I ran into a small glitch last night while trying to compile rtorrent 0.8.2 and libtorrent 0.12.2 with gcc 4.3.2. Both halted in compiling, with errors like “‘abs’ is not a member of ‘std'” and “‘gmtime’ is not a member of ‘std'”.

I found a page that shows how to circumvent similar errors in Ubuntu, and the patches it linked work for Crux too. Here’s the page, here’s the rtorrent patch and here’s the libtorrent patch. Click the download link at the bottom of both of those patch reports to download the text files.

Adding a patch line to the ports worked fine both times.

name=libtorrent

release=1
source=("http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/libtorrent-$version.tar.gz" \
"libtorrent-gcc43-v2.patch")

build()
{
   cd $name-$version
   patch -p1 -i $SRC/libtorrent-gcc43-v2.patch
   ./configure \
   --prefix=/usr \
   --disable-nls \
   --disable-debug
   make
   make install DESTDIR=$PKG
}

	cd $name-$version

	./configure \

	make
	make install DESTDIR=$PKG
	install -d $PKG/usr/share/$name/
	install doc/rtorrent.rc $PKG/usr/share/$name/
}

It looks like this time Ubuntu saves Crux. 😉
