Hello there! Welcome to this example project demonstrating how to create LibTorrent bindings for the Dart language. I hope you find it helpful and informative.

Everything started from here dart-lang/native#218

Before diving in, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Ensure libtorrent shared library is installed on your system and recognized by the compiler using the flag -ltorrent-rasterbar.
• If you have libtorrent source files in a custom path, update the wrapper/Makefile accordingly.
• You'll also need to have the Dart SDK installed.

• The wrapper/Makefile contains various useful rules to streamline the development process:

1. debug: Builds a test binary with gdb flag enabled for testing/debugging process.
2. run: Similar to debug, but it also runs the binary after building.
3. build: This rule is responsible for building the wrapper library: libwrapper.so by default.

• To build the wrapper library, execute the following command:

make build

Once you've built the wrapper library, follow these steps to run the example project:

1. Copy the library file libwrapper.so into the Dart project directory.
2. Get dart packages

dart pub get

2. Run the project using the following command:

dart run
