native compile and build transmission with unslung

SRS 10/28/2011

Having successfuly compiled/built Transmission-242+

natively on NSLU2 UnSlung? 6.10 I now post some

notes so that others can achieve.

____________________________________________________

be sure internet is connected

ipkg update

ipkg remove wget (conflicts with wget-ssl)

ipkg install optware-devel

ipkg install openssl-dev

ipkg install libcurl-dev

install these three perl modules:

Encode-Locale-1.02

URI-1.59

libwww-perl-6.03

http:// computerfixpro.com/perl-www.zip

originally from:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/(approve sites)

example install:

tar xvzf libwww-perl-6.03.tar.gz

cd libwww-perl-6.03

perl Makefile.PL

make

make install

_____________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________

get TortoiseSVN?

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html(approve sites)

http:// computerfixpro.com/tortoisesvn.zip

http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk

put in directory like: svn-nslu2

copy to NSLU2 via ftp the 'svn-nslu2' directory

from nslu2 chmod -R 777 svn-nslu2

Or directly from nslu2:

svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk svn-nslu2

__________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________

cd svn-nslu2

and edit file Makefile ~line 442 (changing awk to gawk)

FROM:

if test x86_64 = `uname -m` -a 32-bit = `file /sbin/init | awk '{print $$3}'`; then echo i386 ; else uname -m; fi

TO:

if test x86_64 = `uname -m` -a 32-bit = `file /sbin/init | gawk '{print $$3}'`; then echo i386 ; else uname -m; fi

be sure internet is connected

now from nslu2:

cd svn-nslu2

make nslu2-target

cd nslu2

make directories toolchain ipkg-utils

.

.

now it is time to compile (for example) transmission

.

______________________________________________________

.

edit ...\svn-nslu2\make\transmission.mk

~ line 28: TRANSMISSION_VERSION=2.42

to reflect the version of transmission you want from:

http:// mirrors.m0k.org/transmission/files

(~line 27 transmission.mk)

now you are ready to compile (for example) transmission

from the 'nslu2' directory:

make transmission

you may/will get error:

"libcurl >= 7.15.4 were not met"

edit ../svn-nslu2/nslu2/staging/opt/lib/pkgcongig/libcurl.pc

remove the line: URL: http :\\ curl.hazz.se/...

now:

cd /svn-nslu2/nslu2/

make transmission

to continue from where you left off

your executables will show up in:

../svn/nslu2/builds/transmission/

but if you want to install via ipkg you should do:

cd /svn-nslu2/nslu2/

make transmission-ipk

the transmission .ipk will be at:

/svn-nslu2/nslu2/builds

install your ipk:

ipkg install transmission-2.42-1_armeb.ipk

be SURE to include the .ipk else ipkg install will try to download it

you may need to:

ipkg remove transmission if there is a version conflict

.

dont forget:

Package: transmission

Version: 2.42+-1

Depends: openssl, libcurl, libevent, zlib

.

.

.

.

______________________________________________________________

.

If you wish to use your own source then create/edit/patch the source code as you want

put it in a directory like "transmission-2.42+"

tar then bz2 it to "transmission-2.42+.tar.bz2"

( from Windows I use TotalCommander? with Total7zip_0852 plugin)

copy transmission-2.42+.tar.bz2 to .../svn-nslu2/downloads/

delete all in ...\svn-nslu2\nslu2\builds\transmission

edit ...\svn-nslu2\make\transmission.mk

~ line 28: TRANSMISSION_VERSION=2.42+

as previously described above --

from the 'nslu2' directory:

make transmission

then

make transmission-ipk

install your ipk:

ipkg install transmission-2.42+-1_armeb.ipk

be SURE to include the .ipk else ipkg install will try to download it

you may need to:

ipkg remove transmission if there is a version conflict

.

dont forget:

Package: transmission

Version: 2.42+-1

Depends: openssl, libcurl, libevent, zlib

.

.

hope all this is helpfull...

here is a nice patched transmission.ipk natively compiled

and optomized and debugged for nslu2 enjoy...
