Hi Kry,
got hold of aMule-cvs-20040916.tar.bz2 and compiled it without any problem. Ah, the "update serverlist"-button works now.
Everything seems ok, though some "problems" could be possibly be removed easely (their low-importance show, that the comming rc6 release will be very usable! :-):
* the app-Container is always needed if you want to start the freshly compiled amule without a .aMule-dir. From the shell (e.g. with amule-cvs/src/amule) the initial dialog informing you, that you run amule for the first time doesn't react on clicking the OK-Button or keys etc. . Only if you run amule with "open -a amule" copied to the app-Container (or via duble-clicking the amule-app-container via finder), the OK-button gets clickable. After that, you can start amule from the shell directly. strange...
* calculateing the hashes of local files seems very slow to me compared to my slower linux PC (700 MHz). I have files around 650 MBs. amule takes about 65% of my iBook G4 CPU, so CPU should not be the bottleneck there (?). But then again, since I quit amule, the fan has stopped (uff), so maybe nonetheless CPU beeing too much stressed?
* When you fist start amule on OS X, the window is too large and there is no way you could grab the bottom-right resize-corner of the window, because the corner is not visible. Took me some time to realize I had to press the green "+" sign to get the whole window fit to my screen. I think amule should start with this "full screen size" size initially, if this is possible. But then again, I'm just not a real mac user, maybe all mac users now laugh at me?...
* All locally shared filename on my list appear with characters beeing replaced after the 21 first letters. For example "Pi (by Darren Aronofsky - 1998).avi" becomes "Pi (by Darren Aronofs#7F735.avi". Shorter Filenames like Jazz10.ogm appear right.
* Although I'have redirected port 4661 to 4672 on my router to my Mac, I don't get connected to none of my 66 servers in the serverlist (serverlist from the default URL on the first pane). Under Linux, everything works this way, even receiving a high-ID. After the message "connecting to server XY" and then "having connected to server XY", the message "lost connection to server XY" appears one second later (or even in the same second) and the next server is tried an so on...
What could that be??
* If I select a dir to share which contains sub-dirs, I get this message in the bottom left corner of amule: "can't open file '/Users/xxx/Züri West'", even though 'Züri West' is a subdirectory and no file. Maybe the german "Umlauts", maybe the space in the dirname?
Thanx a lot for this piece of software and the already very smooth port to OS X !!!
