[Kget] Compilation problem (libktorrent issue)

[Andras Mantia]

Hi,

 right now kdenetwork trunk fails to compile for me because of kget's 
bittorrent plugin. The problem seems to be that I have linktorrent 
installed from extragear trunk. This is used by kget, but compilation 
fails because some symbols are not present in libktorrent. Eg: 
bt::ChunkSelectorFactoryInterface. As I see kget has a copy (libbtcore), 
but even if I set the cmake files and the include statement to use the
copy, it fails. It still uses the installed libktorrent, because eg. 
there is no "udp" directory in the copy. This mixing of the libs of 
course will result in errors.
 I see that the bittorrent plugin is conditionally included only if 
libktorrent is found. So kget needs to be fixed to either:
1) use libktorrent and only libktorrent, and getting rid of libbtcore
2) use libbtcore, which can be a patched copy of libktorrent (if for 
some reason it needs features not accepted in the main lib), but in that 
case it should use everything from there, so the libbtcore needs to be a 
complete copy of libktorrent + patches. And you need to make sure 
include statements from other file include the headers from the copy and 
not from the installed libktorrent files.

I tried to fix this issue, but I'm not familiar with the code, so I 
rather not mess around with blidnly copying files from here and there 
just to make it compile.
