Hi, is possible to have one more recent version?

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...

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.

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

(without "running as root" warning)

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 Wink

About the root warning:

Nota 1

Nota 2

This was taken from another Mensagem by dot

Hope it helps.

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 .

http://www.giovelug.org/index.php?lng=en&mod=download&pg=indice&c=5

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.

Big thanks!

You're welcome Smile

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

Ciao Smile

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.
