## About
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:
* A native Mac OS X GUI application
* GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
* A headless daemon for servers and routers
* A web UI for remote controlling any of the above

## Building
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode.
For a more detailed description, and dependencies, visit: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/wiki
### Building a Transmission release from the command line
$ xz -d -c transmission-2.11.tar.xz | tar xf -
$ cd transmission-2.11
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
### Building Transmission from the nightly builds
Download a tarball from https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux-inc/ and follow the steps from the previous section.
If you're new to building programs from source code, this is typically easier than building from SVN.
### Building Transmission from SVN (first time)
$ svn co svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission/trunk Transmission
$ cd Transmission
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
### Building Transmission from SVN (updating)
$ cd Transmission
$ make clean
$ svn up
$ ./update-version-h.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
Notes for building on Solaris' C compiler: User av reports success with this invocation:
./configure CC=c99 CXX=CC CFLAGS='-D__EXTENSIONS__ -mt'
