libtorrent-go

Cross-compiled SWIG Go bindings for libtorrent-rasterbar 1.0.8 using Go 1.6.

Supported platforms

• android-arm
• android-x64
• android-x86
• darwin-x64
• linux-arm
• linux-x64
• linux-x86
• windows-x64
• windows-x86

How to use it?

• First, you need a working Go project and Docker

• Download libtorrent-go:

go get github.com/coreos/libtorrent-go

• Build libtorrent-go:

cd $GOPATH/go/src/github.com/coreos/libtorrent-go
make [all | android-arm | darwin-x64 | linux-x86 | linux-x64 | linux-arm | windows-x86 | windows-x64 ]

The cross-compilation is done within Docker containers, which are based on github.com/coreos/cross-compiler and on which the libtorrent-rasterbar and Go are compiled. The container images are pulled from Quay.io. You may also rebuild the images by yourself by running:

make env

Again, this is totally optionnal and depends on your needs. Note that this could take a long-time. You may specify the PLATFORMS variable in order to build a subset of the containers.

• Import libtorrent-go in your Go project:

import "github.com/coreos/libtorrent-go"

Built packages will be placed as $GOPATH/pkg/<platform>/libtorrent-go.a
