how to build aMule from sources
« on: October 28, 2005, 05:25:01 PM »
hello. recently y finished " ./configure && make " of aMule-2.0.3. i'm running it from "aMule-2.0.3/src/aMule & ". i would like to build it into an exec file. i red i must run " make install ", but since i'm not root, i get a " permision denied " when trying to write on "/usr/lib"

question 1: how can i build aMule into an exec file specifing where i want it to be installed and where its dependencies (wsGTK-2.6.1) are placed ??? i know this is a linux question rather than an aMule question, but i will appreciate if you help me anyway........ thanks !!

when i connect, i always recive a lowid.

question 2: there is any way i can get a highid ? i am behind a proxy and a firewall, i don't know if thats way i get lowid...................

thank you !

bye.

1) check ./configure --help There are some configure switches like --prefix= where you can set where everything should be installed. With --prefix=/home/user/amule/ you install everything there on make install. Per default this is set to /usr/local for which you need root privileges. Same goes for wx, it has a similar configure switch. There's a howto on wiki if you want to use a wx that is installed as a user: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/SuSE_9.3_install_at_home

2) If you have to use amule's proxy settings you will always get a lowID. Same goes if you are behind a firewall and can't open ports. Nothing you can do about it if you can't change that config...

also for question 1: you can simple copy the amule-binary around, and place it anywhere you like....

aslong as you dont messup the wxGTK-libs its all fine....
