================== Overview ================== luatorrent is a module wrapping the functionality of libtorrent to allow developers to write bittorrent clients in Lua. Not all of libtorrent's functionality has been exposed (yet), but simple functionality is available. ================== Prerequisites ================== * Lua 5.1 + development libraries * Libtorrent 0.12 + development libraries * Boost 1.33.1 + development libraries All prerequisites (plus all development libraries) MUST be installed prior to building luatorrent. ================== Build Guide ================== Under Linux run make linux Under OSX run make macosx ================== Windows ================== Under Windows the build process is more complicated than under *nix. Assuming you have a copy of Vistual Studio, The steps used to build the library are as follows: 1. Grab the prebuilt boost binaries from: http://www.boost-consulting.com/products/free Use version 1.35.0. 2. Grab the latest libtorrent stable source from http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/index.html 3. Under VS, create a new MFC DLL project. Turn off PCH support, and add all the CPP and H files from the luatorrent directory. Add the following pre-processor defines: WIN32 _WINDOWS; _USRDLL WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB UNICODE TORRENT_USE_OPENSSL NDEBUG I also imported the source to libtorrent into the luatorrent project, as I had problems using libtorrent as a DLL. Add the following Additional Dependancies: libboost_system-vc$VER-mt-1_35.lib libboost_filesystem-vc$VER-mt-1_35.lib libboost_date_time-vc$VER-mt-1_35.lib libboost_thread-vc$VER-mt-1_35.lib lua51.lib libeay32.lib ssleay32.lib Add the following Additional Include Header Files: <path to>\boost-1_35_0\ <path to>\libtorrent\include\ <path to>\libtorrent\include\libtorrent\ <path to>\libtorrent\zlib\ <path to>\OpenSSL\include\ The DLL should build without errors. I STRONGLY suggest you use the luatorrent binary package for Windows I've provided. ================== Examples ================== dump_torrent.lua: Load a .torrent file and extract some of the information available. simple_client.lua: Create a session object, add a torrent file to the session and download the torrent's files. ================== TODO ================== * Finish wrapping all of libtorrents functionality * Add more error checking when calling C++ code * Provide support for Cygwin and/or Mingw32
