Hi,

Previously I had a lot of problems with amule, I compiled it with "emerge amule", and it always crashed after less than 1 hour.

I found that there is a pretty simple way to make amule stable : edit /etc/make.conf, and just delete all your CFLAGS (or comment them before emerging amule), so that it doesnt try to optimize it while compiling. Thats what i did, and now amule has been running for more than 36 hours without a crash :-)

Another tip to have a fast amule : disable gtk2 before emerging, or type :
USE="-gtk2" emerge amule
So it links it against gtk1, and not this crappy slow gtk2...

Don't ask me why...

What are your CXXFLAGS? I've been using aMule under gentoo for a while and it's been mostly stable (only mostly because I run a cvs build ), even though I use the same CXXFLAGS as for everything else.

Wow, you run a CVS build? I hope is not the last week - it's rather... dangerous

Anway gentoo has proven to have serious problems with amule, and I can't understand it anyway. But if that's the way to go and gentoo amule runs nice with it, I can post it as howto.

Thanks for the report, keep around

About my CXXFLAGS, they are empty :
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

-gtk2 is needed by wxGTK ebuild, if you read amule ebuild you can see that the USE is not checked... so, eventually type

Code: [Select]

USE="-gtk2" emerge wxGTK
optimizations are not related to interface bug founded by some gentoo users

Heh, that means that your CXXFLAGS are the same as your CFLAGS. So the question is now, what are your CFLAGS?

CFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -falign-functions -falign-jumps -falign-loops
