Resolved by configuring

./configure  --disable-gui --with-libboost-lib=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf

[dinjo]

I did a clean of system and i can't even install libtorrent it keeps failing , have installed as per this https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/bl ... tu--debian

Checking for boost libraries:
checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
configure: error: Boost.System library not found. Try using --with-boost-system=lib

[ciaobaby]

How has "dogecoin" got to do with anything related to qbittorrent?

[Peter]

@Dinjo: You know that Debian got qBittorrent in the repository, right?
Even the newer ones. (See testing and sid, and "apt-pinning".)

Compiling manually everything is just a hassle.

[dinjo]

I was able to compile it from source by looking at dsc file and finding correct dependencies.

debhelper (>= 7.4.12), dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1), libtorrent-rasterbar-dev (>= 0.15.4), libboost-dev, libqt4-dev (>= 4.6.0)

[Peter]

Well, glad you managed to do it, but why? lol.

[dinjo]

I'm not really comfortable in apt pinning and i have the need for everything latest and greatest :-)

[Peter]

The latest is the git version, but that's not whitelisted on most private trackers.
If you live on the edge... why don't you use Gentoo ~testing, or Fedora Rawhide, or Debian Experimental then?

[sledgehammer_999]

You can get almost the freshest of libtorrent and qbittorrent quite cheaply and without much head scratching.

Go and grab the "debian source package" for libtorrent and qbittorrent. A debian source package typically consists of 3 files. 1 *.dsc and 2 *.tar.gz files. These files contain all the necessary instructions for the debian build system to build the source and make .deb (debian binary packages).
Download the source package (from the right side bar):
1. Libtorrent: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libtorrent-rasterbar7
2. qbittorrent: https://packages.debian.org/sid/qbittorrent

Search the internet on how to build debian source packages.
They are only 2-3 easy commands that I forget right now.

If that fails....

[Peter]

If you are on Debian/Ubuntu, you can use "dget".
Just copy the .dsc link from the site

For example:
"dget -x -u http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 6.18-1.dsc"

And it will download the source files, patch them with Debian's changes, and put them in a new folder.
If you want to build it on your PC/box, you should use "pbuilder", it's really comfy.

[sledgehammer_999]

No pbuilder is very cumbersome for oneshot builds.
I think the dpkg-build (?) is the correct tool here.

[Peter]

You are right, if you have the tools.

(It's not like there is anything wrong with dpkg, just a heads up for people:)
The point in pbuilder by the way, is that you don't have to install the dependencies, compilers, etc.
It creates a chrooted environment, which will just build your stuff, and your system stays intact.

Debian:
- sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
- sudo pbuilder create --distribution squeeze --mirror ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ --debootstrapopts "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg"
- sudo pbuilder build *.dsc

Ubuntu is the same, just the create command differs.
As you notice, you can have multiple "distributions" installed.
And the end result is a .deb file.
