Summary0000106: aMule requires wxBase for web support but wxGTK already provides it all
DescriptionDuring configuration aMule only accepts to compile web support if it finds wxBase installed.

I believe this isn't necessary as wxGTK seems to already provide everything aMule needs from wxBase.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThis issue appeared in Gentoo bugtrack. Gentoo doesn't have an ebuild (Gentoo package, sort of, but better...) for wxBase.

Right now the way to go in Gentoo is to:

export WXBASE_CONFIG_NAME=wxgtk-2.4-config

to trick aMule to believe there is a wxBase installed.

I believe aMule configuration should be aware of that and not require wxBase if wxGTK is available.

Or at least the above hack should be mentioned in aMule documentation (INSTALL and/or README). It-s much easier than compiling the whole wxBase ;)

IIRC, the point is that it's silly to link the webserver against the full wxGTK GUI libs, hence the refusal. However, I'll make sure the other devs are aware of this bug.

on wx 2.4.2 wxGTK does not support real wxBase.
On wx 2.5.x yes it does. So install wx 2.5.1 and run configure again. You'll notice you do not depend on wxBase anymore :-)
