Building Transmission with Optware Dependancies

trying to build transmission 1.06 with the patch from torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta2.tar.bz2
to use on a tomatousb router with optware installed.

when trying this line:
./configure —disable-gtk —prefix=/opt OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-Iopt/include/openssl -L/opt/lib" OPENSSL_LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto" && make && make install

i get an error that it's not possible to guess the build type… any idea what i should do ???
all libraries and dependencies are installed with ipkg, i followed your guide.

Excellent, thanks.
Step 3 needs to read: # export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig

however!

that had me stumped for a while

Bit delayed; but just ran ipkg update, and now its in my feed too lol :)

It is in my feed:

[root@MyBookWorld ~]# ipkg list libcurl-dev libcurl-dev - 7.18.2-1 - Development files for libcurl Successfully terminated.

It can also be found for direct download here: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/gumstix1151/cross/unstable/libcurl-dev_7.18.2-1_arm.ipk

I've hit a wall; libcurl-dev isn't a recognised optware package? And probably as a result of that, libcurl.pc isn't in the directory you've listed?
Will try and install anyway :)

Yup. Thanks for picking that up, I also had to do the same thing.

Through the course of trying to roll back to Transmission 1.20 to get clutch working again, I decided to use your instructions to compile it from scratch. Here's to hoping it doesn't become a headache.

First problem was a weird error when using the .configure command:
//checking for LIBCURL… Unknown keyword 'URL' in '/opt/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc'
configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.0) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBCURL_CFLAGS
and LIBCURL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.//

My fix was to comment out the line "URL: http://curl.haxx.se/" in the file "/opt/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc"
This allowed the .configure command to continue.

I have been trying to figure out how to build transmission while using all the dependancies from optware.
I ran in to some trouble with pkgconfig and openssl which did not include openssl.pc. I spent ages but finally figured it all out by a bit of trial and error. For the sake of keeping record for myself I will try to outline the procedure below.

1. Install dependancies for transmission via optware (I may have forgotten some):

# ipkg install openssl openssl-dev libcurl libcurl-dev libiconv gettext pkgconfig

At this stage you should probably run ldconfig so that all those libraries are found. I am of course assuming that you have added the correct paths to ld.so.conf and that /opt/bin and /opt/sbin are in your PATH.

2. Get and extract your transmission tarball (in my case v1.20):

# wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-1.20.tar.bz2 # tar jxvf transmission-1.20.tar.bz2 # cd transmission-1.20

3. Set the path to the optware pkgconfig:

# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig

You will also need to comment out a line in /opt/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
Change line 33 from

URL: http://curl.haxx.se/

#URL: http://curl.haxx.se/

4. You will need to set two environment variables (OPENSSL_CFLAGS and OPENSSSL_LIBS) when configuring transmission. Also make sure you disable gtk

# ./configure --disable-gtk OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-Iopt/include/openssl -L/opt/lib" OPENSSL_LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto"

5. If all goes well the configure script should find all the necessary libraries and you can now make.

# make && make install

6. Follow the steps here (http://kyyhkynen.net/stuff/mybook/torrent_clutch.php) to install clutch.

Please let me know if I have missed anything and this process doesn't work for you.
