# Alpine Linux build instructions
|
||
|
||
This guide will help you install qBittorrent on Alpine Linux using a combination of packages installed using `apk` and dependencies built using `cmake`.
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ This guide should work in any [Alpine arch](http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main) as long as the required [packages dependencies](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org) are available to install for that arch. This guide was tested on `x86_64`
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ This guide will install qBittorrent and dependencies using shared libraries. At the point of writing this guide the latest version of Alpine is `3.13`
|
||
|
||
The majority of these commands are copy and paste but some can be modified. For example, in the libtorrent section there is a choice between libtorrent `v1` or `v2`. Check the notes and commented commands for more information.
|
||
|
||
Check out the [common information](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Compilation-with-CMake-common-information) page to learn more about the available build configuration options for qBittorrent (for example, to compile qBittorrent without the GUI) and also CMake itself, if you're new to it.
|
||
|
||
## Build dependencies
|
||
|
||
These are the build dependencies we need to install using `apk`
|
||
|
||
```ash
|
||
apk add autoconf automake build-base cmake curl git libtool linux-headers perl pkgconf python3 python3-dev re2c tar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Application dependencies
|
||
|
||
These are application dependencies we need to install using `apk`
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ The `iconv` libraries needed for `libtorrent` v1.2 are built into `/usr/lib/libc.so` so we do not need to install `iconv` as a dependency.
|
||
|
||
```ash
|
||
apk add icu-dev libexecinfo-dev openssl-dev qt5-qtbase-dev qt5-qttools-dev zlib-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Ninja build
|
||
|
||
⚠️ There is no `apk` version for Alpine `3.12` or greater so we need to build it. It won't take long.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone --shallow-submodules --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja.git ~/ninja && cd ~/ninja
|
||
git checkout "$(git tag -l --sort=-v:refname "v*" | head -n 1)"
|
||
cmake -Wno-dev -B build \
|
||
-D CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
|
||
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
|
||
cmake --build build
|
||
cmake --install build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Boost build files
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ All we need to bootstrap boost is to download and extract the files. There is nothing to build at this step.
|
||
|
||
Download and extract the boost files.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -sNLk https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz -o "$HOME/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz"
|
||
tar xf "$HOME/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz" -C "$HOME"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Libtorrent
|
||
|
||
Download and build libtorrent by checking out the `RC_1_2` branch. You can also change the `git checkout` command filter `"v1*"` to `"v2*"` to use the latest version of a specific tag
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ Any tag can be used to checkout the version you want - https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/tags
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone --shallow-submodules --recurse-submodules https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent.git ~/libtorrent && cd ~/libtorrent
|
||
# git checkout "$(git tag -l --sort=-v:refname "v2*" | head -n 1)" # always checkout the latest release of libtorrent v2
|
||
git checkout "$(git tag -l --sort=-v:refname "v1*" | head -n 1)" # always checkout the latest release of libtorrent v1
|
||
cmake -Wno-dev -G Ninja -B build \
|
||
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
|
||
-D BOOST_INCLUDEDIR="$HOME/boost_1_76_0/" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR="lib" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
|
||
cmake --build build
|
||
cmake --install build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## qBittorrent
|
||
|
||
Build and install qBittorrent
|
||
|
||
ℹ️ Any tag can be used to checkout the version you want - https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/tags
|
||
|
||
⚠️ You are most likely not using a GUI (desktop) with Alpine, so remember to pass `-D GUI=OFF`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone --shallow-submodules --recurse-submodules https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent.git ~/qbittorrent && cd ~/qbittorrent
|
||
git checkout "$(git tag -l --sort=-v:refname | head -n 1)" # always checkout the latest release of qbittorrent
|
||
cmake -Wno-dev -G Ninja -B build \
|
||
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="release" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
|
||
-D BOOST_INCLUDEDIR="$HOME/boost_1_76_0/" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES="/usr/lib/libexecinfo.so" \
|
||
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
|
||
cmake --build build
|
||
cmake --install build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Tidy up the downloaded build files
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd && rm -rf qbittorrent libtorrent ninja boost_1_76_0 boost_1_76_0.tar.gz
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Post build
|
||
|
||
You can now run `qbittorrent-no` as it will be in the path (or `qbittorrent`, if you build with the GUI).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
qbittorrent-nox
|
||
``` |
