rtorrent (& libtorrent (& libsigc++)) packages for Solaris

August 27th, 2007 Stephen Lau

with many thanks to Thomas B for pointing me at the patch I needed, I was able to fix my rtorrent packages. You can grab the package here which contains the SFWrtorrent, SFWsigc++, and SFWtorrent packages.

clarification: the above .pkg contains ALL 3 packages (for rtorrent, libsigc++ and libtorrent), so it should be all you need. it’s an x86 package only.

updated: 2008 may 8th: I’ve built new packages… you should go grab the new ones instead

  er, actually, i think you’ve packed up SFWrtorrent a second time as SFWtorrent..

  I’m running Opensolaris (SunOS ZFS 5.11 snv_81 i86pc i386 i86pc )

  How do I install these packages? pkgadd -d doesn’t work..

  Any hints would be greatly appreciated, since I’m having trouble building everything myself..

  Thanks, Joe Esposito

  pkgadd -d doesn’t work how? You don’t have the pkgadd command available? It should be in /usr/sbin

• 6. Joe Esposito  |  April 16th, 2008 at 10:14

  I have it available, and have used it before..

  -bash-3.2# ls rtorrent.tar.bz2 SFWrtorrent SFWsigc++ SFWtorrent -bash-3.2# pwd /export/home/esposj/Build/Packages -bash-3.2# /opt/csw/ -bash-3.2# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d SFWsigc++/ pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in -bash-3.2# ls SFWsigc++/ install pkginfo pkgmap reloc -bash-3.2#

• 7. Joe Esposito  |  April 16th, 2008 at 10:15

  -bash-3.2# ls
  rtorrent.tar.bz2  SFWrtorrent       SFWsigc++         SFWtorrent
  -bash-3.2# pwd
  /export/home/esposj/Build/Packages
  -bash-3.2# /opt/csw/
  -bash-3.2# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d SFWsigc++/
  pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in 
  -bash-3.2# ls SFWsigc++/
  install  pkginfo  pkgmap   reloc
  -bash-3.2# 

  </pre

  You need to ‘pkgadd -d .’ from the directory where the SFWrtorrent SFWsigc++ and SFWtorrent subdirectories are.

• 9. Joe Esposito  |  April 16th, 2008 at 10:25

  heh. That worked. Thanks! Guess I didn’t totally understand pkgadd after all.

  Thanks, Stephen!

  Are you planning to produce package with XMLRPC support? It could be cool to let GUI work.

• 11. Stephen Lau  |  April 27th, 2008 at 18:15

  @Roman: Hadn’t planned on it since I only use rtorrent from screen…

• 12. Stephen Lau  |  May 8th, 2008 at 22:23

  for anyone subscribed to this entry - I posted new versions of the packages here:
