transmission broken in oe7

[ZeeD]

the transmission-daemon is not working anymore after the update OE.

# ldd /storage/.kodi/addons/service.downloadmanager.transmission/bin/*   | grep not
        libcrypto.so.32 => not found
        libcrypto.so.32 => not found
$       not a dynamic executable

The cleanest solution is to rebuild the transmission addon for OpenELEC 7, in order to link it to libcrypto 35 as included with OpenELEC 7.

These are the steps I followed to cross-compile it for RPi2/3 on my Ubuntu system:

0. Install some dependencies as recommended by the OE doc:
   sudo apt-get install git make libxml-parser-perl cmake
1. Checkout OE, and switch to version 7:

git clone https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv.git
cd OpenELEC.tv
git checkout -b 7.0.0

2. Get the unofficial addon repo (this repo)
   git clone https://github.com/OpenELEC/unofficial-addons.git packages/unofficial

3. (until fixed) Patch the download URL for transmission or apply the patch from Transmission: Update package.mk #160:

cd packages/unofficial
curl https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/OpenELEC/unofficial-addons/pull/160.diff | patch -p1
cd ../..

4. Cross-compile transmission for the right arch (PROJECT=RPi2):
   PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm ./scripts/create_addon transmission
5. Wait a long time (the script will install missing deps for you) and perhaps answer yes to a few questions...
6. Find the zipfile for the transmission addon in target/addons/7.0/RPi2/arm/service.downloadmanager.transmission

I suppose someone ought to do this for all unofficial addons (and all supported architectures) and push the builds in the public repository of unofficial addons. Not sure who to ask, though ;-)

@odony odony, will these steps also work for making rTorrent work again on OE8?

thnx

[odony]

@maxonly1 probably not unless they are adapted. I couldn't manage to build rTorrent for OE8 after a quick test. Could be related to the other issues with broken dependencies in the latest rTorrent builds.

@odony , yeah i tried to adapt the lines. I starts compiling but when it's finished there's no Openelec.tv/target folder. maybe it wasnt completly done. What errors did you get?
