Hi all:
Here is an image for 2.0.0rc7:
http://ptex.no.sapo.pt/aMule-2.0.0rc7.dmg.sit
It should only work under MacOSX 10.3, because it needs WebKit.
If it doesn't launch, please do the following:
* Place the program on the Desktop.
* Launch the Terminal from Applications > Utilities
* In the Terminal type:
~/Desktop/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/amuleand press Enter.
* Copy what the Terminal answers back (probably complaining about a missing lib) and send it to me.
This image has the debug info removed, otherwise it would be 45MB in size. However, I can make such a version available if necessary.
Thanks for testing it. Thanks to the aMule team for making such a great program.

You're welcome and we're very grateful for saving me time ;) Good work!

first: you were first. ;-)
question: does it work for you?
sorry, DL from you is dread slow...
i managed to build a static-linked amule too but it always hangs/stall when connecting to a server.
it only succeeded once to connect (to Korea_Only) but it had a low ID. :-(
i put my versions on
one with, one without debugging.
DL the archive, dbl-click will uncompress in StuffIt. try.
perhaps other folks can examine the console output and conclude s.th. wise.

yessss!

Yes, it does. I can connect to servers and download. I have only tried one music yet, but it worked.

Yes, I noticed that. Try it from here:

Your version also works on my system. I see nothing wrong with it. It is way cool, because it is much smaller then mine: 6MB vs 19MB 8o I use shared libs, and they take much more space.
Good work!

it don't launch for me
I get "Illegal instruction" in terminal by following your instructions
however m2kio's version did launch sucessfully and I will play around with that now
-
hi ptex,
my version works for you too and your version fails for me too. :(
so: why?
can s.o. give me advice how to nail down the function which does not return? i'm not great at debugging. sorry. Output from the stripped or unstripped version seems to be the same.
my system is 10.3 nearly out-of-box (installed 3 days ago), with all Apple Updates installed (except those for Apps i don't use). Additionally X11 installed, Classic active, also Fink, also GTK2 (Fink) and wxMac shared libs too. I'll remove them as a first try...
It's a G4/350 AGP updated to 1GHz with a Sonnet CPU upgrade. This should make no difference.
i dunno ;(
m2kio !
p.s.: also tried it on my iBook (G3/500): here works fine!
except that it crashed when i clicked on the resize window (green) button...
and just in case s.o. needs it, i have put a 'server.met' and 'ipfilter.dat' on .

your version works for me, but after connecting (low id) I get a spinning wheel forever, so not much I can use amule for since it has hung...
that is the nodebug version I am talking about
Will trying the debug version next

the spinning wheel is just what happens to me too as soon as amule starts connecting.
The debug version will make no difference. no need to try.
... m2kio !
aMule on the iBook just runs fine. with low id because of wrong port forwarding. Searching worked, now trying to download. Nothing got up to now. still waiting.
-
hi,
i found the difference:
if ip-forwarding in my router is set up to work, and i'm about to get a high id, then aMule stalls playing beachball.
if ip-forwarding does not work, and i only get low ids, then aMule does not stall.
... kio !
-
I had more luck with debug version
Some beachball now and then, but usable so far
Get low id sometimes, disconnect and get high id. Seems strange.
Why does amule make a invisible folder in my user dir named .amule ?
Why not a visible folder in Application Support ?
edit:
spoke to soon.
amule is more hung than not, so I will wait for a new version

Hi, m2iko, and all that have tried my version:
If it doesn't work, could you please launch it from the command line, with the instructions I placed on the original post? It is probably a lib that I forgot to include, but I don't know which it is if you don't tell me!
About the beachball: if you have lots of files shared, aMule takes forever to hash them, every time you launch it. It is a thread, so you might not notice it. The best way to check for that is to launch aMule from the command line. The hash thread prints lots of usefull stuff to the Terminal, so you know what it is doing.
This is the biggest problem I have found with aMule so far: the hash is loooong (5min), and the system slows down a lot while it is happening.

it starts ok, just hangs like mine. 8)
where can i disable autoconnect at startup w/o launching aMule? because i can't disable it from within: starts, autoconnects, hangs, crashes...
oh, just found the prefs file. thanks. :P
on my desktop Mac i have disabled autoconnect, but my ibook still tries. :]
... kio !
