Upgrading to MLDonkey 2.9.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.1 LeopardEdit

Created , updated

These notes were made while upgrading to MLDonkey 2.9.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard.

Building

wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mldonkey/mldonkey-2.9.3.tar.bz2
tar xjvf mldonkey-2.9.3.tar.bz2
cd mldonkey-2.9.3
./configure

Note that seeing as this is the first time I’ve tried to build MLDonkey on Leopard, I received the following prompt during configuration:

--------------------------------
     Checking Ocaml compiler.
--------------------------------
checking for ocamlc.opt... no
checking for ocamlc... no
checking for camlp4... no
********  Objective-Caml 3.10.1 is required  *********
*******  Check http://caml.inria.fr/  ********
Do you want this script to try to download and install ocaml
LOCALLY in mldonkey directory ?
y
Downloading ...

When that is done (several minutes later):

make

Testing

To make sure things work first run mlnet:

./mlnet

You can then test using the web interface (connect to: http://localhost:4080/) or via telnet:

telnet localhost 4000

Installing

sudo make install
