ctorrent Solaris package

Sunday, Aug 26. 2007  –  Category: OpenSolaris

i built a basic ctorrent package (following the CCD build system, it places it in /opt/sfw). if you’re interested you can grab it here

i built rtorrent/libtorrent/libsigc++ packages too but had issues with rtorrent not quite working nicely with ncurses, so i’ll post those whenever i figure that issue out.

    Regarding rtorrent, what kind of issues? With the ncurses fix in http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/757 and other changes to make it compile successfully, I’ve found that rtorrent works quiet nicely on Solaris/x86.

    Hi Thomas – I loaded in the patches for mincore()/madvise(), and libtorrent/rtorrent built successfully – but when I tried to run it I was unable to quit. It was able to start processing and downloading torrents successfully, but upon sending it the ctrl-q, the screen went blank and the process started an endless loop of pollsys() calls and CPU usage went up to about 80% (at which point I pkill’d it)

    Which version did you build? I was attempting to build libtorrent 0.11.7 and rtorrent 0.7.7

    Latest svn rev (~r965, 0.11.8/0.7.8). Hmm, can I assume that you applied the NCURSES_ERR patch also? Without it, you’d get the same symptons, truss showing rtorrent endlessly pollsys():ing.
