How to compile rtorrent on Solaris 10

wipwipwip WORK IN PROGRESS wipwipwip rtorrent compiles, but seems to be unstable.
Use the older version 0.12.6/0.8.6 for a stabil version.

In this example i used pkgsrc to build all non Solaris dependencies

  • libcurl >= 7.12.0
  • ncurses

  • libsigc++
  • xmlrpc
  • ssl
  • cppunit

In my case i use /opt/pkg for the pkgsrc packages. More infos in SoftwarePackagesforSolaris

Unpack, patch and build libtorrent

gtar xzfv libtorrent-0.13.3.tar.gz
cd libtorrent-0.13.3/

wget http://s2p.de/pub/Sysadmin/RtorrentSolaris10/libtorrent-0.13.3-solaris-pitz.patch
gpatch -p1 < libtorrent-0.13.3-solaris-pitz.patch

support Maybe is is a good idea to configure with --enable-debug --enable-extra-debug

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/pkg/lib/pkgconfig
./configure --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/opt/local
gmake
gmake install

Unpack, patch and build rtorrent

cd ../
gtar xzfv rtorrent-0.9.3.tar.gz
cd rtorrent-0.9.3/

wget http://s2p.de/pub/Sysadmin/RtorrentSolaris10/rtorrent-0.9.3-solaris-pitz.patch

ALERT! I got error with --with-xmlrpc-c=/usr/pkg/bin/xmlrpc-c-config
configure: error: Could not compile XMLRPC-C test.
WORKAROUND omit --with-xmlrpc-c
