Hello,

After spending hours on compiling, being my first time by the way, I would like to share my latest working version (finished now) for testing, debugging and advice. For information purposes, the complete logs of ./configure and make commands are enclosed.
It is based on the wiki tutorial (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_compile_on_Mac) with some extra libraries installation for missing or outdated versions using macports or source code (f.e. crypto++ 5.6) based on the received ./configure output.
As mentionned in the Wiki, you may have to install mac ports 1.7.1 since geoip is active (not tested !):
"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. "

Please feel free to ask me any questions !

Thank you for your work, but please do not cross post. Same post in three boards is overdoing things.

Did you find errors in the Wiki article? Can you update it to reflect your results?

[matthis]

Thanks for your work!

Could anyone make the file available, because it has "reached the download limits" ...
 Thanks

[lindamar]

Sure,

there you go:  http://rapidshare.com/files/233202859/aMule.zip

Hi. Thanks for the link to download this.  I did and am wondering if this version is only for Leopard?
I am running Tiger and followed the instructions (copied the app to my app folder) but when I double click on it to open it, nothing happens.
I have never had any luck running amule on my mac and thought I would give it another try but looks like I am destined to keep using torrents!  Can't get my head (or my computer) around the amule.
Back in my old PC days, emule worked fine for me.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm using aMule on Tiger, 2.2.3 version, and works!
i'm looking at mirko's and gtoso's thread waiting an intel-tiger working compiled version of 2.2.4... Maybe we're next...

[scalimani]

Try this one, it's the last stable release (thanks to gtoso!)

http://gtoso.tor.it/pub/amule/osx/2.2.3/aMule-2.2.3-GeoIP-OSX10.4+.dmg

If it doesn't start you could try trashing this folder:
~/Library/Application Support/aMule

[guruweb]

Nooo, the whole folder? Loosing the credits!

I've already read that there are a new version. Try it!

[Festor]

Try this one, it's the last stable release (thanks to gtoso

And this? http://gtoso.tor.it/pub/amule/osx/2.2.5/

[scalimani]

I was not convinced by that "aDebug" in the name... And I didn't see 2.2.4 or 2.2.5 releases in the official download page, so I supposed there was still some work to do!

[Festor]

Debug != Hell

 

[gtoso]

I always preferred to disable debug, enable all optimizations (no exaggeration) and strip binaries.
But I realized that unfortunately there are always problems and/or crashes and so find the cause becomes impossible.
On the other hand, if you enable debugging in aMule and wxMac the application becomes too big and slow.
So I chose to enable debug only in aMule:
leaving all logging disabled it works fine on recently mac, but on my old G3 it's perhaps a bit slower.

What do you think? I do also a package without debugging? But something tells me that then everyone would use only this 

[GodzFire]

I just want a plain ole 2.2.5 stable UB.

[gtoso]

I just want a plain ole 2.2.5 stable UB.

Have you tried my 2.2.5? See here.
It has also debug enabled, but it should be ok.
