< p > To acquire the latest version of libtorrent, you'll have to grab it from SVN.
2009-02-09 04:48:27 +01:00
You'll find instructions on how to do this < a class = "reference external" href = "http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=79942" > here< / a > (see subversion access).< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< p > The build systems supported " out of the box" in libtorrent are boost-build v2
(BBv2) and autotools (for unix-like systems). If you still can't build after
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
following these instructions, you can usually get help in the < tt class = "docutils literal" > #libtorrent< / tt >

< div class = "warning" >
< p class = "first admonition-title" > Warning< / p >
< p > A common mistake when building and linking against libtorrent is
to build with one set of configuration options (#defines) and
link against it using a different set of configuration options. Since
libtorrent has some code in header files, that code will not be
compatible with the built library if they see different configurations.< / p >
< p > Always make sure that the same TORRENT_* macros are defined when you
link against libtorrent as when you build it.< / p >
< p class = "last" > Boost-build supports propagating configuration options to dependencies.
When building using the makefiles, this is handled by setting the
configuration options in the pkg-config file. Always use pkg-config
when linking against libtorrent.< / p >

< p > The primary reason to use boost-build is that it will automatically build the
dependent boost libraries with the correct compiler settings, in order to
2009-02-09 04:48:27 +01:00
ensure that the build targets are link compatible (see < a class = "reference external" href = "http://boost.org/more/separate_compilation.html" > boost guidelines< / a >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
for some details on this issue).< / p >
< p > Since BBv2 will build the boost libraries for you, you need the full boost
source package. Having boost installed via some package system is usually not
enough (and even if it is enough, the necessary environment variables are
usually not set by the package installer).< / p >
2008-03-10 07:25:00 +01:00

2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
a windows path in this example since if you're on linux/unix you're more likely
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
to use the autotools). You'll need at least version 1.49 of the boost library
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
in order to build libtorrent.< / p >

2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< p > First you need to build < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > . You do this by opening a terminal (In
windows, run < tt class = "docutils literal" > cmd< / tt > ). Change directory to
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > c:\boost_1_55_0\tools\jam\src< / span > < / tt > . Then run the script called
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< tt class = "docutils literal" > build.bat< / tt > or < tt class = "docutils literal" > build.sh< / tt > on a unix system. This will build < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > and
place it in a directory starting with < tt class = "docutils literal" > bin.< / tt > and then have the name of your
platform. Copy the < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam.exe< / tt > (or < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > on a unix system) to a place
that's in you shell's < tt class = "docutils literal" > PATH< / tt > . On linux systems a place commonly used may be
< tt class = "docutils literal" > /usr/local/bin< / tt > or on windows < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > c:\windows< / span > < / tt > (you can also add directories
to the search paths by modifying the environment variable called < tt class = "docutils literal" > PATH< / tt > ).< / p >
< p > Now you have < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > installed. < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > can be considered an interpreter
that the boost-build system is implemented on. So boost-build uses < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > .
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
So, to complete the installation you need to make two more things. You need to
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
set the environment variable < tt class = "docutils literal" > BOOST_BUILD_PATH< / tt > . This is the path that tells
< tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > where it can find boost-build, your configuration file and all the
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
toolsets (descriptions used by boost-build to know how to use different
compilers on different platforms). Assuming the boost install path above, set
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
it to < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > c:\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2< / span > < / tt > .< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< p > To set an environment variable in windows, type for example:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
set BOOST_BUILD_PATH=c:\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< / pre >
< p > In a terminal window.< / p >
< p > The last thing to do to complete the setup of BBv2 is to modify your
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > user-config.jam< / span > < / tt > file. It is located in < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > c:\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2< / span > < / tt > .
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
Depending on your platform and which compiler you're using, you should add a
line for each compiler and compiler version you have installed on your system
that you want to be able to use with BBv2. For example, if you're using
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
Microsoft Visual Studio 12 (2013), just add a line:< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< pre class = "literal-block" >
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
using msvc : 12.0 ;
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< / pre >
< p > If you use GCC, add the line:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
using gcc ;
< / pre >
< p > If you have more than one version of GCC installed, you can add the
commandline used to invoke g++ after the version number, like this:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
using gcc : 3.3 : g++-3.3 ;
using gcc : 4.0 : g++-4.0 ;
< / pre >
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< p > Another toolset worth mentioning is the < tt class = "docutils literal" > darwin< / tt > toolset (For MacOS X).
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
From Tiger (10.4) MacOS X comes with both GCC 3.3 and GCC 4.0. Then you can
use the following toolsets:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
using darwin : 3.3 : g++-3.3 ;
using darwin : 4.0 : g++-4.0 ;
< / pre >
< p > Note that the spaces around the semi-colons and colons are important!< / p >
2009-02-09 04:48:27 +01:00

2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< p > When building libtorrent, the < tt class = "docutils literal" > Jamfile< / tt > expects the environment variable
< tt class = "docutils literal" > BOOST_ROOT< / tt > to be set to the boost installation directory. It uses this to
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
find the boost libraries it depends on, so they can be built and their headers
2014-07-06 21:18:00 +02:00
files found. So, set this to < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > c:\boost_1_55_0< / span > < / tt > . You only need this if you're
2008-03-10 07:25:00 +01:00
building against a source distribution of boost.< / p >
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< p > Then the only thing left is simply to invoke < tt class = "docutils literal" > bjam< / tt > . If you want to specify
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
a specific toolset to use (compiler) you can just add that to the commandline.
For example:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
2008-03-10 07:25:00 +01:00
bjam msvc-7.1 boost=source
bjam gcc-3.3 boost=source
bjam darwin-4.0 boost=source
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< / pre >
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< p > If you're building against a system installed boost, specify < tt class = "docutils literal" > boost=system< / tt > .< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< p > To build different versions you can also just add the name of the build
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
variant. Some default build variants in BBv2 are < tt class = "docutils literal" > release< / tt > , < tt class = "docutils literal" > debug< / tt > ,
< tt class = "docutils literal" > profile< / tt > .< / p >
< p > You can build libtorrent as a dll too, by typing < tt class = "docutils literal" > link=shared< / tt > , or
< tt class = "docutils literal" > link=static< / tt > to build a static library.< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< p > If you want to explicitly say how to link against the runtime library, you
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
can set the < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > runtime-link< / span > < / tt > feature on the commandline, either to < tt class = "docutils literal" > shared< / tt >
or < tt class = "docutils literal" > static< / tt > . Most operating systems will only allow linking shared against

< p > In your shell, change directory to the libtorrent directory and run
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
< tt class = "docutils literal" > ./configure< / tt > . This will look for libraries and C++ features that libtorrent
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
is dependent on. If something is missing or can't be found it will print an
error telling you what failed.< / p >
< p > The most likely problem you may encounter is that the configure script won't
find the boost libraries. Make sure you have boost installed on your system.
The easiest way to install boost is usually to use the preferred package
system on your platform. Usually libraries and headers are installed in
standard directories where the compiler will find them, but sometimes that
may not be the case. For example when installing boost on darwin using
darwinports (the package system based on BSD ports) all libraries are
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
installed to < tt class = "docutils literal" > /opt/local/lib< / tt > and headers are installed to
< tt class = "docutils literal" > /opt/local/include< / tt > . By default the compiler will not look in these
directories. You have to set the enviornment variables < tt class = "docutils literal" > LDFLAGS< / tt > and
< tt class = "docutils literal" > CXXFLAGS< / tt > in order to make the compiler find those libs. In this example
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
you'd set them like this:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
export CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
< / pre >
< p > It was observed on FreeBSD (release 6.0) that one needs to add '-lpthread' to
LDFLAGS, as Boost::Thread detection will fail without it, even if
Boost::Thread is installed.< / p >
< p > If you need to set these variables, it may be a good idea to add those lines
to your < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > ~/.profile< / span > < / tt > or < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > ~/.tcshrc< / span > < / tt > depending on your shell.< / p >
2006-09-26 00:37:48 +02:00
< p > If the boost libraries are named with a suffix on your platform, you may use
the < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > --with-boost-thread=< / span > < / tt > option to specify the suffix used for the thread
library in this case. For more information about these options, run:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
./configure --help
< / pre >
< p > On gentoo the boost libraries that are built with multi-threading support have
2013-01-21 20:13:24 +01:00
the suffix < tt class = "docutils literal" > mt< / tt > .< / p >
2006-08-28 02:36:00 +02:00
< p > You know that the boost libraries were found if you see the following output
from the configure script:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
checking whether the Boost::DateTime library is available... yes
checking for main in -lboost_date_time... yes
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
checking for main in -lboost_filesystem... yes
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes
checking for main in -lboost_thread... yes
< / pre >
< p > Another possible source of problems may be if the path to your libtorrent
directory contains spaces. Make sure you either rename the directories with
spaces in their names to remove the spaces or move the libtorrent directory.< / p >
