How to compile

1. Download and install MS Visual Studio.

2. Create a workspace folder where all of the development libs and code will be built. In this tutorial, I have chosen, D:\gtorrent\ . I will refer to this folder as GTROOT. Just replace GTROOT with the workspace location.

3. Extract boost-build, Boost and libtorrent-rasterbar to GTROOT.

4. Go to Start -> Visual Studio 2013 -> Visual Studio Tools -> VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt. This will open up the command prompt.

5. Using command prompt, go (cd) to GTROOT\boost-build.

6. Execute bootstrap.bat.

7. Execute "set PATH=GTROOT\boost-build;%PATH%"

8. Now, go (cd) to libtorrent-rasterbar folder (GTROOT\libtorrent-rasterbar-1.0.1)

9. Execute "set BOOST_ROOT=GTROOT\boost_[version]" (eg. GTROOT\boost_1_55_0)

10. Execute "b2 -j8 variant=debug,release link=static runtime-link=shared address-model=64 boost=source dht=on geoip=static asserts=off logging=none optimization=space invariant-checks=off deprecated-functions=off statistics=off"
