To Compile aMule 2.2.6 on Debian 3.1 Sarge

aMule is a peer-to-peer file-sharing application. Although ed2k networks that aMule connects to have been shrinking in popularity, I prefer aMule over Bittorrent clients for its ability to create serverless P2P network (Kademlia). The aMule backported package for Debian 3.1 Sarge is outdated, so I compiled the latest version 2.2.6 of aMule on Debian Sarge. I installed the following packages first.

• binutils-dev
  
• bison
  
• flex
  
• g77
  
• g++
  
• gettext
  
• make
  
• libcrypto++-dev
  
• libgd2-noxpm-dev (or libgd2-xpm-dev)
  
• libgeoip-dev
  
• libgtk2.0-dev
  
• libjpeg62-dev
  
• libpng12-dev
  
• libreadline5-dev
  
• libsm-dev
  
• libtiff4-dev
  
• libxpm-dev

aMule depends on wxGTK library, but wxGTK library in Debian Sarge is also outdated. So I downloaded the latest wxGTK source (wxGTK-2.8.10.tar.gz) from wxwidgets.org. I compiled wxGTK in the following way. The --disable-shared option causes a static library to be built. This allows me to install aMule on another system without having to install a separate wxGTK library.

tar xzvf wxGTK-2.8.10.tar.gz

cd wxGTK-2.8.10/

mkdir buildgtk

cd buildgtk

../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-monolithic --enable-optimise --enable-intl --enable-unicode --enable-threads --enable-mousewheel --with-gtk=2 --with-libpng --with-libjpeg --with-libtiff --with-libxpm --with-regex --with-zlib --with-expat --disable-shared --disable-abi-incompatible-features --disable-no_rtti --disable-no_exceptions --disable-joystick --disable-compat24

make

make install

aMule can use libupnp if available. I downloaded libupnp-1.6.6.tar.bz2 from pupnp.sf.net and compiled it statically like this:

tar xjvf libupnp-1.6.6.tar.bz2

cd libupnp-1.6.6/

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --disable-shared

make

make install

Then, I built aMule in the following way.

tar xjvf aMule-2.2.6.tar.bz2

cd aMule-2.2.6/

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc --enable-geoip --disable-debug --enable-optimize

make

make install

Using Hex Editor to Make aMule work on Windows 9x/ME

I successfully compiled aMule for Windows. My own aMule binary worked fine on Windows XP and Windows Vista. But it failed on Windows ME with an error pop-up:

The AMULE.EXE file is linked to missing export
KERNEL32.DLL:SetFilePointerEx.

I searched Yahoo! for a solution to this problem using these keywords: missing export kernel32.dll setfilepointerex. I was led to this webpage. It is said that SetFilePointerEx can be replaced with SetFilePointer on Windows 98/ME. Rather than fixing it from the source level, I resorted to a hex editor to quickly fix the problem.

I downloaded XVI and opened amule.exe. I searched for the text string "SetFilePointerEx" and overwrote the ending "Ex" with hex strings "00 00".

aMule started alright. I hope it functions without a problem.

MinGW: Building aMule for Windows

aMule is a peer-to-peer file-sharing program for Windows, Linux, Mac and *BSD. aMule can be used to share files with users of eMule. This post describes the steps I took in building aMule for Windows.

1. First, install MinGW as shown in this post. Download pkg-config.exe and save it in /mingw/bin:

   
   
   
2. Install Strawberry Perl or ActivePerl. If you've already unpacked aMule source, open src/libs/ec/file_generator.perl with a text editor and modify the first line. If ActivePerl is installed:
   

   #!/c/Perl/bin/perl

   
   

   If Strawberry Perl is installed:

   
   

   #!/c/strawberry/perl/bin/perl

   
   
   
3. Download the Zlib source (zlib125.zip) and unpack it with unzip or 7zip. Then, compile Zlib like this:
   
   

   cd zlib-1.2.5/ 
   make -f win32/Makefile.gcc

   
   

   Manually copy the files as follows:

   
   

   cp -iv zlib1.dll /mingw/bin
   cp -iv zconf.h zlib.h /mingw/include
   cp -iv libz.a /mingw/lib
   cp -iv libzdll.a /mingw/lib/libz.dll.a

   
   
   

4. Build wxMSW statically and monolithically as shown in this post. Alternatively, you can also build wxMSW as shared library.

   
   
   
5. Download Crypto++ source (cryptopp560.zip) and extract it into a new folder:
   

   mkdir cryptopp
   cd cryptopp
   unzip ../cryptopp560.zip

   
   

   Prior to compiling Crypto++, I changed the line that define PREFIX at the beginning of GNUmakefile:

   
   

   # Default prefix for make install
   
   ifeq ($(PREFIX),)
   
   PREFIX = /mingw
   
   endif

   
   

   Then, I compiled Crypto++ with this command:

   
   

   make -f GNUmakefile

   
   

   Compile stopped on rijndael.cpp with the error: 'alloca' was not declared in this scope. So I added #include <malloc.h> to the beginning of rijndael.cpp and resumed make -f GNUmakefile. After make finished, I installed Crypto++ by typing:

   
   

   make -f GNUmakefile install

   
   

   The following files are installed under /mingw:

   
   

   bin/cryptest.exe
   
   include/cryptopp/
   
   lib/libcryptopp.a

   
   
6. Download GeoIP source from here. Compile GeoIP like this:
   
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw LDFLAGS="-L/mingw/lib -lws2_32 -lz"
   
   make
   
   make install

   
   

   The following files are installed.

   
   

   include/GeoIP.h
   include/GeoIPCity.h
   /include/GeoIPUpdate.h
   lib/libGeoIP.a
   lib/libGeoIP.la
   lib/libGeoIPUpdate.a
   lib/libGeoIPUpdate.la

   
   

   I created GeoIP.dll as follows:

   
   

   cd libGeoIP/.libs
   
   mkdir ws2_32
   
   cd ws2_32
   
   ar x /mingw/lib/libws2_32.a
   
   cd ..
   
   dllwrap --export-all-symbols --add-stdcall-alias -o GEOIP.DLL --dllname
   GEOIP.DLL GeoIP.o GeoIPCity.o regionName.o timeZone.o ws2_32/dkrgs00086.o ws2_32/dkrgs00082.o ws2_32/dkrgs00081.o -L/mingw/lib -lws2_32 -lz

   
   

   Then, I created an import library for GeoIP.dll like this:

   
   

   echo EXPORTS > geoip.def
   
   nm GEOIP.DLL | grep ' T _' | sed 's/.* T _//' | grep -i geoip >> geoip.def
   
   dlltool --def geoip.def --dllname GEOIP.DLL --output-lib libgeoip.dll.a

   
   

   Move GEOIP.DLL to /mingw/bin and libgeoip.dll.a to /mingw/lib. Then, modify /mingw/lib/libGeoIP.la as necessary.

   
   
   

   # The name that we can dlopen(3).
   dlname='../bin/GEOIP.DLL'
   
   # Names of this library.
   library_names='libgeoip.dll.a'

   
   
   

7. Build GNU regex library as shown in this post.

   
   
   
8. Get the latest libiconv source (libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz) and compile it like this:
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared
   make
   make install

   
   

   Then, get the latest gettext source (gettext-0.17.tar.gz) and compile it as follows:

   
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-threads=win32 --enable-relocatable --disable-shared
   
   cd gettext-runtime
   
   make
   
   make install

   
   
   

9. Get the aMule source and unpack it. I compiled aMule like this:

   
   

   ./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-geoip --enable-amulecmd --enable-alc --enable-alcc --enable-nls --enable-rpath --enable-optimize --disable-debug
   
   make
   
   make install

   
   

   aMule installs the following files under /mingw:

   
   

   bin/amule.exe
   bin/autostart-xas
   bin/ed2k.exe
   lib/xchat/plugins/xas.pl
   man/de/man1/amule.1

   To save disk space, you may choose to make the executable files smaller by running this command: strip *.exe

   
   
10. aMule uses GeoIP data if it is built with GeoIP support. You can copy GeoIP.dat from the GeoIP source package to the aMule folder.
    
11. Installing aMule is easy even without an installer. Just copy aMule and its files into a new folder, for example C:\Program Files\aMule. To create a shortcut in the Start menu, go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu and create a shortcut there.
