Working on aMule Compilation

During most time today, I was compiling the aMule and trying to understand each option's meaning. I realized one thing, which is that I really need to learn how to use GNU make tool. A useful book is downloaded. I will go through it and get the main points regarding to my experiment from there.

Today's main progress is:

I have compiled aMule's source code (2.2.6) and installed the accomplishment successfully.

I have also found an aMule wiki page regarding "HOW TO compile aMule on Mac". I have to say that aMule community is so powerful and friendly. I suppose that there must be the manuel of compilation for aMule for all mainstream platform. Everything can be found!!!!

Further works is:

  • learn how to use GNU make tool.
  • << Done! >> Find out if I can use IDEs like Eclipse or Visual Studio to view codes because it will make the codes more clearly to read.
  • It is time to write a story and find out some objectives instead of just doing computer geek stuff!! Try to think what should be involved. The previous papers regarding simulation would be helpful.
