Python-LibTorrent Compile Error

[br00tal]

Hello all,

I'm really excited about trying Deluge, but I can't get the libtorrent python wrapper to build. Here's the output I get when it fails:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'c++' failed with exit status 1
Not sure if this is a problem with Boost itself or what, but I can't seem to figure out the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

By the way, I am using the latest Boost.

Thanks.

I don't think we've ever built python-libtorrent on any version of gcc below 4.1, much less 3.x. I'm guessing its a g++ problem, do you have a copy off gcc4 installed?

[br00tal]

No, but I could get one, I suppose. If that's the issue, then I guess it's an easy fix.

Quick question, though. Would it be hard to make the code GCC 3.x compatable? Lots of distros still use the 3.x tree. Just a thought.

Cheers!

I don't know, you'd have to ask Kripken (he should be waking up in about 2 hours, and will likely see this thread anyways) as he's the one that wrote python-libtorrent

Hello all,

I'm really excited about trying Deluge, but I can't get the libtorrent python wrapper to build. Here's the output I get when it fails:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread

It says "cannot find -lboost_thread", so perhaps the boost thread library is missing. Note that boost has several components, you may have only part of them installed. The list (which I hope is complete) appears in the INSTALL file:

Dependencies to compile (written as Ubuntu packages): python, libboost-filesystem1.33.1, libboost-date-time1.33.1, libboost-program-options1.33.1, libboost-regex1.33.1, libboost-thread1.33.1, libc6-dev, zlib1g-dev

[armin76]

In Gentoo we had the same problem. In Gentoo the boost package includes all the libraries from boost. But to get this working, like libtorrent, you need boost compiled with threads support.

The current stable version of boost in Gentoo didn't include a symlink needed to compile libtorrent/python_libtorrent:
356259 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 24 20:16 /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so -> /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.33.1

[br00tal]

Yup, that seems to have done the trick. Well, you now know that Deluge works on Slackware 11.0! All it was was a symlink issue. Thanks for the great app!

Hey I'm brand new to Ubuntu and I just installed Edgy and I want you guys to know that you do in fact need the -dev folders to install the python-libtorrent on Edgy, but even then I still get this error:

any ideas?

you need boost libs, but you might as well install deluge-torrent from the edgy backports repo

[acconrad]

i do have all of the boost libs (and their -dev counterparts) specified in the INSTALL file...where is this backports repo?
