| 7 | ABOUT TRANSMISSION-QT |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | Transmission-qt is a GUI for Transmission loosely based on the GTK+ client. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | This is the only Transmission client that can act as its own self-contained |
|---|
| 12 | session (as the GTK+ and Mac clients do), and can also connect to a remote |
|---|
| 13 | session (as the web client and transmission-remote terminal client do). |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | Use Case 1: If you like to run BitTorrent for awhile from your desktop, |
|---|
| 16 | then the Mac, GTK+, and Qt clients are a good match. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Use Case 2: If you like to leave BitTorrent running nonstop on your |
|---|
| 19 | computer or router, and want to control it from your desktop or |
|---|
| 20 | from a remote site, then transmission-remote and the web and Qt clients |
|---|
| 21 | are a good match. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | To use the Qt client as a remote, in the menu go to Edit > Change Session |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | The Qt client is also the most likely to wind up running on Windows, |
|---|
| 26 | though that's not a high priority at the moment... |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | BUILDING |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | This currently is a little awkward. We're working on it... |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | 1. Prerequisites: Qt >= 4.x and its development packages |
|---|
| 33 | 2. Build Transmission as normal |
|---|
| 34 | 3. If you built Transmission without DHT, edit qtr.pro: |
|---|
| 35 | - LIBS += $${TRANSMISSION_TOP}/third-party/dht/libdht.a |
|---|
| 36 | 4. In the qt/ directory, type "qmake-qt4 qtr.pro" |
|---|
| 37 | 5. In the qt/ directory, type "make" |
|---|
| 38 | 6. In the qt/ directory, as root, type "INSTALL_ROOT=/usr make install" |
|---|
| 39 | (Feel free to replace /usr with /usr/local or /opt or whatever) |
|---|
