The first two subprojects should work fine:Ĭd ~/development/RetroShare-v0.5.4b/trunk/Ĭd libbitdht/src & qmake & make clean & make -j2Ĭd. Then you need to compile the projects in the subdirectories, but there are still some modifications necessary to make it work under Debian.

It is a bit outdated because they've removed gnupg and introduced openpgp, but didn't update their instructions. Required packagesMy primary source for instructions is the RetroShare wiki page UnixCompile of today's version. In case that information changes on the Raspi website, I'll duplicate the links and information here, so we're all on the same page:Ĭreate a directory development in your home directory, cd there, download the sources and unpack them. I'm starting with my Raspberry Pi (Model B) with a sufficiently large SD card (4 GB should be enough) and a freshly installed Raspbian Wheezy (build ), which I've updated today (15th October) doing apt-get update & apt-get upgrade, and haven't modified so far besides putting my dotfiles under revision control using git. What we need to get started Raspberry Pi and Raspbian Wheezy I didn't write down exact times, but it's probably best if you have some other tasks to attend to for 2 hours while one subproject is compiling. With the recent release of 0.5.4 I thought I could give it a try again.īe warned: The compiling alone takes a few hours. I've already managed to compile RetroShare 0.5.3 on and for my Raspi, but it segfaulted whenever I wanted to add a friend or open the settings menu. (I think he wants to go for Parallella now.

Fabian is still pissed that my Raspi arrived sooner than his, that is it arrived at all, although I ordered it much later. When I heard about the Raspberry Pi, the geek inside me wanted to have one. Maybe I'll make an article about the pros and cons of RetroShare, but in this article I want to describe my attempts to get it running on my Raspberry Pi, so it can serve as a 24/7 node in the RetroShare network to forward connections without consuming that much power. I've already tried WASTE, GnuNet and AllianceP2P, and they couldn't convince me for long. RetroShare is a decentralized sharing application/network that is, in my opinion, the best darknet software available right now. I don't want this to turn into a political discussion - it is a "tech" blog - so it should be sufficient to say that I like and use RetroShare. It is if you are paranoid enough.I'm a fan of darknets.
