Hello,
-Ubuntu 9.10.
-I want to update to ktorrent 4.0.4.
-Following the install instructions:
http://ktorrent.org/?q=downloads
-This command:
sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
-Gives no end of errors. Which can be fixed by installing appropriate dependencies/packages specified at:
http://ktorrent.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ# ... _depend.3F

NOTE: Installing of packages involves "System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager" and locating all similar worded package names and installing those.
-This link is also helpful and suggests using a 3rd party compiled ktorrent:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3761
-This does not solve my issue (which should be added to the body of knowledge for others).

-After the previous command terminates successfully, executing

sudo make

gives the following error:


[ 0%] Built target ktorrent_automoc

Any ideas on why I receive this error?

Your KDE version is to old, you need at least 4.4

Thanks George, I was suspecting this.
NOTE: All I am trying to do. Is get the current KTorrent stable release version 4.0.4 to work.
-How can I install KDE libraries ver >=4.4?

WHERE I AM AT:
-In Ubuntu: I use GNOME 2.28.1. (System->About GNOME) with GDM.
-I wish to keep GDM and would like to avoid a bulky system (but probably can´t avoid it now).
-(KDE ver4.5 being the latest stable). Available from:
http://www.kde.org/info/4.5.2.php.
-The Synaptic package manager has the individual package binaries of 4.4.2.
-I have gone through the above list and manually selected the packages for install in Synaptic (1GB after install).
-There are 3rd party (user contributed binaries) available at:
http://download.kde.org/binarydownload. ... ble/4.4.4/
But I avoided these.
-I did the above installs because:
-In KTorrent: It says KTtorrent version is 3.2.4 (Help->KTorrent).
-In KTorrent: It says KDE 4.3.2 (Help->About KDE). It also says 4.3.2 in (konqueror and dolphin).
-However, after the install (and a reboot to be safe), these applications still say a KDE of 4.3.2??
-And the same error still exists when executing "make".
kindest regards,
Ian.

I haven't met such problem, but all I can suggest are few. Very agree with the following opinions:
Note: the installation kits include "> >" management system - synaptic package manager "and positioning for all similar wording package name and installation.
This url also to have the help very much, and suggested using third-party compile ktorrent:
Viewtopic. PHP Fahrenheit = 2 & tons = 3761

Thanks!
-I have kTorrent working on Ubuntu 10.10 now.
-What I have ended up doing is replacing my system from Karmic Koala (9.10) to 10.10.
-This wasn't really by choice.
-After trying extremely hard to get kTorrent to compile by installing various packages/upgrades. I ended up 'breaking Ubuntu' somehow in all the upgrades.
-I tried rescuing the system but needed a complete reinstall.

-On Ubuntu 10.10. The installation instructions work with no hassles. That is:
For Stable KDE4 version :
Download: ktorrent-4.0.4.tar.bz2 and libktorrent-1.0.4.tar.bz2

sudo apt-get install build-essential kdesdk kdelibs5-dev libqca2-dev libgmp3-dev subversion cmake automoc kdebase-workspace-dev libboost-dev kdepimlibs5-dev libtag1-dev python-kde4 kdelibs5-dev libgeoip-dev

tar -xvjf libktorrent-1.0.4.tar.bz2
cd libktorrent-1.0.4.tar.bz2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install

Compiling and installing ktorrent:

tar -xvjf ktorrent-4.0.4.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-4.0.4.tar.bz2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install


-If anyone is interested. I can upload the many steps I tried to get 9.10 to work but ended up breaking Ubuntu 9.10 trying to get kTorrent to work.

kind regards,
Ian.
