Hey everybody,

I try to use the guide in http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_compile_on_Win32-de to compile amule (aMule-CVS-20050805.tar.bz2) for windows. The main reason is to test amulegui. Have I taken the right file for this?

Everything is ok until

Code: [Select]

13. ./configure --with-zlib=/home/(Benutzername)/aMule/zlibdll/ --disable-debug --enable-optimize --enable-staticIt results in

Code: [Select]

So seems that zlib cannot be found.  I don't know why:

The wiki-page doesn't tell to compile zlib. Is this missing or really not necessary? However, I compiled zlib with configure, make, make install (no options). No erros occured, but the error remains the same.

Any hints?

Try replacing "(Benutzername)" with your actual username.

Like shown in line 1 of the second code-paragraph, I did that. My windows-name is "me".

XAignar has been pwned

Read the english version of the page. it's up-to-date and shows what to do with zlib

Thanks, compilation finished without errors.

By the way, I updated the german "HowTo_compile_on_Win32"-page:
[http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_compile_on_Win32-de]

Ok, next question.

Why is the "User name" in amulegui client hardcoded "amule"?

[GonoszTopi]

Because aMule does not have yet multiuser support, but aMulegui connect dialog was taken from the future, so it already has a "'username" field. Whenever we'll have true multiuser support, this field will be enabled too. At the moment it has no meaning at all. (The default text for the control could be anything of course, maybe an empty default value would fit your needs more)
