event-config.h

[biohead]

I'm still very much a complete learner when it comes to linux. I've currently been able to get my pogo plug up and running apache, php and mysql to get torrentflux working however. Compared to running Transmission-Cli though, the download speeds are awful. And unless there are a vast amount of seeders, torrentflux pretty much refuses to download at all. Those of you who've tried TF know you can set which download client to use (default is BitTornado), and Transmission is an option. To use transmission with TF though requires it to be rebuilt to get certain features. Which I've never tried at all before. I've tried to search google (funnily enough the first posts also relate to TF) but the solutions all seem to be for ubuntu.

What I've done:
installed base-devel packages
Download the transmission 2.12 tar and unpacked it to my home directory.
Replaced the cli.c and transmission.h files as requested to get the necessary features for TF
cd'd into the transmission directory
Ran ./configure --enable-cli --enable-daemon
It fails to configure, the error being:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'checking event-config.h usability... no
checking event-config.h presence... no
checking for event-config.h... no
configure: error: event-config.h not found!')

The ubuntu fixes require you to install libevent-dev, which I can't find the equivalent for arch. I'm looking for help on how to proceed, or if I've done something wrong right from the beginning (unpack to wrong location?).

And I know I shouldn't run as root but it's still a test environment for now.

pacman -S libevent
supplies libevent-dev, it ends up in /usr/include/event2/event-config.h

[biohead]

I've got that installed, and I do have the file there

Does it have to be in a different location?

[pepedog]

What happens if you don't replace cli.c and transmission.h files ?
You could try this option in configure
--LIBEVENT_LIBS=/usr/include/event2

Personally I use transmission with flexget

Its was related to needing libevent 1.4.11, rather than 2.0. Newer versions of transmission use 2.0, but this version I was trying to build needed something specific from 1.4.11. So I had to try and install that.

Incase anyone needs this information (Found it on the TFNG forums) :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.11-stable.tar.gz
tar zxf libevent-1.4.11-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.11-stable
./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/libevent1.4.11/
make install
')

Extract transmission 2.12, but for the ./configure step do
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
./configure --enable-cli --enable-daemon LIBEVENT_CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/libevent1.4.11/include/" LIBEVENT_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/libevent1.4.11/lib/ -levent"
')

Although I also have transmission installed too... and my torrent downloads are a lot better that way. Low seeded torrents won't download using TF (maybe a fault in my setup?) but transmission they fly. I just like the idea of TF as I can let other people use it too as a lot of my friends have very nasty caps.
