Toxic is an ncurses based instant messaging client for [Tox](https://tox.im) which formerly resided in the [Tox core repository](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore) and is now available as a standalone program. It looks like [this](http://i.imgur.com/hL7WhVl.png).

## Installation
### Base dependencies
* libtoxcore
* ncurses (for Debian based systems: libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev)
### Dependencies
##### Base
* [libtoxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore)
* [ncurses](http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses) (for Debian based systems, 'libncurses5-dev' and 'libncursesw5-dev')
### Audio dependencies
* libtoxav
* openal
##### Audio
* libtoxav (libtoxcore compiled with audio support)
* [openal](http://openal.org)
### Compiling
* `cd build/`
* `make`
* `sudo make install DESTDIR="/path/you/like"`
* You can add specific flags to makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and/or `USER_LDFLAGS=""`
* You can pass your own flags to makefile with `CFLAGS=""` and/or `LDFLAGS=""` (this will supersede the defaults one)
* Audio calling support is automatically enabled if all dependencies are found
1. `cd build/`
2. `make`
3. `sudo make install DESTDIR="/where/to/install"`
### Compilation Notes
* You can add specific flags to the Makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and/or `USER_LDFLAGS=""`
* You can pass your own flags to the Makefile with `CFLAGS=""` and/or `LDFLAGS=""` (this will supersede the default ones)
* Audio call support is automatically enabled if all dependencies are found
### Troubleshooting
If your default prefix is "/usr/local" and you get the error:
If your default prefix is "/usr/local" and you receive the following:
```
error while loading shared libraries: libtoxcore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
you can try fix it running `sudo ldconfig`.
If that doesn't fix it, run:
you can attempt to correct it by running `sudo ldconfig`. If that doesn't work, run:
```
echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
sudo ldconfig
```
## Settings
After running Toxic for the first time an empty file called toxic.conf should reside in your home configuration directory ("~/.config/tox" for Linux users). For an example on how to use this config file to save settings such as auto-logging and time format see: [misc/toxic.conf](misc/toxic.conf).
Running Toxic for the first time creates an empty file called toxic.conf in your home configuration directory ("~/.config/tox" for Linux users). Adding options to this file allows you to enable auto-logging, change the time format (12/24 hour), and much more.
You can view our example config file [here](misc/toxic.conf).
