How to install from tar.gz

[ismanpa]

Hello,

I have read a lot, but found no solution.

I want to install qbittorrent 3.3 from tar,gz.  When I run ./configure, I get this:  'No package 'libtorrent-rasterbar' found'

Thank you!

You need to install the qt4 and/or qt5 libraries plus boost and libtorrent libraries

Boost 1.59:
Download boost

Extract the files,

in a console:
./bootstrap.sh

sudo ./b2 --install

libtorrent:
download libtorrent

extract the files:

in a console:
./configure
make
sudo make install

QT5
download QT5

in a console:
chmod +x ./*run
run the installer with ./*.run (BUT do not run it logged in as root or using sudo)

Addition:
When the QT installer starts make sure you select QT5.5 (it does look selected but is only a partial set). Otherwise it will only install Q5.2.1 wich has a problem resulting in no tray icon.

Now you can compile qbittorrent.

In an addition to the addition.

Forget the very "un-linuxesque online/offline QT5  'installers', which at first looks appear to do a 'bang-up' job, but does require 'super-geek' powers to make it so you CAN compile QT projects without being forced to use QTCreator for everything (how very Micro$oft of you, QT guys)

Follow the instructions HERE as it gives better instructions than QT themselves do.
