» Transmission 1.50 Released!
Summary:
**Now complied and tested working on MBWE - Instructions included! **
configuring with ./configure —prefix=/opt/bin/ —disable-gtk
Found one issue with intltool missing/out-of-date, now locating and installing this and retrying!
FingAZ
Intltool can be got from here; http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platform/2.24/2.24.1/sources/intltool-0.40.5.tar.bz2
Requires XML::Parser module for Perl… So now looking at this!!
Update: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSERGEANT/XML-Parser-2.36.tar.gz
for XML Parser stuff; this requires that you configure with 'perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/opt/bin/'
And after issues with this; have since given up :) lol!
I think i'll wait for someone to put it into Opt, as thats where most of my dependancies are, and trying to build it outside of all this causes nothing but arse-ache!
FingAZ
OK - didn't quite give up; installed perl-xml-parser in ipkg (ipkg install perl-xml-parser)
Then complied transmission 1.50 as per the instructions on -this page-
Yet to see the results… Sorry about the umpteen-million posts! Will hopefully help someone who wants to do this before optware is updated too :)
FingAZ
UPDATE!!!
For new users- install ipkg as per the instuctions found elsewhere in this wiki;
type:
ipkg update
ipkg install transmission
ipkg install libiconv
ipkg install perl-xml-parser
ipkg remove transmission
[This will install all the dependancies we require the lazy way! Then remove the old transmission]
then;
mkdir /tmp/myfiles/
cd /tmp/myfiles/
wget http://mirrors.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-1.50.tar.bz2
tar jxvf transmission-1.50.tar.bz2
cd transmission-1.50
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/
./configure --prefix=/opt --datadir=/opt/share/ --disable-gtk --disable-nls CPPFLAGS=-DTR_EMBEDDED
if all goes OK then carry on and do;
make
make install
Lastly type;
TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME=/opt/share/transmission/web/
and it may well be worth your time adding this to your startup scripts!! (see below!)
This installs transmission into the standard optware directories just for ease of use for existing Ipkg users :)
Have tested and seems to be running OK, infact the old version 1.42 had some major issues for me with regards to REALLY slow downloads (like 1kb/s!) and trouble connecting to peers.
I have also found that my existing torrents which were running in the old 1.42 optware version have continued in this one :)
For automated scripts for starting/stopping transmission and other bits and peices, have a look at the forums here, or - HERE.
Any questions etc, just ask!

I'm getting pretty hefty intermittent CPU usage with this release.
I'll be keeping an eye on it.
same here…getting 94% CPU usage…even WebUI not opening :( any solution?
Can anyone give a how-to to compile transmission 1.42 , because 1.50 is very slow …..
Thanks
Well, worked fine after a few reboots ….
Really don't know what was the problem but it came back !!!
The web interface is very slow and the download rate is very low !!!
If anyone has any idea what the problem is , feel free to share with everybody ^^
thanks
(account deleted)1.42 is still in the opt feed
