Help compiling transmission fork

[Skoven]

Hi all.

Can someone guide me to compile this transmission fork for arm7/Entware-Ng:

I asked the dev. Mikaye for help, but i am not able to follow the instruction due to my noob linux skills
I'm basically stuck at the very first "task":

Entware-ng uses OpenWrt Buildroot, please install its dependencies (=step 1, without subversion mercurial) first.

This is taken from the question i asked here: http://thomaslaroche.tumblr.com/post/93401383596/transmission-sequential#comment-2595222196

Unfortunately, you will have to recompile Transmission from source to apply the patch...
First install Entware compilation environment and test compiling vanilla transmission to see if it's working :

#Setup toolchain
make tools/install
make toolchain/install
make target/compile
#Compile transmission
make package/transmission/compile

If this works, try to use this Makefile instead of the Entware one (in feeds/packages/net/transmission)

And install the resulting package :

opkg install /path/to/your/package.ipkg

Please note that I haven't tested the above code and I'm hoping it will work...

Good luck

I hope someone more experienced can guide me trough it - and by that i mean: step by step similar to the guides in the merlin wiki-pages (transmission example): https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Installing-Transmission-through-Entware

Thank you

The simplest way for you is to apply the patch to debian version https://www.hqt.ro/compile-and-install-latest-transmissionbt-through-debian/

I actually tried that some time ago, and failed

What is the difference between running programs trough Debian vs. Entware-NG?

Also, take a look at transmission-cfp fork with number of interesting features like...

• prefetch-magnets-enabled - uTorrent-like ability to pick up content after magnet-link added,
• piece-temp-dir - to save downloaded, but unnecessary chunks,
• reverify-torrents-tries - to force content integrity check after torrent being downloaded,
• dht.bootstrap - adding DHT bootstrap nodes, when there's no chance to get it somewhere else,
  
• script-torrent-added-filename - make same automation after torrent has been added. I took it to Entware, here is an example of adding more trackers to current torrent,
  
• stream-mode-default - downloading media content from the head, to make it ready for playback right after download started,
• magnet link support in watchdir,
• UDP-trackers blacklist,
• Enhanced web seeds settings,
• Peer ID/User agent setup, which is handy for trackers where Transmission is banned,
• Torrent group setup to make personal setting for each group,
• Extended IPv6 interface settings,
• cheat-mode-default - ratio/seeding/leeching cheating. No comments.

It's based on 2.77 code (which is most stable by author opinion) and includes some new features like hierarchical content tree and so on.

I don't want to add this fork to Entware because of it's cheating abilities.

PS Original Transmission development is almost stopped. IMHO, its a stagnation. Too sad to see it.

On debian you can compile almost any packages without much knowledge

I'm basically stuck at the very first "task":

You need to build the toolchain and build environment first, then you can pull the code and patch...

BTW - the transmission devs rejected that patch, and for good reasons - it creates unhealthy swarms by biasing the front end of the file, rather than distributing the chunks across the whole file.

Mixed feelings here - at some point, the project is essentially done, and goes into maint mode for bug mashing, security, etc... I think transmission is probably at that stage.
