[PACKAGED] qBittorrent 3.0.6 and libtorrent-rasterbar 0.16.4 - Is it OK?

[sling-shot]

I believe I have succeeded in building qBittorrent 3.0.6 and libtorrent-rasterbar 0.16.4.
Thanks to everyone who guided me through this.
However this may not be the end as there might be many things wrong with this.
Request you to please test the results and give your opinion. Install the libraries first and then qBittorrent

The discussion that resulted in this follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE : I am doing this experiment with an intention of updating the wiki page on packaging. I want to update that page further from an absolute dummy's point of view. Please consider me as good as a newborn

So I went through the wiki page. But it still does not say the actual commands one has to use.
I did the following:
1. Installed pkgutils-kde on a separate test install partition.
2. Entered sling-shot where needed but the user account was testinstall
3. Skimmed RPM_Build_Manual_Rev2.pdf
4. Downloaded qbittorrent-2.9.11-1pclos2012 to /home/Downloads.
4. Navigated to /home/Downloads in Konsole as testinstall.
5. Ran rpm -ivh qbit*******
6. Went to /home/src/rpms/SPECS
7. Opened the .spec file and just changed the version number to 3.0.3
8. Downloaded new qbittorrent-3.0.3.tar.xz and placed it in /home/src/rpm/SOURCES.
9. Navigated to it in Konsole and ran rpm -ba qbit******.spec
10. Spits out -ba unknown option
11. SCRATCH HEAD at first then scratch some smaller pair of round shapes.
12. Eureka! We are trying build. So ran rpmbuild -ba qbit****.spec
13. Progress
14. Now I got to know a list of things missing. Around 5 I guess. And most were devel packages and may 2 libs. There was some confusion with glib2 where what I had was libglib and required was glib 2.0 or something. I went ahead with whatever was available.
15. This time build progressed a little further before throwing a long list of error at my face as shown below :

OOPS! That turned out longer than expected. Should have used Pastebin instead. Sorry

14. Now I got to know a list of things missing. Around 5 I guess. And most were devel packages and may 2 libs. There was some confusion with glib2 where what I had was libglib and required was glib 2.0 or something. I went ahead with whatever was available.

When pkgutils-kde4 (or pkgutils-thunar) is installed it provides a Right Click menu for .spec files which has Install Dependencies.  This will run the "addpkg" command (part of pkgutils) on the spec file to install the necessary build dependencies

/usr/include/boost/filesystem/config.hpp:16:5: error: #error Compiling Filesystem version 3 file with BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION defined != 3

The above line looks like the root cause of the problem. It seem you have version 3 of whatever it is while this package used other version( i assume earlier versions)

Is this package the latest released version of the package? The solution i think is to either try to build the latest version or wait for them to update it to use newer versions of boots file system functionality.

From the install.txt for qbittorrent 3.0.3

Code: [Select]

qBittorrent - A BitTorrent client in C++ / Qt4
------------------------------------------

1) Compile and install qBittorrent with Qt4 Graphical Interface

  $ ./configure
  $ make && make install
  $ qbittorrent

  will install and execute qBittorrent hopefully without any problems.

  Dependencies:
    - Qt >= 4.6.0 (libqtgui, libqtcore, libqtnetwork, libqtxml, libqtdbus/optional)

    - pkg-config executable

    - libtorrent-rasterbar by Arvid Norberg (>= 0.15.0)
        -> http://www.libtorrent.net
        Be careful: another library (the one used by rTorrent) uses a similar name.

    - libboost 1.34.x (libboost-filesystem°) + libasio
      or
    - libboost >= 1.35.x (libboost-system, libboost-filesystem°)
     
    °libboost-filesystem is not needed if libtorrent-rasterbar >= v0.16.x is used

    - python >= 2.3 (needed by search engine)
        * Run time only dependency

    - geoip-database (optional)
        * If qBittorrent cannot find this database, it will try to resolve countries using the Internet but it will be a lot slower.
        * Run time only dependency

Every single line here appears with a hash in front of it. It means that the whole file is commented out and not read right?

The other requirements are all met. Then why is this error being thrown? Should I remove those comments and try?

[TerryN]

In C++ the hash is a pre-processor directive not a comment (comments are //)

The error is being thrown because the Makefile has -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=2 which implies that the application needs to be built against Boost File System Version 2.  This is confirmed in the src.pro file (which is used to create the Makefile):

Code: [Select]

# Fixes compilation with Boost >= v1.46 where boost
# filesystem v3 is the default.
DEFINES += BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=2
Our libboost-devel is version 1.50 which is Boost File System Version 3.  The Boost File System states that Version 2 is no longer supported after 1.49.  I take this to mean that 1.46-1.49 supported both versions (hence the comment in src.pro).
I doubt any of us has a "magic answer" to this.  It needs (time consuming) research to figure out what the issue is.

I think such a section in our Wiki page will encourage many more users (including me) to start packaging. I've been reading some things about packaging lately trying to learn a few things and maybe (like you) try to build some packages. But a step-by-step guide with some examples and/or tips from experienced packagers would be the ideal first step for wannabe packagers.

PS: This manual you mentioned (RPM Build Manual Rev2)... is it a free e-book?

Thanks TerryN. I will try to adjust that parameter and see. It believe what is actually needed is Boost v3. But why is that particular thing pointing to v2 needs to be found out.

The comment in src.pro suggests to me that qbittorrent requires version 2 (i.e. it will not work with Version 3)

There is also this in the install.txt

  °libboost-filesystem is not needed if libtorrent-rasterbar >= v0.16.x is used

which may give an indication of what the qbittorrent devs are thinking.

Terry.

I opened the src.pro file and commented out that particular line. But it still throws the same error. I thought it should have thrown a different error

sling-shot and agmg,     
I'd recommend that you explore the right click menu provided by pkgutils-kde/pkgutils-thunar. The deeper you look into these, the more you will come to understand, IMO.

Thanks for the tip Neal... much appreciated as always

Thanks.

When I run rpm -ivh command on the src.rpm of older qbittorrent version in the repository, it says user Neal does not exist or something. Does that mean you had packaged it earlier?
Right now, I am unable to build even the older version here, although it should as it was built successfully, probably by you, earlier
Hmmm....

This needs a large contiguous parcel of free time to figure out unlike my present bit by bit approach. I will try alternative and smaller looking packages first and come back later.

In the meantime if there is any other information, please give

[Neal ManBear]

Grab the pkgutils src.rpm. Extract it with the right click "install for build" entry. Or open it with File Roller. Open the spec file. In it you will see the list of utilities installed (%files) - mkrepo for example. Look for those in your system. Open each and review it. In this way, you can learn what commands are used and how.
