BLFS 11.3: aMule fails to compile

jr_bob_dobbs · 08-24-2023, 07:48 PM

My BLFS 11.3 is going well. Slowly more packages get added. Four window managers are in and working. Xorg is fine. Audio working as it should. ffmpeg and many codecs are installed. Audacious plays.

I am trying to compile aMule and it's failing. The output of the make:

The occurances of "wx" in the error message imply something with wXwidgets but that was previously installed exactly the way aMule wants it: the configure phase of aMule is very fussy yet clear & specific about that.

Anyway, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone else had this problem and somehow got through it?

Thank you in advance.
