 Compiling [[aMule]]/[[aMuleWeb]] on [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris] x86 is not a straight-forward process. There are some issues, like [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris] having its own iconv and libintl libraries, its own make command, its own linker (ld) and assembler (as) commands, having a strange default PATH, not having by default some commands and libraries required or them being outdated and having different versions of some commands on different paths. This page is what I used to compile [[aMule]] starting from a fresh, just installed [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris] x86 OS. YMMV if you have installed other libraries or software.

 It has been reported that under Solaris 11, aMule compiled fine using this compiler: http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/info/0/runtime%2Fgcc%404.6.2%2C5.11-0.151.1%3A20111222T011404Z more info can be obtained in this thread: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=19412.0

 Last, but not least, this guide works '''only''' for [[aMule]] versions (either SVN or release) starting March 7th/2005, no previous [[aMule]] version will compile on [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris Solaris] following this guide.
 Thanks goes to all the [[aMule devs|aMule dev team]], specially [[User:Kry|Kry]], who helped me a lot, and [[User:ken|ken]] for the ''CPPFLAGS'' tip.
