Summary0001463: impossible to build GTK 1.x version
Descriptionthe aMule compile process requires wxGTK be built in unicode mode, however the compile process of wxGTK(any version) says that unicode is not supported in GTK 1.x, and according to install instructions in the INSTALL file it should have worked.

also, the parameter --with-wxversion= does not represent a wxversion, instead it means the emulation of that version within the 2.8.x wxGTK.

how is it possible to build amule without unicode ?
because --disable-unicode and --without-unicode do not work, and the configure script does not show any options related to that.

I have tried to discuss this in the forum but was unable to register because the verification does not work and webmaster email address cannot be found anywhere in the site

wxGTK was built:
./configure --prefix=/opt/wx --disable-compat26 --enable-no_exceptions --enable-no_rtti --disable-profile --disable-mem_tracing --disable-gtk2 --disable-debug --disable-debug_flag --disable-debug_info --disable-debug_gdb --disable-debug_cntxt --enable-optimise --enable-unicode --with-gtk --with-unicode

aMule was built:
./configure --prefix=/opt/amule --disable-debug --disable-upnp --enable-optimize --disable-profile --disable-amulecmd --disable-amule-gui --disable-amule-daemon --disable-webserver --disable-cas --disable-wxcas --disable-ed2k --disable-alc --disable-alcc --disable-systray --disable-geoip --disable-unicode --without-unicode

this error maybe because exceptions should not have been disabled in wxGTK:

of corse this is an attempt to build a gtk2 version of amule

it seems that it can be fixed by doing:
export CXXFLAGS="-frtti -fexceptions"
prior to ./configure
which btw, was not mentioned in the INSTALL documentation instructions

I think I missed the part that tells how to display the full compiling process output (full commandline, aka classic view etc)

aMule simply does not build without unicode.
Sign-up on the forum works, we have new users all the time.
