Additional information
Have you compiled or tried to compile the package on device?

• I'm having trouble getting the build environment container running on my MacBook and have not been able to try building this.

"on device" means in Termux btw.

Any progress?

Yes. This lib has libboost as dependence, so first step is to install it. Then run the usual cmake, make, make install:

$ pkg install boost
$ git clone https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent.git
$ mkdir libtorrent/build
$ cd libtorrent/build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr ..
$ make -j8
$ make install

Bear in mind that cmake doesn't generate a uninstall target in the Makefile by default, so to eventually uninstall it you should use the generated install_manifest.txt by running xargs rm < install_manifest.txt instead of make uninstall
