Can't build Transmission-2.61 [SOLVED]

[fullblaststorm]

Hi everybody,

I'm desperately trying to build Transmission daemon 2.61 on centos linux 6.3 (latest).

Interesting enough, Transmission 2.51 and below compile ok. The problems only occur when building newer versions.

Build error details follow:

*** Making all in libtransmission
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/victor/soft/transmission-2.61/libtransmission'
CCLD blocklist-test
./libtransmission.a(net.o): In function `tr_address_from_string':
/home/victor/soft/transmission-2.61/libtransmission/net.c:114: undefined reference to `evutil_inet_pton'
/home/victor/soft/transmission-2.61/libtransmission/net.c:118: undefined reference to `evutil_inet_pton'
and so on...

I configure sources with this command:
./configure --enable-daemon --without-gtk LIBEVENT_CFLAGS='-I/opt/include' LIBEVENT_LIBS='-L/opt/lib'

My libevent version is 2.0.19.

Could you kindly point me in the right direction for solving this?
Thanks!

LIBEVENT_LIBS='-L/opt/lib'

That part is wrong, LIBS is for libraries, not just paths, you need to set LDFLAGS='-L/opt/lib', or LIBEVENT_LIBS='-L/opt/lib -levent'.
