Topic: Compiling transmissioncli

The content of this topic has been archived on 1 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I installed openwrt on my asus wl-500gP box in order to use it as a router, webserver, ftp server, samba server and torrent/http/ftp download box.
I installed lighttpd + php5 with sqlite support succesfully, the samba server is also running. But I want to use torrentflux-b4rt as a webinterface to control my torrents. Torrentflux-b4rt is installed and running fine.

Now here's the trouble: Torrentflux-b4rt needs a patched version of transmissioncli, the source is included in the tf-b4rt package. Now I have to compile the source. I did it once on the oleg firmware before, but with openwrt I can't seem to find a package which contains a C compiler, or the automake tool.

Does anyone know how to compile the transmissioncli source on the router?

I've been trying to figure out how to cross-compile this thing for hours now and it still doesn't start to make any sense....

Isn't there anyone on the forum here who has experience doing this job who can do this for me in 2 minutes? big_smile

edit: wohoo! I cross-compiled a working transmissioncli! The Openwrt SDK exited with some errors, but I pulled out the transmissioncli and put it in /usr/sbin by hand. If people want I can build an ipk package for this software, just let me know and I will try to fix the last errors.
