here is my mofified ebuild to try to solve some problems. I don't know if the way I make it, is the best but it's working for me. So if you (developer) think that some of this can help to bring amule 1.2.4 to stable go ahead. I've emerged wxgtk with this options: USE="X -gtk2 -unicode opengl qt kde acpi alsa 3dnow mmx tcltk" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 24339 [details] the mentioned ebuild unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS => because there are some ssues like you can see in the INSTALL/README file of amule-1.2.4 zlib-1.1.4= because I've see it working with this version in other distros (Slackware) with no problems and the 1.2.1 version is only avaliable with "~arch"
I'm sorry but I didn't solve the stability problems, because after about six hours I have amule crash again (the interface hangs). I think that is related with wxGTK and GTK2, but when I emerge wxGTK I've set -gtk2 -unicode in USE. I'm really confused... because I can't find where is the problem...
I've been searching and posting in amule's forum, and I've get one conclusion: The main problem is with wxGTK, because gentoo links wxGTK with a lot of libraries, specially with gtk2, and amule only work with gtk. I've set USE=- gtk2 -unicode and reemerge wxgtk but it continues to hang the interface. I've found one instalation how-to at amule's forum maybe it can help http://web478.server7.webplus24.de/amule/howto.php Why I don't have feedback from the Gentoo developer's? Is this too stupid? I guess no, because amule is the beste linux client for edonkey networks, nad 1.2.4 version has a lot of bugfixes. Anyway I will try to compile wxGTK like in the howto and I will post there the results.
could you try 1.2.5 ?
I will try when I will have some time (maybe only for the next week, sorry). But I can say one thing I've compiled by hand the 1.2.5 and wxGTK+wxBase by hand, like the aMule team says on their HOW-TO, and running a vanilla kernel (2.6.2) and I have more stability. I really don't know what happens with gentoo, because under other distros like debian, amule runs ok. I have interface hangs, but amule still downloads, but with my recent combination I have a few more hours of stability. I would like to see what the gentoo developers have to say, because I'm running out of possible causes. Anyway I have opened one topic in gentoo forum, please check it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=130187
I have seen some problems with the libraries and gave a possible fix to the amule forum. You can see it here: http://web478.server7.webplus24.de/amule/thread.php?sid=&postid=5391#post5391 Hope this will work or we have to find the bug somewhere else.
well, I've tried the emule 1.2.6 with the ebuild above and I'm running it, with about 22h of uptime. (hard to get in the latest tests). Here is is what I've done: 1- emerge -C gtk+2 2- remove all wxwindows stuff, and older version of amule 3- EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-gtk2" USE="-gtk2 -unicode" emerge wxGTK (arch="x86") 4- make the ebuild and emerge amule 1.2.6 (the zlib version, is the one at stable gentoo, as you can see in ebuild)
Created attachment 25856 [details] amule 1.2.6 ebuild the ebuild used to emerge amule 1.2.6. I really hope this helps!
this was put into portage a couple days ago...
