Combined README files to reduce clutter. However, the build instructions are incomplete ... I've started by modifying these so a build will complete using the instructions once I get a closer look at libtorrent ... additions welcome.

## BUILDING
|
|
|
|
Jump into the github cloned directory
|
|
```
|
|
cd rtorrent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install build dependencies
|
|
Example, Ubuntu
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install libncurses-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generate configure scripts:
|
|
```
|
|
libtoolize && aclocal -I scripts && autoconf -i && autoheader && automake --add-missing"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally, generate man pages:
|
|
```
|
|
docbook2man rtorrent.1.xml
|
|
```
|
|
man pages output to "doc/rtorrent.1"
|
|
|
|
rtorrent follows the development of [libtorrent](https://libtorrent.org/) closely, and thus the versions must be in sync. This should not be nessesary in the future, when the library API stabilizes.

## USAGE
|
|
|
|
Refer to User Guide: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/User-Guide
|
|
|
|
## LICENSE
|
|
|
|
GNU GPL, see COPYING. "libtorrent/src/utils/sha_fast.{cc,h}" is
|
|
originally from the Mozilla NSS and is under a triple license; MPL,
|
|
LGPL and GPL. An exception to non-NSS code has been added for linking to OpenSSL as requested by Debian, though the author considers that library to be part of the Operative System and thus linking is allowed according to the GPL.
|
|
|
|
Use whatever fits your purpose, the code required to compile with
|
|
Mozilla's NSS implementation of SHA1 has been retained and can be
|
|
compiled if the user wishes to avoid using OpenSSL.
