Hi, I'm a long-time user of aMule. Today I freshly installed a new version of Ubuntu MATE 20.04 (focal) and I was surprised that aMule wasn't in the repository anymore. In the last couple of years I've had frequent crashes, I think after the latest version was released (2.3.2), and my searches always ended up with the same answer: compile aMule instead of using the repository version. Long story short, I've always been too lazy to do the whole process (I hate compiling, installing from a repository is much cleaner and easier to update and uninstall, imo), and the crashes happened almost always when I interacted with the program, so I just learnt to leave it alone as much as possible.
Today however I've finally been forced to compile aMule and, as I feared, problems arose. I'm following
this guide.
The main problem right now, that I didn't manage to solve, revolves around the
libgd2-xpm-dev package, that isn't available anymore. I tried to run the
./configure command anyway
./configure --prefix=/home/XXX/.aMule/bin --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-denoise-level=3 --enable-upnp --enable-geoip --enable-nls --enable-amule-gui --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --enable-alcc --enable-alc --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-mmap
but I get this message:
https://pastebin.com/taBvxLquI tried to install the missing package from
here, but I get the same message.
I saw that the message is only a warning, so maybe it won't interfere with compilation, but as I said I'm not particularly familiar with the whole process of compiling and I'd really like to have everything in order before I proceed, I'm not really in the mood for cleaning everything up at the moment if I end messing something up.
Btw, wouldn't it be better to have a .deb installer, or even better a .appImage executable?
Thanks in advance for your interest and your help!
Edit: it's probably not necessary, but here is the output of the two commands to see if I have only one installation of wx:
XXX@XXX:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/wx*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 mag 5 22:51 /usr/bin/wx-config -> /etc/alternatives/wx-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 125328 ott 29 2019 /usr/bin/wxrc
XXX@XXX:~$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/wx*
ls: cannot access '/usr/local/bin/wx*': No such file or directory
