Help installing/configuring Lftp

[Skrumpy]

Hey folks,

 

Looking for someone to help me get Lftp installed on my Unraid 6.0.1 box. I downloaded it and extracted it and tried running ./configure --with-openssl --without-gnutls --with-debug and got the following:

 

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking whether make supports nested variables... no
checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/usr/local/bin/lftp-4.6.3a':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details

 

In searching the config error it is telling me that GCC isn't installed (I didn't want to go fiddling with extra installs without asking around). I am obviously pretty new at this and could use some help as to how to get Lftp installed in unraid (have spent quite some time searching to no avail). From reading around it sounds like SSL has to be configured and there are a bunch of dependencies. My ultimate goal is to have this script working on my box to automatically download files from my seedbox to my NAS.

 

Thanks in advance!

I believe lftp is part of the NerdPack plug-in. Install the plug-in (enter https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eschultz/unraid6-nerdpack/master/NerdPack.plg in the GUI plug-in page), and you should be good to go.

 

Good luck getting your seedbox sync going. I'm interested in doing something similar.

I went ahead and installed the script you pointed to. It works extremely well.

 

You'll want to probably play with the value of "set mirror:use-pget-n". For me, a setting of 8 maximized downloads. Also, you may want to put single quote marks around the parameters you set at the top, particularly for each of the directory values.
