To build libtorrent, you need the following libraries:
Create a directory for the project:
mkdir ${HOME}/work
cd ${HOME}/work
Check out boost, libtorrent, asio source code from cvs by executing the following commands:
No password needed (just hit enter when prompted)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost checkout boost cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost logout cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@libtorrent.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libtorrent login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@libtorrent.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libtorrent co -P libtorrent cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@libtorrent.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libtorrent logout cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@asio.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/asio login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@asio.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/asio co -P asio cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@asio.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/asio login
To build boost, first build boost-build and then use that to build the libraries themselves:
BASE_DIR=${HOME} ### Feel free to change this one.
BOOST_ROOT=${BASE_DIR}/boost
BOOST_BUILD_PATH=${BOOST_ROOT}/tools/build/v2
cd ${BOOST_ROOT}/tools/jam/src
./build.sh
sudo cp ./bin.linuxx86/bjam /usr/bin
cd $BOOST_ROOT
sudo bjam -sTOOLS=gcc install
It takes about 45 min. (so if you want to grap a coke, now is the time)
If you're successful you will see the following files in /usr/local/lib:
libboost_date_time-gcc-d-1_31.so libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d-1_31.so libboost_date_time-gcc-1_31.so libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-1_31.so libboost_date_time-gcc-d-1_31.a libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d-1_31.a libboost_date_time-gcc-1_31.a libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-1_31.a
Skip this step if you're using a released tarball.
Execute the following command:
cp -R ${BASE_DIR}/asio/include/asio* ${BASE_DIR}/libtorrent/include/libtorrent
First of all, you need to install automake and autoconf. Many unix/linux systems comes with these preinstalled. The prerequisites for building libtorrent are boost.thread, boost.date_time and boost.filesystem. Those are the compiled boost libraries needed. The headers-only libraries needed include (but is not necessarily limited to) boost.bind, boost.ref, boost.multi_index, boost.optional, boost.lexical_cast, boost.integer, boost.iterator, boost.tuple, boost.array, boost.function, boost.smart_ptr, boost.preprocessor, boost.static_assert.
If you want to build the client_test example, you'll also need boost.regex and boost.program_options.
No build system is present if libtorrent is checked out from CVS - it needs to be generated first. If you're building from a released tarball, you may skip directly to running configure.
Execute the following commands, in the given order, to generate the build system:
cd ${BASE_DIR}/libtorrent
CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/boost-1_35 -I${BASE_DIR}/libtorrent/include/libtorrent"
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
aclocal -I m4
autoheader
libtoolize --copy --force
automake --add-missing --copy --gnu
autoconf
On darwin/OSX you have to run glibtoolize instead of libtoolize.
To use the auto tools to build libtorrent, execute the following commands:
cd ${BASE_DIR}/libtorrent
CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/boost-1_35 -I${BASE_DIR}/libtorrent/include/libtorrent"
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
./configure --with-boost-date-time=boost_date_time-gcc \
--with-boost-filesystem=boost_filesystem-gcc \
--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-gcc-mt
make
sudo make install
If successful, you will see the following files:
/usr/local/lib/libtorrent.a /usr/local/lib/libtorrent.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libtorrent.la /usr/local/lib/libtorrent.so.0.1.0 /usr/local/lib/libtorrent.so
