I am using a slackBuild off of slackBuilds, for qbittorrent and the updated gz file, moded the slackbuild to conform to the new version, got it to run - complies, then it stopped here.
I looked to see what it was talking about, the dir names do not match. it says Upper case Icons and the actual name of the directory is lower case icons

where the would I look to change that in the code so it looks for the actual name of the directory?

I'm not sure why yours is using the uppercase I for icons. The SlackBuild doesn't do anything special with .desktop files and the 3.3.12 source I downloaded from github and sourceforge both specifically uses the lower case i when it tries to install the qBittorrent.desktop file.

Can you check your dist/unix/CMakeLists.txt file and see what it uses?

save yourself lot of problems, head aches and troubles etc install the version but out by Alien Bob and the crew, it has qbittorrent and works like charm, as well has lot of other useful programs, I installed Deluge one from sbopkg -i deluge, and it works flawlessly, the reason I use Deluge is that it has full encryption for out and in! try to install from sbopkg , but make sure Q files are dealt with:
#sqg -p qbittorrent

There are 2 different SlackBuilds, you got the wrong one, if you had the right one it would Just Work.

'qbittorrent' (the wrong one) builds version 3.2.5
'qbittorrent-qt5' (the right one) builds version 3.3.12

That's what I get for just assuming and NOT looking close enough. Errors

What sparked it was Void updated, it is a rolling release. Qbittorrnt was updated. This happened before, and I did the same thing, and I had no issues with it.

then this last update in Void I got the same message from qBitTorrent. if I use that version with the 'old' files I will not be able to use them with any other version of QbitTorrent.

Now I just need to boot into Void and take a closer look at what version qBitTorrent it is in that one. See where Void is pulling the source from etc...

thanks!

PS dual boot same /home


update:
yah Void has to have to be qt5 even though it does not state it in the query return.

just swap out the one in here (slack) as I am doing right now. should be OK. Voids version is 3.3.12_2

thanks again for pointing that version thing out.

In case you do not want to install Qt5...
My qbittorrent package still uses Qt4 instead of Qt5, and it is the latest version 3.3.12: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...torrent/build/
I built packages for Slackware 14.2 and -current, you can try compiling the package for earlier versions of Slackware yourself if you need that.

Yeah I already got qt5 and qt4.x.x.x.x.x.x installed, I just removed the other and installed the qBitTorrent-qt slackbuilds one and booted into Void to check that one too, and they both are back in sync between distros.

I think I did qt5 for vlc or something - its in here for whatever reason anyways -- I stil got a little room left on /
thanks!
