MLDonkey is a multi-protocol P2P file-sharing program for Windows, Mac and Linux. Unlike eMule, MLDonkey supports Bittorrent, FastTrack and DirectConnect networks, too. Compiling MLDonkey requires OCaml compiler toolchain. First, download and install the following Ocaml stuff. These are names of required Debian packages:
ocaml-native-compilers
camlp4
ocaml-nox
Then, install these libraries:
zlib1g-dev
libbz-dev
libgd2-xpm-dev
libmagic-dev
Now, you are ready to compile MLDonkey. Change directory to the MLDonkey source tree and type these commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu
make release.mlnet.static
You'll get a tarball, for example, mldonkey-3.0.0.static.i586-Linux_glibc-2.7.tar.bz2. Keep it at a safe place. Now, extract the tarball to a directory, for example, /opt. In the extracted folder, you'll find an executable, mlnet. This is just a command-line program, so you need a GUI frontend, such as Sancho.
