This How to will guide you though the compilation of qBittorrent svn and libtorrent-rasterbar. I wrote it for Ubuntu/Debian but there shouldn't be much difference for other Linux distributions.
== Required dependencies ==
* General build dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool automake autoconf subversion
* Boost and SSL libraries
sudo apt-get install libboost-date-time-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev \
libboost-serialization-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-test-dev \
libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev
* Qt4 libraries
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
* Python (Run time only dependency, for the search engine)
sudo apt-get install python
== Optional dependencies ==
* Geoip Database (For peer country resolution, strongly advised)
sudo apt-get install geoip-database
* Libnotify (for system notifications)
sudo apt-get install libnotify-dev
== Compiling libtorrent ==
[http://wwww.libtorrent.net Libtorrent] is a library written by Arvid Norberg that qBittorrent uses for the bittorrent part. It is necessary to compile and install libtorrent before compiling qBittorrent.
First you should get libtorrent-rasterbar from SVN:
mkdir -p qBittorrent_compiling
cd qBittorrent_compiling
* Libtorrent v0.14 (Oldstable but less features - advised)
svn co https://libtorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libtorrent/branches/RC_0_14/ libtorrent
* Libtorrent v0.15 (More features but possibly unstable)
svn co https://libtorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libtorrent/branches/RC_0_15/ libtorrent
* Libtorrent v0.16 (Most features but possibly unstable)
svn co https://libtorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libtorrent/branches/RC_0_16/ libtorrent
You should now have the latest libtorrent svn branch in libtorrent/ folder. You will notice that there is no configure file provided. Hence, you must generate it yourself by issuing the following commands:
cd libtorrent
./autotool.sh
Ok, Now you have a configure file, just type the following command:
./configure --disable-debug --prefix=/usr && make clean && make
Then you can install libtorrent using the following commands:
make uninstall
make install-strip
For more information on building libtorrent, see [http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/building.html libtorrent downloading and building]
== Compiling qBittorrent (with the Qt4 graphical interface) ==
Now, let's get to the interesting part: compiling qBittorrent.
Grab latest qBittorrent on svn:
cd .. (to go back to qBittorrent_compiling/ folder)
svn co https://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qbittorrent/trunk qbittorrent
Ok, now let's compile it:
cd qbittorrent
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
And to install it:
make install
That's it! qBittorrent should now be installed. You can now run qBittorrent using the following command:
qbittorrent
== Compiling qBittorrent (without the Qt4 graphical interface) ==
Now, let's get to the interesting part: compiling qBittorrent.
Grab latest qBittorrent on svn:
cd .. (to go back to qBittorrent_compiling/ folder)
svn co https://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qbittorrent/trunk qbittorrent
Ok, now let's compile it:
cd qbittorrent
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gui
make
And to install it:
make install
That's it! qBittorrent should now be installed. You can now run qBittorrent using the following command:
qbittorrent-nox
Since you disabled the graphical user interface, qBittorrent should be controlled via its Web UI. As a default, you can access it from:
http://localhost:8080
Username: admin
Password: adminadmin
A documentation about running qBittorrent 2 without GUI is available [[Running-qBittorrent-without-X-server|here]].
