aMule 2.1.3 and wxGTK 2.6.3 alien packages ready

[roscarob3]

Hi, is possible to have one more recent version?

[T_Hobbit]

It's possible to compile this without the start "running as root" warning?
The workaround is run as user spot, but spot don't have permission to write on a FAT32 partition...

[slapshot]

I donìt know about the warning as root user.
I'm working now to compile and packaging last recent version, even if it is still beta I think. It is not a 2.2 but a cvs snapshot. I will let you know soon.

[T_Hobbit]

The root warning it's an option that can be turn off before run "make".

[roscarob3]

@Slapshot

it would be perfect a cvs version

(without "running as root" warning)

Grazie

[slapshot]

Ok, I will try and compile latest wxWidgets and latest CVS aMule. I was not able to find the option to disable root warning, tough. If someone knows, please, tell me .

@roscarob3 : Prego

Bye

About the root warning:

Nota 1

Nota 2

This was taken from another Mensagem by dot

Hope it helps.

[slapshot]

Ok guys,

thanks for the tips.

Here you can download wxGtk 2.8.6, aMule CVS Snapshot and libbfd-2.17.50.0.17.20070615.so .

Follows some notes:

1. I compiled aMule without root warning
2. At fist start up aMule will warn you it is a cvs snapshot so it could give some problem
3. The library above needs to stay in /usr/lib . I don't know about it and why it is out of the packaging. I had it on my build system but not on my test Puppy 3.01 system, so I just copied it and aMule started with no problem
4. I called it aMule cvs 2.2.0 even if it is not released yet with that versioning.

[roscarob3]

work fine in my nop !
Thanks

(x me non se ne è accorto nessuno di questa tua nuova versione di amule bella e pronta, va benissimo!)

[slapshot]

@roscarob3

I think so . Anyway, I will post soon with this new packages for Puppy 3.x and with a new version of Edupup 2.0.

[T_Hobbit]

It's working great with Puppy3.01 and without the root warning! Great Job!
Big thanks!

[slapshot]

You're welcome

Glad you do like it. I will stay tuned about aMule 2.2.0 version to recompile it and publish again.

Ciao

Hello to all.
First I have to say I'm a real newbie, but my will is tough and I've searched a lot to solve my problem to avoid a reply here.
No info found on how to install Amule from a tar.gz file.

I'm running Puppy 3.01 from USB dongle, on a Thin Client (HP T5000)
I've managed to run the vncserver and accessing my NAS, but I'm trying without success to find a way to install tar.gz software.

Looking into the manual of 3.01 there's no explanation (instructions are only for PET files and .deb, using pd-debianinstaller)
I tried to use the infos in the link you gave in the first post ( http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Com ... stallation )

but there's a little problem...
make install has no effects ("bash: make command not found")
make as above
../install the same
./configure does not exist

PetGet can only manage PET files or PUP files.
Puppy Software installer is a mere browser (a good one) and simply unpacks the compressed files in a folder, without installing it..

so this is one of the most common packet extension and there's no way to install a tar.gz ?!

It seems that in the old versions of Puppy you had the chance to install tar.gz's from PupGet or PetGet, now the button for unofficial installation packets has been removed.

I know the for "professionals" this installation was done in 1 minute, but I have no idea on where/how get this Amule installed (and I didn't say "working

Thanks in advance if someone may help me.

ivanover,

The clue is the term alien package, and yes, you would have probably have needed to have been around on the forum for awhile to be across this.

To install an alien package, you do:

1) Start->Setup->Puppy package manager
2) Click "Click button to run the PETget package manager"
3) Click "Or, if you have downloaded a PET...official/unofficial...."
4) Change directory to package's location, select & Click OK.

And, hopefully, it installs OK, and runs seamlessly.

Thanks for your answer muggins.
I've put the same tar.gz file in two locations, one folder is located in the NAS and accessed with Samba, the other in a local folder, my-applications.
files in Samba folder are visible and you can manage them.

Trying to install with Puppy package manager, using the tar.gz located in the Samba folder, shows up this "TRY AGAIN, you must choose a PET file with .pet extension"

If I browse to "my-application" folder, installation seems to start but I get the infamous "not enough room to uncompress file".

My 2fs file has 300 free Mb.

I could use some time trying to solve the "not enough room" issue, if actually I can install tar.gz's

Puppy is almost complete, Amule in the only alien software that I need..

Thank again, cheers

If you just click on the packages, can you extract them using Pupzip,
( Xarchive)? If you can, then, in the extracted directory, if you right click the packages /usr directory, & choose Copy..., then copy this to /, everything should install to it's proper place.


Then if you run fixmenus in a console, & restart jwm, this should resolve any menu issues. (at least, without downloading anything & doing it myself, it works in theory for me!).

And again, many thanks Mr Muggins.

I should run away ashamed for not having checked properly this post.

The fact is Slapshot, who has started the thread and compiled the older release of Amule, told us where to get a brand new version of Amule in this link:

http://www.giovelug.org/index.php?lng=e ... indice&c=5

and finally it comes with a PET extension.

BUT, since I am a newbie as I already told you, your information has been pretty useful, I've just had a little discussion with a friend of mine and he explained me why put everything in / directory and son on.

Thanks for your help, you'll have a beer paid when I'll find wollogong on the map..
Oh, a beer for slapshot too!

Hi,

I've installed the packages on Puppy 3.01, and if I run amule, it says that libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 is missing. Where can I get it?

it could be:

http://www.giovelug.org/index.php?lng=e ... &c=5&pag=2

It's page 2 of the same link posted before.
But they're not the same libraries asked by your installation.

Probably you should install the Amule 2.2 CSV snapshot versione from the link, at page 1, then put the libraries where the system wants them.

cheers

[sno0opy]

Thanks ivanover. I've deinstalled the previous packages, and installed wxGTK 2.8.6 and aMule CVS 2.2.0, plus libbfd-2.17.50.0.17.20070615.so
, and now amule seems to work.
