You are correct with your steps and as you suspected, the tmp-directory in your home folder will be created in step 2. That's what the following command (mkdir = make directory; cd = change directory) does:

$ mkdir ~/tmp

The cpp-file is the same for 32 bit and 64 bit, but the resulting binary is different on a 32 bit and a 64 bit system.

[RRM]

Thank you!
So, i can use that cpp file now.
Ok, let me try then...

[RRM]

At step 5 i get the following response:

Code: [Select]

checking for zlib >= 1.1.4... no
configure: error: zlib >= 1.1.4 is required for aMule
how do i get zlib 1.1.4?
In the synaptic packet manager i only see

Code: [Select]

zlib1g
zlib1g-dbg
zlib1g-dev
zlib-bin
zlibc
zlib-gst
Is this one ok?
http://www.tucows.com/preview/8818

And how to install it?
Like this?

Code: [Select]

 % bzcat ${archive}/zlib-1.1.4.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
  % cd zlib-1.1.4
  % ./configure --prefix=${prefix} (add "--shared" to make shared-library)
  % make
  # mkdir ${prefix}
  # make install
But, what is the "%" and "#"?
I couldnt find them in UsingThe Terminal

Once i have it, should i repeat step 5?

[RRM]

Aaaaah, the "#" stands for the root directory!
But when i type

Code: [Select]

$ cd / i get "/$", so is "/$" the same as "#"?
But what does the "%" stand for?

[wuischke]

Hi,

stop, you got something wrong here: % means "executed by the normal user" and # means "executed by the root user or with sudo".

But all of this is not necessary: Please execute

Code: [Select]

sudo aptitude install zlib1g-devand the problem will be resolved.

[RRM]

Thanks for stopping me! 
zlib1g-dev is installed now.
So, i now have to repeat step 5?
This is what i got so far:

[RRM]

Oh, what the hack; i will just try and see what happens...

[RRM]

Okay, that works, but...

Code: [Select]

   The requested wxWidgets build couldn't be found.
    
    The configuration you asked for aMule requires a wxWidgets
    build with the following settings:
        --debug=yes --unicode=yes
    but such build is not available.
So, let me try without debug, no?

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/amule-opt/ --enable-geoip --enable-optimize --disable-debug --mandir=/share/bin

[RRM]

hmmm, now im getting this:

Code: [Select]

configure: WARNING:
        UPnP code has been disabled because libupnp >= 1.6.6 not found (try to use --with-libupnp-prefix=PREFIX).
checking for crypto++ version >= 5.1... no
configure: error:
Could not find crypto++ header file "cryptlib.h".
Please try again with --with-crypto-prefix=/my_crypto_prefix
(replace /my_crypto_prefix with a valid path to your crypto++
installation directory).
So, i need to get libupnp-dev in synaptic?
and crypt++el?

[RRM]

hmm, the libupnp-dev was correct, but not the crypt++el...

Code: [Select]

configure: error:
Could not find crypto++ header file "cryptlib.h".
Please try again with --with-crypto-prefix=/my_crypto_prefix
(replace /my_crypto_prefix with a valid path to your crypto++
installation directory).
So, what is the path of my crypto++ installation directory?
AAhhhh, its probably libcrypto++-dev, no?

[wuischke]

You might want to install the following packages:
libwxgtk2.8-dbg
libcrypto++-dev
libupnp3-dev

[RRM]

You might want to install the following packages:
libwxgtk2.8-dbg
libcrypto++-dev
libupnp3-dev

Thank you!
I only installed libwxgtk2.8-dbg,
because the other 2 i had already installed previously.
But, now i get:

Code: [Select]

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/amule-opt/ --enable-geoip --enable-optimize --disable-debug --mandir=/share/bin
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
Huh???
I think i accidentally left the terminal while i hadnt completed the process yet...
Can i pick up somewhere before?
What step?
(the tmp with amule inside is still there)

[RRM]

Aaaah, of course, amule is not in my home directory...
Stupid me...

[RRM]

Now i get this:

 *** Warnings during configuration ***

* You need to install GNU gettext/gettext-tools to compile aMule with i18n
  support.

* bfd.h not found or unusable, please install binutils development package if
  you are a developer or want to help testing aMule
there are quite a few gettext-tools in synaptic,
but i couldnt find anything related to bfd.h

[RRM]

Regarding the bfd.h, of course i had to install binutils-dev.
So, only the gettext tools remain...:

Code: [Select]

*** Warnings during configuration ***

  support.
And i guess thats important, because on this page i read:

Well... I always had that 100% issue with aMule and therefore only used eMule on a windows box.
With Feisty I also installed amule to see if it improved. Not at all... 100% as soon as it starts downloading.

Well... I've been searching around and someone suggested installing wxgtk2.8 and it's i18n support...
This seemed to have solved to problem for me. It's happily downloading and my CPU remains at 600Mhz, 6% load instead of 1.6Ghz with 100% load.

Maybe something like wx2.8-i18n?
or libtextwrap-dev?
gettext-kde?
(naturally im just guessing)
