This is what it should be

INCLUDEPATH += $$quote(C:/qBittorrent/install_msvc/base/include/boost)

I specifically say what lines to edit and what lines to comment out in the .pri files. It means that you need to put the correct boost folder name and boost .lib names.

I did it and independently to how yo edit that pri file, MSVC looks for "boost"at some point when compiling, not boost-1_60.

You can name the .../qBittorrent/boost-XXX folder whatever you want though as you suggest, but the subfolder within include must be boost.  That's why I say is not right as it is.
And then if you need that extra renaming step at the end because you added the version numbers to the folder names from the start, it simply makes more sense to remove them  from the names like the old guide workflow.

Not sure if I'm explaining it right.

Using my instructions, after I issue "b2 bla bla --install" it always installs to base/include/boost-<version_number>.
I don't know why for you it installed at just "boost"
Also if you hit started building in QtCreator before adjusting the paths in the pri files, then you need to righ-click on the `qbittorrent` entry in the sidepanel tree(root element) and select "run qmake". Or just manually delete your build folder.

And the guide you're linking wasn't created by me nor was it official.

I find it easier to just follow the name convention from the other guide, specially for newbies compiling qt, while following your guide. That's all.
Well I got it working at the end and hopefully others will not have the same problem, maybe I did something wrong at some point (?).

Anyway, thanks. Without your guide I would not have been able to compile it.

Have another question, maybe a bit stupid but I'm not sure with all those libs and dependencies.

If I want to use a new libtorrent or qbit version, can I just recompile them? If I understood it right both are need ssl, zlib, boost, etc. but no need to redo that part.
And qt is independent to all so only needed to compile it once (?).

Just repeat the respective step only. But first delete(or backup) the respective folder inside include/lib. If the old exists while you compile the new one errors might arise.

Any ETA for 3.3.4 release?

Seeing the Milestone its close to be released I think.

Here is qBittorrent 3.3.4 built with MSVC 2015 express.

3.3.4 link-> http://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html
Changelog: http://www.qbittorrent.org/news.php

Libraries's version used:
Libtorrent: 1.0.8+git602dc02
Qt: 5.6
Boost: 1.60.0

Before anyone asks why I didn't use libtorrent 1.0.9: There is a problem with udp port binding on Windows. That means no DHT, no magnet links, no udp trackers and no uTP connections. I wanted to prevent bug reports for this.

Thanks alot sledge, and as always all the other guys at Github too.

Will install it tomorrow right away.

Same old UI in 3.3.4. Disappointed.

Hopefully sometime soon it can look like software made this decade.

Thank you sledgehammer_999!

3.3.4 seems fine on my xp machine except...

When you try to resize the add dialog, it resizes the torrent info instead of the torrent content.

Its being worked on if you would follow the Github page.

I don't see the problem as long as it works like it should, but thats me.

Is this a bug?

The Torrent Creator doesn't remember the last-checked status of the check boxes at the bottom.  For example, it defaults to
...regardless of whether I changed the check boxes the last time.  Shouldn't it remember what I put the last time and default to that?  I looked for a setting in options that addresses this, but I couldn't find one.

Seems spot on to me mate.

I like the current UI, simple & clean is the way it should be.

I'd rather keep the 1990s UI than replace it with some retarded "modern" ui..
Im personally not a fan of clusterfuck ui's like this for example:



/e:
What are you building/packing/installing qbittorent with? Anything in addition to MSVC?
There seem to be false positives related to the installer but not the extracted files?

+1.
Don't mess with it!!

The UI has been discussed enough already.
If you want bells and whistles, go grab yourself one of the bloated clients instead..
There are plenty to choose from!
