Building/libtorrent

@@ +1 @@
+This page is for edge cases where libtorrent is needing to be built from source. Always check the libtorrent docs for any updates to build procedures. 
+
+
+== Ubuntu ==
+
+** These are the basic steps copied from the forum**
+{{{
+./configure --enable-python-binding
+make
+sudo checkinstall
+}}}
+
+This will install libtorrent and bindings in correct place. I have substituted make install for checkinstall because checkinstall creates a deb package that then can be used by dpkg to remove all the installed files easily.
+
+Also if using a tarball from svn so you would need to create the configure script by runnning the autotool script:
+
+{{{
+./autotool.sh
+}}}
+
+I have not mentioned dependencies however both running `autotool.sh` and configure will warn if missing. If updating from an already included libtorrent you can get the dependencies using apt-get:
+
+{{{
+sudo apt-get build-dep libtorrent-rasterbar
+}}}
+
+
+== Windows == 
+ 
+ **The versions of OpenSSL, Boost & libtorrent are outdated but should be no issue using latest releases**
+
+ 1. Install the following:
+
+ * MS VC++ 2008/2010 Express: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express
+ * OpenSSL win32 v1.0.0 (non-light):  http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
+ * Python 2.7 
+
+ 2. Download lastest boost and libtorrent 0.15.10 tarball and extract to C:\ drive.
+
+ 3. Build boost by opening command prompt and execute the following commands:
+ {{{
+   bootstrap.bat
+   b2
+}}}
+ Building Boost takes a while and can take several gigabytes of space
+ Close the prompt when done.
+
+ 4. Edit the file 'C:\boost_1_49_0\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam' to force msvc version:
+
+ {{{
+using msvc : 9.0 ;
+}}}
+
+ 5. Open `Visual Studio` command prompt 
+   a. Setup the environmental variables
+   {{{
+set INCLUDE=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include;%INCLUDE%
+set LIB=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib;%LIB%
+set BOOST_ROOT=C:\boost_1_49_0
+set BOOST_BUILD_PATH=%BOOST_ROOT%
+set PATH=%BOOST_ROOT%;%PATH%
+}}}
+   b. Navigate to libtorrent python bindings folder
+   {{{
+cd C:\libtorrent-rasterbar-0.15.10\bindings\python
+}}}
+   c. Build libtorrent with python bindings:
+  {{{
+C:\python27\python.exe setup.py  build
+}}}
+
+  If there is no setup.py (i.e. downloaded from repository) on Windows you can simple use setup.py.in instead.
+
+  You can create setup.py on Ubuntu: (although makes no difference to the windows section of the script)
+  {{{
+sudo apt-get install libtool libboost1.46-all-dev
+./autotool.sh
+./configure  --enable-python-binding
+}}}
+
+
