Transmission 2.22 for Dockstar?
March 21, 2011 02:00AM
Hi there,
has anyone already compiled Transmission 2.22 (especially transmission-deamon) for the Dockstar?

The most "recent" Version, also in Sid, is 2.03-2.

Or does anyone has a simple guide how to cross compile such packages and pack it into a .deb file for installation and distribution?

Hi darkside40,

Basically, you need a cross compiler setup. I am using a Ubuntu machine, and these instructions work fine:

Download and setup cross compiler from here:
http://general.nas-central.org/wiki/Setting_up_the_codesourcery_toolchain_for_X86_to_ARM9_cross_compiling

Run these additional commands:

cd /usr/local/codesourcery/arm-2009q3/bin/
ln -s arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy objcopy

Next, download the latest transmission source code on your machine and attempt a cross-compile.
To produce a Debian package, you can use checkinstall. Just make sure you run ./configure first, and then run checkinstall.

Hope that helps somewhat. I haven't tried compiling this at home, but should work. If not, we can troubleshoot from there.
