So I want to try and run CTorrent, and hopefully build a GUI wrapper for it, but I am having trouble building the thing.

I read the installation instructions that it needed OpenSSL and realised OS X has it by default, so ignored it. So I did the ./configured as it says and I get a error message back saying OpenSSL is missing. So I download OpenSSL via Fink and restart the configuring, I get the same message back.

I did a bit of Googling and the only thing I could find similar was this blog post:

Anyone got any ideas at all?

Thanks,
Oliver

Sure, so I don't have any particular experience with CTorrent but if you install openssl via fink you'll have to tell the configure script for CTorrent to look in fink's path for the libraries and includes, right?

It should be something like this right?

Code:
./configure --with-includes="/sw/include" --with-libs="/sw/lib"

You don't need fink to build CTorrent.

Edit the configure script, and change the following lines:

line 2833, from:
LIBS="-lssl $LIBS"
to:
LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl $LIBS"

and line 2887, from:
LIBS="-lssl $LIBS"
to
LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl $LIBS"

(in short, just change the 2 occurrences of '-lssl' into '-lcrypto -lssl')
it should then compile and run (I haven't tested it, but the above solution will at least solve the OpenSSL problem you described).

Just wanted to say this still works in 10.4. Thx much for the hint.

Thanks, but no thanks, c3dlc2.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to make this thing run? I changed the config as told, by I'm totally lost.
