Description Ambroz Bizjak 2012-12-06 00:29:33 UTC

There are two cross-compilation problems with libtorrent:
- The configure script is doing a run-check for something related to kqueue (which does not exist on Linux) and fails because it can't run the program.
- Libtool .la files are installed, preventing cross-compilation of rtorrent against libtorrent.

Reproducible: Always

This patch fixes both problems. The cppunit dependency is needed by the autoreconf.

Patch (for libtorrent itself) fixing the kqueue check problem.

Comment 5 Stephen Shkardoon 2018-06-25 08:11:31 UTC

Also relies on https://github.com/rakshasa/libtorrent/pull/175 (or similar) being merged.

Once those two patches are included, the final step is to create a new ebuild with --with-zlib="${EROOT%/}/usr/" being sent to ./configure.
