From now and on all the files I'll host them externally in order to reduce the bandwidth usage. So the files are in the links.

Pay attention that the new versions of transmission >2.20 need the latest libevent 2.0.10 and so you have to install it. For more informations check the first post.

Thanks Michalis, great work, as always...

Michalis...I think there is something wrong with this version of transmission (2.20), since it fails to download anything...it gives a series of errors, or finds no peers...using version 2.21 in ubuntu works fine....I don't know if it's a problem related to this specific version or some incompatibility with puppy.... did you or someone else find the same problems? maybe we could try to compile version 2.21?

I haven't noticed any of these problems. Anyway I have download 2.21 and will compile it. I hadn't noticed it because they haven't announce it in their webpage.

I downloaded 2.22 & libs and installed on 431. I get the following error:

(process:21211): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
transmission-gtk: symbol lookup error: transmission-gtk: undefined symbol: gtk_entry_set_icon_from_stock

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chuck

Which puppy did you compile it on?

Code: Select all

Shouldn't it be ?

hi Michalis if you install this static libevent pet I compiled, Then just compile transmission like you normally do and you won't need libevent as a extra dep, it will be statically built into transmission itself. maybe just toss this libevent static into your devx and forget about it, Just compile transmission and that its
save a extra step and extra time

Hi Michalis, when you have time, version 2.31 is out...thanks as always...

Transmission 2.22 worked for me in Lucid 5.2.5. I had to install the libevent 2. I didn't test downloading.

I have added the full version with NLS to the puppy-lucid repo of PPM in Lucid.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... cid525.pet

To update the index of puppy-lucid repo use Quickpet -> More Pets -> Update Lupu PPM

Transmission updated to version 2.31

Your pet didn't worked in puppy 4.3.1, in which I wanted to compile. Anyway I made another of version 2.0.11 in 4.3.1.

I build it statically but I noticed that in the complete version the overall size is much larger (in puppy terms) than installing the shared version of libevent and transmission build against it. In the small version the size is smaller.

So if someone wants the small version is better to install the static one. If someone wants the full package is better to stick with the shared version.

For the time being I'm undecided whether I should build it statically or not. Generally I prefer shared libraries so that there is the potential to install other programs that they need, keeping the overall size smaller.


Anyway please drop your options in order to help me decide.

Shared please.

+1 for shared
and thanks for 2.31

luci529 Transmission 2.31

edit': this does actually download.

Michalis, version 2.33 is out, when you can....
