imposible to compile ktorrent

pvandyk2005 · 07-17-2008, 02:59 AM

This is what I've made to compile ktorrent. I've tried as well to install a tgz file and tar.gz file. I've got errors as well. Last try it was a susubversion

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/extragear/kde3/network/ktorrent
cd ktorrent
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin/
svn cat svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/extragear/kde3/network/Makefile.cvs > Makefile.cvs

To compile it :
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make

Use your package manager to install ktorrent. If you insist on installing from source, you need to install the development files for QT. Since you don't tell us what distribution you're using, we can't tell you how to use your package manager to install the QT development files. It will be a package named qt-dev or qt-devel or something along those lines.

My distro is slack 12.1. It's very strange because I've installed ktorrent one month before on slack 12.1 without any problems and i had some issues with mplayer. Now I've got some issues with my HDD and I've bought another one and now i have no problems with mplayer and i have with ktorrent.

I've used same disks.

Slack comes with ktorrent in /extra, no need to compile it yourself: ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...xtra/ktorrent/

If you need the bleeding edge version, might be worth looking at the SlackBuild script for it for the -current tree: ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...ent.SlackBuild and trying to build using that as a base.

If I'm trying to install a slack package "tgz" instalation is running without any problem. When I'm trying to start ktorrent I have following error

Quote:

ktorrent: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/libktorrent-2.2.6.so)

compiling from source I have an error regarding qt, therefore I've installed (qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.tar.gz) but same results

What version of the cxxlibs package have you got installed? /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 belongs to that package, so chances are if it can't find it, you either don't have it installed, or it's an old version.

pvandyk2005 · 07-17-2008, 06:25 AM

I suppose that cxxlibs is actualy glibcxx. Am I correct?

glibc is 2.5

Hmmm... my results are different:

Code:

root@computer:~# ldconfig -p | grep libstdc
        libstdc++.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.5 (libc6) => /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++.so.5
        libstdc++.so.4 (libc6) => /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++.so.4
        libstdc++.so (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libstdc++.so
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
        libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

That's not a fresh install, but ktorrent works fine. The results from a fresh full install of 12.1 show the same output for the ldconfig command, but the gcc one differs:

Code:

root@othercomputer:~# gcc --version

Pat V. does not separate development header files in Slackware like debian or ubuntu does, i am glad Pat V. includes the headers & docs all in one package for every package so there is no qt-dev or any sort of $PACKAGE_NAME-dev, i find distros like debian and ubuntu, fedora, suse etc... that separate development headers very annoying to use...

pvandyk2005 if you want to build ktorrent from source you need a ktorrent package that is compatible with qt-3.x the newest ones (ktorrent-3.x) use qt-4 and use cmake to build...

I agree, but the OP didn't have his distro listed in his profile when I originally posted and he was trying tgz, tar.gz, and svn so the tgz didn't tip me that he was using Slackware. My assumption was that the OP was in over his head, hence my suggestion to use the package manager.
