aMule won't start
« on: April 03, 2006, 10:12:55 PM »
Hi, I managed to compile aMule 2.1.1 under MacOS X using the wxWidgets 2.6.3. But now when I open my .app the icon bounces in the dock for some seconds but then nothing happens. What could be the problem? Thanks.

Hello NiKo!

Could you please launch aMule out of a terminal and post the output here?

Is that official sources or modded ones?

Official souce, but without debug. Should I recompile it using debug?

Ok, I've just compiled it with debug enabled. The error is always the same, bus error.

Wrong compilation/linking.

./configure --enable-optimize --enable-kad-compile --disable-debug --disable-systray --disable-gtk --with-wx-config=../wxMac-2.6.3/build/wx-config

This is what I used to configure aMule and this is for wxMac:

./configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --enable-largefile

I also used --build=powerpc-apple-darwin8, --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8 e --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8 for both the compilations.

I think I ran into similar problems when I compiled aMule this weekend. I updated wx at the same time, so I couldn't tell if the issue was caused by wx or aMule. I also messed up my previous wx install and then ran out of time to investigate further.

It seems, however, that you did not use current amule cvs code (because it does not compile on Mac without modifications), so the issue is likely caused by wx.

The last wx that I used to successfully compile aMule was CVS from 2006-03-07, you can get it with the following syntax:
Code: [Select]
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/pack/cvsroots/wxwidgets login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/pack/cvsroots/wxwidgets checkout  -D "03/07/06 02:00:00 PST" wxWidgets

Current aMule CVS builds for OS X can be found here.

Thanks, I'm compiling the wxWidgets from the CVS. I'll let you know as soon as I finish.

Also, when an app crashes like this, it probably produces a CrashReporter log.  (This applies when you launch from the Finder, not when you run from the command line in Terminal.)  You can use Applications -> Utilities -> Console to view the console.log, where it will tell you that the app crashed and a crash report was logged.  Then you can press the Logs button in the toolbar and navigate to ~/Library/Logs -> CrashReporter -> amule.crash.log to see the crash report.  In some cases, this will help us figure out where it's crashing and why.  (In this case, lionel77 probably knows more about what's going on than I.)

My aMule stopped working yesterday. When I doubleclick the icon, nothing happens. The icon in the Dock bounces, but aMule won't start.
This is what I get using the Terminal:

dyld: /Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/amule Undefined symbols: /Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOs/amule undefined reference to _TXNGetCommandEventSupport expected to be defined in Carbon
