://www.apple.com/macosx Mac OS X]. This library is used to make [[aMule]] 'multi-platform'.

Get the source from: http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ (Source Archives: wxMac) and extract the archive on your desktop. 
Download [http://trac.wxwidgets.org/raw-attachment/ticket/9012/textctrl_optimization.diff this patch file] to your desktop. 
Now open a Terminal and type

$ patch /Users/mirko/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.10/src/mac/carbon/textctrl.cpp /Users/mirko/Desktop/textctrl_optimization.diff

'''Note:''' This patch greatly increases performance of wxTextCtrl and prevents aMule from hanging under rapid logging. 
type

$ cd

leave a space after the command, than drag and drop the wxMac uncompressed folder into the Terminal window: the complete path of the folder will be printed on screen. For example:

$ cd /Users/mirko/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.10/

Press enter.
Now configure and compile the package with the command:

$ ./configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --disable-debug --disable-debug_gdb --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local && make -j8

'''Note:''' The above command doesn't enable debug information. Debug informations allows you to submit a helpful stacktrace if [[aMule]] crashes or a sample if it hangs to the [[aMule devs|aMule developers]]. If you want to compile a debug version then you can use "--enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb" instead.

==== Step 5: Compile [[aMule]] ====
Download [http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=42 aMule source] and extract archive into the same place of wxMac (i.e. your desktop if you are following out suggestion).
Open a Terminal and type:

$ cd

then leave a space and drag and drop aMule uncompressed folder whose path will be printed on screen, for example:

$ cd /Users/mirko/Desktop/aMule-2.2.4

Press Enter. Now it's possible to configure the sources: there are several options that can be used to activate or deactivate feature during compiling. This is only an example, that provide a full feature aMule build:

$ ./configure --disable-systray --disable-gtk --enable-embedded_crypto --with-wx-config=../wxMac-2.8.10/wx-config \
--enable-optimize --with-crypto-prefix=/opt/local --with-gdlib-config=/opt/local/bin/gdlib-config --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local \
--enable-cas --enable-webserver --enable-amulecmd --enable-amule-gui --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc --enable-amule-daemon \
--enable-geoip --with-geoip-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-geoip-headers=/opt/local/include --enable-geoip-static --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb

Take a look to the [[configure]] page for a complete list of options.
You should pay attention to these elements:

# The given example enables debug informations. To disable them change the options ''--enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb'' with ''--disable-debug --disable-debug_gdb --enable-optimize''.
# The option ''--with-wx-config'' must point to the correct relative path of the compiled wxMac. The example assumes that aMule and wxMac folders are in the same directory (i.e. your desktop). You should also correct the wxMac folder's name according to its version (in the example is 2.8.10).
# The option ''--with-crypto-prefix'' should point to /usr/local/cryptopp if you compiled Crypto++ starting from its source, out of MacPorts.
# '''IMPORTANT!''' It seems that Mac OS version of ''ld'' tool is not able to make static library. So if you plan to run/install your compiled aMule on other Mac which doesn't have MacPorts installed you MUST remove the ''--enable-geoip-static'' option to avoid a crash when the program starts.

Now it's time to make you packages with:

$ make -j8

and

./src/utils/scripts/mac_packager

You should find the aMule package in the same source folder.

=== APPENDIX: Universal Binary ===

Warning, this section should be hardly revised since it doesn't work at all!

If no specific options are added, the system compile the packages for the native architecture (i.e. i386 if you are using a Mac Intel or ppc for PowerPcs).
If you plan to distribute your package or to use it on different platform you probably want to build a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary universal binary] app.

To get a UB package you should

# Install all the libraries and tools (Step 3) through MacPorts invoking the ''+universal'' variant.
# Attache the option "--enable-universal_binary" to the ''configure'' command of wxMac (Step 4).
# Add the following options to the aMule ''config'', if you are using Leopard (change "MacOSX10.5.sdk" to "MacOSX10.4.sdk" if you are using Tiger):
--disable-dependency-tracking \
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" \
CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"

PacoBell: MacPorts wxWidgets vs. wxMac

Is there any reason we're not using wxWidgets from MacPorts instead of wxMac? Which is more stable/feature complete? --[[User:PacoBell|PacoBell]] 00:05, 20 April 2009 (CEST)

----

I need to install newer versions of flex and automake to compile amule successfully on my machine. Maybe we should just add those as dependencies that should be installed through Fink. -- lionel77

i have this:
port installed
The following ports are currently installed:
autoconf @2.61_1 (active)
automake @1.10.1_0 (active)
expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
flex @2.5.34_0 (active)
gettext @0.17_3 (active)
help2man @1.36.4_1 (active)
libiconv @1.12_0 (active)
libpng @1.2.24_0 (active)
libtool @1.5.24_1 (active)
m4 @1.4.10_1 (active)
ncurses @5.6_0 (active)
ncursesw @5.6_1 (active)
p5-locale-gettext @1.05_0 (active)
perl5.8 @5.8.8_1 (active)

How to get and install [[aMule]] on [http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Apple Mac OS X].

# You can simply download the finished application ('binary release') or
# You compile it from a [[aMule SVN|SVN source snapshot]].

== Binary releases ==
If you don't want to bother with installing and compiling all those tools and sources, then get one of the pre-compiled [[aMule]] applications. The official release is considered 'stable', but every now and then applications are built from the current source to allow more people to test new features or the like.

# Latest official binary release: [http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=30 aMule-2.1.3-Mac]
# Check the Mac forum for a more recent user posted binary: [http://forum.amule.org/index.php?board=49.0 aMule forum]

Now, to install the downloaded binary, just drag the aMule application to a folder of your choice (e.g., ''/Applications'').

To start aMule, double-click the application icon.

'''Note:''' You might want to take a look at the [[Mac specific usage]] article.

== Compiling from source ==
Compiling from source allows most current bug reports, because you can compile and test the [[aMule CVS|CVS snapshot]] of the very day.

To compile [[aMule]] from source you need some development tools, the [[wxWidgets]] library and the [http://dl.amule.org aMule source].

=== Get the sources and development tools ===
==== [http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode Xcode] ====
[http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode Xcode] is [http://www.apple.com Apple]'s development environment. We need it for the [http://gcc.gnu.org GCC] compiler.

You will need at least version 2.1 of Xcode, a more recent version is preferable though. [http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode Xcode] is included on the OS X 10.4 DVD, but early versions of 10.4 were shipped with Xcode 2.0, so you will need to check that the version on your DVD is at least 2.1.

Alternatively, you can download the most recent version of Xcode from Apple, but you will need to sign up for a free-of-charge developer account first.

# Get Xcode from http://developer.apple.com/tools/download
# "Member Site"->"Log In"->"Download Software"->"Developer Tools"->"Download Xcode Tools last release">"Install"

==== [http://www.macports.org MacPorts]====
[http://www.macports.org MacPorts] is an open source installer for lots of open source tools ported to [http://macos.apple.com Mac OS X]. aMule needs a few of these tools to compile properly. Alternatively, you can also use [http://www.finkproject.org/ Fink] to install these tools or you can install them manually.

# Download the most recent version of [http://www.macports.org MacPorts]
# Read [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki MacPorts' documentation] to learn how to install applications through [http://www.macports.org MacPorts].

The tools that you will need to install are:
# automake
# flex
# gettext (only required if you want to use a language other than English in aMule)
# libpng
# libcryptopp
# libiconv
# gd2
# jpeg
# libgeoip
# libupnp
# pkgconfig

====[http://www.cryptopp.com/ Crypto++]====
'With the recent SVN builds, you will need the crypto++ library to compile with encryption. If not, you will get an error similar to the following,
checking for crypto++ version >= 5.1... configure: error:
Could not find cryptopp header file "cryptlib.h".
Please check if the path "/usr" is valid.

MacPorts now includes Crypto v5.5.2. To install it issue the following command:
sudo port install libcryptopp

==== [[wxWidgets|wxMac]] ====
[[wxWidgets|wxMac]] is the port of the [[wxWidgets]] library for [http://www.apple.com/macosx Mac OS X]. This library is used to make [[aMule]] 'multi-platform'.

# Get the source from: http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ (Source Archives: wxMac)
# Extract the archive (just double-click it)

==== [http://www.amule.org aMule itself] ====
# Get latest daily [[aMule CVS|CVS source snapshot]]: [http://www.hirnriss.net/?area=cvs aMule CVS]
# Extract the archive (just double-click it)

=== Compile the sources ===
Put the ''amule'' folder, the ''wxMac'' folder and the "crypto552" folder in the same place, e.g. on the desktop (if using another location, ensure that there are no spaces in the path as this can lead to file not found errors with [[WxWidgets|wxMac]]).

==== Compile gdlib ====
This step is only needed once, even if you later download and compile a newer version of the [[aMule CVS]] source. Assuming you have unzipped it on your desktop, do the following:

bash: cd ~/Desktop/gd-2.0.35/
bash: sudo ./configure
bash: sudo make install

Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib

==== Compile Crypto++ ====
This step is only needed once, even if you later download and compile a newer version of the [[aMule CVS]] source. Assuming you have unzipped it on your desktop, do the following:

bash: cd ~/Desktop/cryptopp552/
bash: make
bash: sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local/cryptopp

==== Compile [[WxWidgets|wxMac]] ====
This step is only needed once, even if you later download and compile a newer version of the [[aMule CVS]] source.

The following assumes that you have placed the above packages on your Desktop. 
''cd'' into the ''wxMac'' folder, ''configure'' and ''make'':

bash: cd ~/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.10/build
bash: ../configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb
bash: make

'''Note:''' The second command above makes sure that wxMac is compiled with debug information. This information allows you to submit a helpful stacktrace if [[aMule]] crashes or a sample if it hangs to the [[aMule devs|aMule developers]]. If you do not want to compile a debug version then you can use "--disable-debug --disable-debug_gdb" instead.

'''Note:''' If you want to compile a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary Universal Binary] of aMule (i.e., a version of aMule that runs on both PowerPC based and Intel based Macs) then you can add the "--enable-universal_binary" parameter at the end of the second command. If you don't include this parameter wxMac and aMule will be compiled for your native architecture only.

'''Note:''' The above make command may take up to 50 minutes on a 1.33 GHz G4 processor, depending on the parameters you chose. A faster CPU will take shorter time.

'''Note:''' The above make command if given with the option -j 8 (make -j 8) will take 5 minutes on an 2,4Ghz Intel iMac

==== Compile [[aMule]] ====
Now ''cd'' into the ''amule'' folder, ''configure'' and ''make'':

'''Note:''' You can copy and paste the 4 lines for ''./configure'' in one go.

'''Note:''' This takes about 30 minutes on a 1.33 GHz G4.

bash: cd ~/Desktop/amule-cvs
bash: ./configure --with-wx-config=../wxMac-2.8.10/build/wx-config \
--enable-cas --enable-webserver --enable-amulecmd \
--enable-debug --disable-optimize --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/cryptopp

bash: make
bash: ./src/utils/scripts/mac_packager

'''Note:''' If you installed cryptopp with MacPorts use the last option "--with-crypto-prefix=/opt/local" because it has been installed there by default of MacPorts.

'''Note:''' If you don't want to compile aMule with debug information (see above) you can use "--disable-debug --enable-optimize" in the configure statement.

'''Note:''' In order to compile aMule as a Universal Binary (see above) you will need to add the following parameters to the configure statement:
--disable-dependency-tracking \
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \
CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"

'''Note:''' Under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher version, you should change the parameters like this:
--disable-dependency-tracking \
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" \
CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"

==== Running [[aMule]] ====
Once the mac_packager script has finished, you can move the aMule application from the amule-cvs folder to anywhere on your hard drive.
