0.6 Nightly Builds

[lostincyberspace]

I just want to say that this is great version I like it alot more than 8.5 which I have many problems with though I still cant seem to get a very goo download though it might not be deluge though.

A request actually.
How about releasing source code for nightly build, I meant not the source from svn.
Building package from svn using setuptools will create gigantic libtorrent.so (36.5Mb).
With proper nightly build source code, I can easily make smaller package for Debian etch and distribute it among friends.

Thanks.

You want the actual build scripts I use, or just a tarball of the source? I considered doing the latter, but just never got around to it. The tarball of the source would just be a cp of svn, so I don't think it would solve the gigantic libtorrent.so, you probably just need to strip the library to do that.

No, not tarball from svn. That can be easily downloaded using svn tools.
I meant tarball with Makefile, like the one for 0.5.x.

If you can show how to strip down the library, would be nice.
The build script will be better or easier ... i guess. So we not depending on that "egg" thing.

Thanks.

There is no Makefile and there will never be one. We use setuptools not autotools.

To strip the binary just do this:

Code: Select all

$ strip libtorrent.so

Thanks man.
That so easy.
Now libtorrent.so 10X smaller.

Hi,

Just wanted to bring to your notice that Apr 4th's Nightly Build fails to install on Ubuntu gutsy because of the error shown in the screenshot. Please let me know if I am missing something. So far so good with 0.6. Its much better in performance compared to 0.5.X. Thankyou.

Hi,

Same error with Apr 5th's nightly build.

Are you sure you are using the correct package?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

It looks like you may need to enable the universe repo.
