I was searching for a good ed2k client running with FreeBSD, I used mldonkey but it wasn't realy what I was looking for, I tried xMule but xMule was a little weird with the connection ( I had the first time a high ID, and when I reconnected I had a low id but my port was forwarded on my router ) A friend told me about aMule, he used it and it worked great. So there was the reason for me to try it.

So I tried to add the FreeBSD package, but it was missing on the freebsd server. Then I downloaded the aMule 1.2.8 port and tried to install it, but then I got this:

bash-2.05b# make install clean
===>  Extracting for aMule-1.2.8
>> Checksum OK for aMule-1.2.8.tar.gz.
===>  Patching for aMule-1.2.8
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for aMule-1.2.8
===>   aMule-1.2.8 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>   aMule-1.2.8 depends on shared library: wx_gtk2-2.4.0 - found
===>   aMule-1.2.8 depends on shared library: curl.3 - not found
===>    Verifying install for curl.3 in /usr/ports/ftp/curl
===>   Returning to build of aMule-1.2.8
Error: shared library "curl.3" does not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/admin/amule.
bash-2.05b#

But:

bash-2.05b# pkg_info | grep curl
curl-7.10.7         Non-interactive tool to get files from FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S)
bash-2.05b#

This is what I get with locate:

bash-2.05b# locate curl.3
/usr/local/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz
/usr/local/share/doc/curl/libcurl/libcurl.3
/usr/ports/ftp/curl/work/curl-7.10.7/docs/libcurl/libcurl.3
bash-2.05b#

aMule 1.2.8 stable wouldn't work so I tried the 2.0.0rc5 release because some people on the IRC chan said it was realy good:

bash-2.05b# make install clean
===>   aMule-2.0.0rc5 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/libcryptopp.a - found
===>   aMule-2.0.0rc5 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>   aMule-2.0.0rc5 depends on shared library: wx_gtk2-2.4.0 - found
===>   aMule-2.0.0rc5 depends on shared library: curl.3 - not found
===>    Verifying install for curl.3 in /usr/ports/ftp/curl
===>   Returning to build of aMule-2.0.0rc5
Error: shared library "curl.3" does not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/admin/amule.
bash-2.05b#

So the ports both wouldn't work, so I tried to compile aMule 1.2.8 myself ( as user ), I'm running windowmaker so I configured it like this:

./configure --prefix=/home/frank/amule --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config --with-wxbase-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/wxgtk-2.4-config --disable-systray

The compiling was OK, no errors so I tried to run it, everything seemed to be fine but in the transfer window I didn't see my transfers. Although I was uploading. Just above the downloads window was "Downloads(2)" so was downloading, but there wasn't anything visible in the downloads window ( no filenames, no sizes no speed no progress bar etc. ) And the same story for the uploads.

Since I use 1.2.8 there is in preferences --> tweaks  no such thing as refresh time in download window. So that won't work ether.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get aMule working ?

Did you try to rm ~/.eMule ?

[WarzoneCommand]

Jep, also tried but didn't make a difference, exept that I had to change my preferences again.

[cwsdoom]

perhaps uninstalling libcurl (ftp/curl) and letting the amule port reinstall it helps...

[WarzoneCommand]

Hmm I think that port doesn't realy function well. I indeed removed curl ( pkg_delete curl-7.10.7 ) and did make install clean for amule again, but it doesn't try to install curl

Does anyone have this port working with FreeBSD ?

[cwsdoom]

hm, they both work fine here (freebsd 5.2.1)... and it is definitely the right way to look for curl...

[WarzoneCommand]

Hmm would you mind checking what you get with locate on curl.3 ?

first update your locate database:

/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

then:

locate curl.3

[cwsdoom]

the port looks for:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.3

[WarzoneCommand]

Yes indeed, found out yersterday with the help of Linuxsys. Thanx for you help all it works now and i can see my transfers
