How to build Deluge and dependencies 100% from source:

• All info is for a 64-bit build but instructions should be very similar and scripts need very little editing to make 32-bit instead.

• You need to have installed:

  • Visual Studio 2017
  • Python
  • nasm
  • ActivePerl
  • Msys64

• Download the following .zip files :

  • boost
  • openssl
  • gvsbuild
  • Libtorrent
  • Deluge

  and extract each of these archives to a seperate folder in C:\ and the openssl master.zip to C:\OpenSSL and the gvsbuild master.zip to C:\gtk-build\github .

• Make sure the following are in your PATH environment variable:

  C:\Perl64\site\bin
  C:\Perl64\bin
  C:\Python\Python37
  C:\Python\Python37\Scripts
  C:\gtk-build\gtk\x64\release\bin
  C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin
  

• Now run the following batch files in the given order:

  BuildB2.bat(Only needed for first build or fresh build)
  
  OpenSSLBuild.bat
  
  LibtorrentBuild.bat
  
  GTK3Build.bat
  
  DelugeBuild.bat
  

• Finally you may run deluge.exe via cmd/powershell, or create a shortcut from C:\Python\Python37\Scripts .
