Although the build script can create binaries and packages for Arch Linux as well, it can be also installed through the “Arch User Repository” (AUR) PKGBUILDs maintained by @QDesjardin. These use a standard Arch build process, but include all the patches.
There is one package for libtorrent-ps-ch, and one for rtorrent-ps-ch, and both take their dependencies from the normal OS packages.
Before building binaries or packages, install these packages on top of the base
and base-devel
groups (list is user-provided, report any problems to @QDesjardin):
pacman -S lsb-release subversion git time lsof tmux wget python2-setuptools \
python2-virtualenv python2 python2-cffi cppunit libxml2 libxslt
The following features are not included in this way:
- CPU optimized build
- relative rpath linking
- git version support
- using specific version of external libraries (libcurl, c-ares, libxmlrpc)
