How to get and install aMule on Apple Mac OS X.
Binary releases
If you don't want to bother with installing and compiling all those tools and sources, then get one of the pre-compiled aMule applications. The official release is considered 'stable', but every now and then applications are built from the current source to allow more people to test new features or the like.
Check the Mac forum for the most recent user posted binary: aMule forum
Now, to install the downloaded binary, just drag the aMule application to a folder of your choice (e.g., /Applications).
To start aMule, double-click the application icon.
Note: You might want to take a look at the Mac-specific usage article.
Compiling from source
Compiling from source allows most current bug reports, because you can compile and test the SVN snapshot of the very day.
To compile aMule from source you need some development tools, the wxWidgets library and the aMule source.
Get the sources and development toolsStep 1: Download and install Xcode
Xcode is Apple's development environment. We need it for the GCC compiler.
You will need at least version 2.1 of Xcode, a more recent version is preferable though. You can download the most recent version of Xcode from Apple, but you will need to sign up for a free-of-charge developer account first or log-in using your iTunes Store account.
Step 2: Install MacPorts
MacPorts is an open source installer for lots of open source tools ported to Mac OS X. aMule needs a few of these tools to compile properly. Alternatively,

You can list all available variants with:
Notes about Universal variant
As stated here, MacPorts has different build_arch settings for universal variant. You can use this variant on Leopard to switch both ppc and i386 version on. Since Snow Leopard doesn't support ppc architecture anymore, the universal variant can be used to switch both i386 and x86_64 version on. Please note that default architecture on Snow Leopard is x86_64 if the CPU supports it, i386 otherwise.
WARNING: binutilsfails building universal. So you should set build_arch to i386 (about line 59) into /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf to be sure to build every port against i386 architecture (x86_64 is useless since 64-bit Carbon libraries does not exists and wxCocoa is not ready yet).
Step 3: Install libraries and tools
These are the package that provides (with dependancies) all needed libraries and tools to build wxWidgets and aMule with most of feature:
This should be enough:
Mac Os X 10.10 Download FreeStep 4: Compile wxMac
wxMac is the port of the wxWidgets library for Mac OS X. This library is used to make aMule 'multi-platform'.
Get the source from: http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ (Source Archives: wxMac) and extract the archive on your desktop.
Last stable version is 2.8.11 at now.Type
leave a space after the command, than drag and drop the wxMac uncompressed folder into the Terminal window: the complete path of the folder will be printed on screen. For example:
Press enter.The basic command to configure and compile the package is the following:
Note: The above command doesn't enable debug information. Debug informations allows you to submit a helpful stacktrace if aMule crashes or a sample if it hangs to the aMule developers. If you want to compile a debug version then you can use '--enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb' instead.

Building on Snow Leopard is tricky. You must focus on architecture, compiler version, compatibility. This should be enough to have compatibility with i386 Leopard and above:

Download aMule source and extract archive into the same place of wxMac (i.e. your desktop if you are following out suggestion).Open a Terminal and type:
then leave a space and drag and drop aMule uncompressed folder whose path will be printed on screen, for example:
Press Enter. Now it's possible to configure the sources: there are several options that can be used to activate or deactivate feature during compiling. This is only an example, that provide a full feature aMule build:
Take a look to the configure page for a complete list of options.You should pay attention to these elements:
Now it's time to make you packages with:

You should find the aMule package in the same source folder.
