= rTorrent on Windows = Since Aug 12 2010 [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin] has a built in [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] package, so you only need to use the following method for installing [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent], if you need [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ XMLRPC-C] support. * [#install Installing rTorrent on Windows] * [#cygwin Installing Cygwin] * [#libsigc Installing libsigc++] * [#libtorrent Installing libTorrent] * [#xmlrpc Installing XMLRPC-C (optional)] * [#rtorrent Installing rTorrent] * [#use Using rTorrent on Windows without installing Cygwin] * [#download Download rTorrent on Windows binaries] * [#direct Direct download (7z archive)] * [#bittorrent BitTorrent download (preferred)] * [#configure Configure rTorrent on Windows] * [#screenshots Screenshots] == Installing rTorrent on Windows == #install To be able to run [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] on Windows, you are going to need [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin]. === Installing Cygwin === #cygwin Download Cygwin 1.7 (or newer) from the [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin page] ([http://cygwin.com/setup.exe direct link]). Start the installer, choose "Install from internet", select a directory to install Cygwin, and one for the packages to be downloaded to, then set up your connection and pick a mirror. You're going to need the following packages in order to compile and run [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent]: * cppunit * gcc * git * libcurl-devel * libncurses-devel * libtool * make * openssl-devel * patch * pkg-config * subversion * wget These might require some other packages, let them be installed. Wait until the installer downloads and installs the necessary packages, check wherever you want shortcuts, and close the installer. When you're done, start Cygwin (if you choose not create any shortcuts, you can start Cygwin with the cygwin.bat in your installation directory). Now you can proceed with [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent]. === Installing libsigc++ === #libsigc Since there is no [http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ libsigc++] package for [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin], you're going to need to compile this one first. By default, [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin] has no /usr/localr/src, so create one. {{{ mkdir -p /usr/local/src }}} Download, compile and install the latest [http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ libsigc++] source from the [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsigc++/ Gnome ftp site] - at the time of writing this manual, it was 2.2.10. {{{ cd /usr/local/src/ wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsigc++/2.2/libsigc++-2.2.10.tar.bz2 tar xjvf libsigc++-2.2.10.tar.bz2 cd /usr/local/src/libsigc++-2.2.10 ./configure make make install cd .. }}} === Installing libTorrent === #libtorrent Download the latest [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ libTorrent] source from the [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/browser/trunk svn repository], compile, and install it. {{{ cd /usr/local/src/ git clone https://github.com/rakshasa/libtorrent libtorrent-git cd /usr/local/src/libtorrent-git ./autogen.sh ./configure --disable-mincore make make install cd .. }}} === Installing XMLRPC-C (optional) === #xmlrpc If you want to be able to control [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] via [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ XMLRPC-C], let's say by [wiki:WikiStart rTWi]. For that, you need to install [http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ XMLRPC-C], preferably something over version 1.07. {{{ cd /usr/local/src/ svn co https://xmlrpc-c.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xmlrpc-c/stable/ xmlrpc-c-svn cd /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn ./configure --disable-cplusplus make make install cd .. }}} If the 'make install' files, try to copy the necessary files by yourself. {{{ mkdir -p /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/include/xmlrpc-c/*.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/ ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/oldxmlrpc.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc.h ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/server.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc_server.h ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/server_abyss.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc_abyss.h ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/server_w32httpsys.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc_server_w32httpsys.h ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/client.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc_client.h ln -s /usr/local/include/xmlrpc-c/server_cgi.h /usr/local/include/xmlrpc_cgi.h; cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/xmlrpc-c-config /usr/local/bin/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/abyss/src/*.a /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/abyss/src/*.dll /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/expat/xmlparse/*.a /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/expat/xmlparse/*.dll /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/expat/xmltok/*.a /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/expat/xmltok/*.dll /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/libutil/*.a /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/lib/libutil/*.dll /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/src/*.a /usr/local/lib/ cp /usr/local/src/xmlrpc-c-svn/src/*.dll /usr/local/lib/ }}} === Installing rTorrent === #rtorrent Now download the latest [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] source from the [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/browser/trunk svn repository].

Download and apply this [http://static.jmk.hu/rtwi/downloads/misc/rtow.diff patch] (see ticket [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1184 #1184] and ticket [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1495 #1495] at the [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] trac). After you're done, you can compile and install [http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent]. {{{ cd /usr/local/src/ git clone https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent rtorrent-git cd /usr/local/src/rtorrent-git wget http://rtwi.jmk.hu/downloads/misc/rtow.diff patch -p0 < rtow.diff ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-xmlrpc-c make make install cd .. }}} You are now ready to run [wiki:rTorrentOnWindows rTorrent on Windows], just type rtorrent into your Cygwin window. == Using rTorrent on Windows without installing Cygwin == #use === Download rTorrent binaries for Windows === #download You can find all releases in the [http://static.jmk.hu/rtwi/downloads/rtow/ download section]. ==== Direct download (7z archive) ==== #direct Download and extract the [http://static.jmk.hu/rtwi/downloads/rtow/rtow-latest.7z .7z] archive to a directory of your choice.
