I compiled amule 2.1.0 from sources in Mac OSX, to get the amulegui binary I used under linux, but when I laungh it, it seems blocked: the principal windows to connect to server appear but after that i can't do anything..
can someone help me??  ;( ;(

[stefanero]

so remote-gui works from linux-linux? but when you lunch your new compiled remote-gui on macos it does not?

can you post some info from the terminal?

does it say anything there?

[ark0n3]

yes it's like you said.. now i'll try to recompile it.. only one thing: is there someone who's able to use amulegui under osx? maybe i made something wrong, and i can try to change, but i'd like to know if i'm working for something.. :/

[ark0n3]

:/ nothing to do..
the error it gives when i launch it with --verbose is
"catalog file for domain "amule" not found and amulegui and everything related to it is blocked: the only thing i can do is to close it clicking on the red button
PLEASE help me ..

Just for the records, we put together a working amulegui yesterday on IRC. If someone else is interested in it just bug ark0n3 about it.  

If it turns out that are a few more people are interested in amulegui I might post a ready-to-use version of amulegui whenever I post an aMule CVS build. I was thinking about doing the same thing for amuled anyway.


PS: I've deleted the other thread as it was redundant with this one.

I'm desesparatly trying to compile amulegui on MacOS X since 2.1.0. it worked nice with 2.0.3 , but every time i compile the new one i have the same problem that you encountered (with the same issue when i launch it with --verbose). I compile it with wxmac 2.6.1 as it's described in the wiki. Could you help me ? I prefer to know how fixing it instead of a precompiled one. Thank you very much.

[wuischke]

Maybe you should try to use a newer version of wxMac. Afaik are all builds made with wxCVS or wx 2.6.3r2.

[lionel77]

While I agree with wuischke that you should use more recent wx code, the main reason why you can't get it to work is because amulegui needs to be copied into a properly set up application bundle.

I just dug through old irc logs to find ken's instructions on how to get amulegui running on the Mac. Turns out the whole process is much easier than I remembered:

[3:25:22 PM] Basically, duplicate aMule.app, copy amulegui into Contents/MacOS, edit the Info.plist so that the CFBundleExecutable is "amulegui", and you're set.

[CapitaineNemo]

I have compiled wxmac 2.6.3 in static, and it have the same behaviour as before. So i have installed it with fink, but with fink he doesn't compile at all. It block without saying why. And for the package i have make one who worked pretty well with amule 2.0.3. I have made another to test it integrity but it's not that. Thank you for yout answers but my problem remain.

[lionel77]

Hmm... I did a quick test. I compiled amulegui from recent amule cvs code (rev6636 -- about 3 days old) and wxWidgets cvs 2006-03-07. It works just fine here.

CaptaineNemo, if you're getting the error "catalog file for domain 'amule' not found", then you need to create the package by copying a proper aMule.app application.  The empty skeleton aMule.app that is in the source distribution is not sufficient.

Basically, aMule.app includes a catalog of translations of the strings in aMule so they can be presented in various languages.  Your package probably doesn't contain this catalog, if you're creating it yourself.  That seems to be what the error is complaining about.

If you prefer to know exactly what's going on, you can read the mac_packager script in the source tarball (in src/utils/scripts).  In fact, a little judicious editing of that script would allow you to create an aMuleGUI.app from scratch in exactly the way that we create official aMule.app releases.

[CapitaineNemo]

Thank you Ken and Lionel 77 i have solved the problem of the catalog file, but when i want to connect to my amule daemon, amulegui still get freezed. i can only kill it. It do that from the beginning and i thought that it was because of the catalog file. I was wrong. Anyone have an idea of what i have ? I have compiled wxmac several times at several places, with or without being shared and it allways do the same thing... I didn't wrote here before testing eveything i could do. If some one have an idea ? And if someone could send me a binary version that work to test if it's a problem of my compilation of amulegui or another problem on my computer. Thank you.

Hi all,

I have a linux box with no gui and amuled running (2.1.3 stable)
I have two clients with win32 and linux amulegui clients.
Now my xmas gift was a MacBook: Wonderful thing!

So I'm searching for a prebuilt package with amulegui for macosx, and I can test your versions, if any available. With this pc i would not like to install all the compilers and libraries... but sure I would like to have a amulegui client on macosx.
Now I'm still stuck with 2.1.3 stable release.
Can someone point me to a prebuilt package for macosx?

[lionel77]

I'm in the process of preparing a new cvs release. If everything works well, I will also upload a universal version of amule-gui.

I'm planning on bundling some Growl scripts and a modified version of the aMule Dashboard widget with the release. I'll probably need a few more days to get everything done and to compile some docs for those extras, but it should not take longer than a week.

[acehigh]

I'm surely gonna test.
I would also like a 2.1.3 stable release of amulegui to avoid any problems  of interface with the server (at the moment i would stay with the 2.1.3 server).
If everything works fine, I could also (and quickly)  compile and test a CVS version for linux, to test your CVS client on macosx
