Trying to compile KTorrent from source

[Stonecold1995]

I want to install KTorrent 4.3.0 from source. This is exactly what I did:

cd /tmp
sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent
wget http://ktorrent.org/downloads/4.3.0/ktorrent-4.3.0.tar.bz2
atool -x ktorrent-4.3.0.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-4.3.0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) ..
make

But that gave me this error:

alex@kubuntu:/tmp/ktorrent-4.3.0/build$ make

Hi,
The error says that it can not find the file called "connectionlimit.h" which is a file found in the package libktorrent-1.3.0.tar.bz2, and the instructions at the ktorrent site says that libktorrent must be compiled first.

Here are the downloads and instructions
http://ktorrent.org/?q=downloads

Also don't forget the dependencies of libktorrent4:

sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent libktorrent4

I had forgotten about libktorrent. Thank you.

Guys, what if I had successfully installed dependenses by command

sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent

and built libktorrent from sources, but still have error

ktorrent-4.3.1/libktcore/interfaces/functions.cpp:35:34: fatal error: peer/connectionlimit.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [libktcore/CMakeFiles/ktcore.dir/interfaces/functions.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [libktcore/CMakeFiles/ktcore.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

during building of ktorrent. What should I do to fix that?

Read post #3.

As I've said, I've built libktorrent and have installed dependenses, but still have error. It's strange that missed file is placed in source directory in libktorrent folder, but isn't placed in ktorrent folder...

[oldos2er]

Which version of libktorrent did you build? And what version of KDE are you running?

I ran into this same problem myself. The solution that worked for me was to uninstall the older repository versions of both ktorrent and libktorrent; then I was able to compile and install the new ones.
