Newbie compiling aMule
« on: November 07, 2005, 02:03:58 PM »

Hello all,

I'm a new user to aMule and just downloaded version 2.0.3. I'm using Slackware 10.2, kernel-2.6.14, gcc-3.3.6. What else I need to inform?

I ran ./configure and the following messages came back:

 See the above error on gd check for solutions.

Should I worry about anything? What's this gd-lib? Where do I get it from?

thanks in advance!

the search feature of this forum is really great ;) since most questions are answer already 10 times but ok :))

this should be fixed in most cases if you also do

--enable-cas

when compiling, since this was a configure bug in 2.0.3 if it does not fix the error msg then you dont have gd installed

you need gd-lib for images in the webserver and also images in cas.

if you really dont ahve gd-lib check your slackware packages it should be there somewhere, also check taht you install libpng if you want to use the webserver!

Hello, stefanero,

I've found out I have libpng-1.2.8 installed. I haven't found gd-lib, but I got it from http://www.boutell.com/gd/.

Now I've run ./configure --enable-cas, make and make install as I write this. everything seemed to be fine.

thanks!
