Title: Cannot update from 2.2.6 to 2.3.1 (64-bit)
Post by: King84 on April 03, 2012, 02:01:49 PM

Hi everybody,
everytime I open aMule I see these writings in the log:

Ciao a tutti,
ogni volta che apro aMule nel Log ci sono queste scritte:

Code: [Select]

[...]
[b]2012-03-29 08:10:58: Stai utilizzando una versione non aggiornata di aMule!
2012-03-29 08:10:58: La tua versione di aMule è la 2.2.6 e l'ultima è la 2.3.1
2012-03-29 08:10:58: L'ultima versione è sempre disponibile su http://www.amule.org[/b]
[...]
Which means "You are using a not updated version of aMule! / Your aMule version is 2.2.6, the last is 2.3.1 / The last version is always disposable on http://www.amulw.org"

I cannot understand what I have to do to update it!
I am using Linux Mint 11 64bit, in the Application AUpdate Manager Program, the most recension version is 2.2.6 (And not 2.3.1)

I believe noone made packages for Linux Mint. Either you bug your distro's packagers to upgrade, or you compile aMule yourself.

Already bugged 'em, but they didn't answer.

I want to compile it by myself.... HOW?

Mint is derived from Ubuntu -> http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/HowTo_Compile_In_Ubuntu

ale@beast /usr/share/crypto++ $ mkdir /home/ale/.aMule/wx

From the official wx homepage I just downloaded wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz in my home, so I write

Code: [Select]

ale@beast ~ $ tar xzf wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz
ale@beast ~ $ and it decompresses the archive into the folder named wxGTK-2.8.12

The guide says: "Extract it with tar xzf wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz. Make and cd to wx/build and run
../wxGTK-2.8.12/configure --with-gtk --without-libtiff --without-subdirs --enable-unicode --enable-optimise
then make "

[code]ale@beast ~/wxGTK-2.8.12 $ make
make: *** Nessun obiettivo specificato e nessun makefile trovato.  Arresto.
ale@beast ~/wxGTK-2.8.12 $
[/code]
... MAKE what?!? WHere? How??!?

Intuitively I cd to wx/build and run

Code: [Select]

ale@beast ~/wxGTK-2.8.12/build $ ../wxGTK-2.8.12/configure --with-gtk --without-libtiff --without-subdirs --enable-unicode --enable-optimise
bash: ../wxGTK-2.8.12/configure: File o directory non esistente
ale@beast ~/wxGTK-2.8.12/build $
Errors! WHy? What should I do?

I'm stuck!
The guide isn't right!
It is not explained in a good manner.

You are not supposed to use .aMule as the build directory, but it's not a problem.

The guide says: "Extract it with tar xzf wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz. Make and cd to wx/build and run

means simply

Code: [Select]

mkdir /home/ale/.aMule/wx
mkdir /home/ale/.aMule/wx/build
cd /home/ale/.aMule/wx/build
"mkdir" stands for "make directory".

Yes, it is.

Please switch your system language to English before posting command outputs like this. I can't read that, and won't bother to translate it.

One week and still nobody told me the exact syntax to update this damn program.
Is this possible, in 2012?
No 64-bit packages for Ubuntu?
WTF?

"Updating this damn program" (aka building it from source) is perfectly easy for people with some basic computer skills which you totally lack (along with communication skills, and understanding how to motivate people to spend their free time to help other people).

You are not even able to find the right forum for your rants. We are not responsible for Mint packages. Neither are the Ubuntu people btw.

For the record I want to make the point that the updating of aMule from version 2.2.6 to version 2.3.1 on Linux Mint 11 64-bit is now totally completed. I didn't need to contact Linux Mint, nor compiling myself the newer version, but simply asking for help on another forum which, evidently, is more qualified.

I'm afraid we can only send incompetent entitled Italian idiots there (http://www.linuxmind-italia.org/index.php?topic=13377.msg155031#msg155031).

It appears there are aMule packages for Debian Sid (http://packages.debian.org/sid/amule) that work for Mint too, that's all.
Since Ubuntu 12.4 will have aMule 2.3.1 packages as well, the next Mint version should have them too anyway.

Hey, did you delete Kry's post or what? Without it my last post makes not much sense.
