Hi,
I compile my versions from many versions ... back
You can use libtorrent 1.05 ... and Qt from source and everything work.
Use Synaptic to install libxxxxxxx-dev ... Boost and other libs
You need to adjust some options in ./configure
I'm happy to help you in this research :-) :-) :-)
Regards,
Neuron

it says newest version already installed.
aptitude/apt-get uses whatever executable is 'current' in the packages defined on your machine.
Code: Select all
apt-cache show qbittorrent | egrep "[Vv]ersion"
To show what version it is.

Seems like you will have to compile everything then.
download libboost 1.55
The "instructions" that they provide for installing are, even by Linux open source library standards pretty abysmal and about as clear as mud. but
CoderWall to the rescue, and explain it in English rather than in convoluted Gibberish with an extra large measure of Geekinese thrown in.
Download libtorrent 1.0.n and compile in the usual way
Then download and compile whatever version of qbittorrent you are wanting to use.

Checking for boost libraries:
checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
checking for exit in -l/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf... no
checking for exit in -lboost_system-/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf... no
configure: error: Could not link against boost_system-/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf !
root@c1:~/libtorrent-rasterbar-1.0.6# ./configure --with-boost-system=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
EDIT - Fixed with adding with-boost-libdir , it points to dir other command tries to refer to file
./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
Will install qbittorrent now

I was looking to compile 3.3.1 vut QT 5.5 has hit the road block , are we sure we need this instruction to be followed the size is 305MB ??
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... x/qt5.html
Then i configured by using qt4 so it does not matter whether its qt4 or qt5 if i'm not using the GUI ? I use Web GUI but not the linux since I'm on command line Debian
./configure --disable-gui --with-qt4 --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf

Tried it ... ... Doesn't work as expected, always ends with the buggy 5.2.1 installed instead of the expected 5.5.x
https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
Tried it several times ... ... Doesn't work as expected either
So if ANYBODY knows how to get QT5 to works as you would expect, without having to rebuild the machine from the ground up ... .. tell me please.

By the way
"as you would expect" means;
Without having to 'manually' create a minefield of symlinks and aliases.

Well! I give up.
After three days of Installing, removing, rebuilding, installing, removing cleaning out every trace of qt5, downloading, rebuilding etc. etc. ad nauseam, I cannot get qt5 to actually be at ANY version higher than 5.2.1 which has a bug that means the tray icon is missing.
Searching the problem on Google brings up plenty of complaints about the "so-called installer" screwing things up but no real solution as yet.
