Do you want it for Port 4.0 or 5.0rc3?

According to wikipedia QBittorrent
It uses Boost, Qt 5 toolkit, and the libtorrent-rasterbar library (for the torrent back-end)
It depends on what flavour of Porteus you use.
Some like XFCE lack Qt 5, never heard of Boost or libtorrent-rasterbar library

At least QT 5 is a huge dependency, but it can be added as extra separate module only for those who need it.

Currently I do not have the time to make the module(s) for you.

Use https://pkgs.org/ for searching, then choose the appropriate Slackware files (e.g. Slackware current when you want it for 5.0rc3.)

Ask

Code: Select all

cat /etc/slackware-version
what Slackware version your Porteus is using.

E.g. mine reports

Code: Select all

Slackware 15.0
Currently, that is also slackware-current.

You can also use https://slakfinder.org/index.php?act=se ... e=#results (Cave, that link sets the repo to 64current)

Create the Qbittorrent, Boost, Qt 5 toolkit, and the libtorrent-rasterbar library as module and activate all.

If Qbittorrent is not starting:
Then look where qbittorrent is located and use this

Code: Select all

ldd /path/to/binary|grep not
to look for missing libraries. Set /path/to/ to the actual path and the binary name to what the binary is named.
If missing dependencies are listed, create the needed modules, activate them and try

Code: Select all

ldd /path/to/binary|grep not
again.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

You need at least the qt5 libraries.

The "ldd /path/to/executable |grep not" trick shows you all missing dependencies.

But… it does not show a dependency for a dependency that is not solved yet, so you can run into multiple instances when dependencies then created as module and activated as module need own list of dependencies.

You can also look into what the slackbuild URL of the package you try to get running tells you is needed as dependency, and first create modules of all the ones named there, and after activating all these only then try to use the "ldd /path/to/executable |grep not" trick.
But when doing so make sure you not try to create a module of something that already exists in the system.
Cheers!
