For now this just prints messages to stderr, so the user should manually redirect stderr to avoid breaking the ui. This can be later expanded upon to provide debugging messages in the command window. Signed-off-by: Loui Chang <louipc.ist@gmail.com> |

Installation
Dependencies
Base
- libtoxcore
- ncurses (for Debian based systems, 'libncursesw5-dev')
- libconfig (for Debian based systems, 'libconfig-dev')
Audio
- libtoxav (libtoxcore compiled with audio support)
- openal (for Debian based systems, 'libopenal-dev')
Sound notifications
- openal (for Debian based systems, 'libopenal-dev')
- openalut (for Debian based systems, 'libalut-dev')
Desktop notifications
- libnotify (for Debian based systems, 'libnotify-dev')
Compiling
cd build/
make PREFIX="/where/to/install"
sudo make install PREFIX="/where/to/install"
Compilation Notes
- You can add specific flags to the Makefile with
USER_CFLAGS=""
and/orUSER_LDFLAGS=""
- You can pass your own flags to the Makefile with
CFLAGS=""
and/orLDFLAGS=""
(this will supersede the default ones) - Additional features are automatically enabled if all dependencies are found, but you can disable them by using special variables:
DISABLE_AV=1
→ build toxic without audio call supportDISABLE_SOUND_NOTIFY=1
→ build toxic without sound notifications supportDISABLE_DESKTOP_NOTIFY=1
→ build toxic without desktop notifications support
Packaging
- For packaging purpose, you can use
DESTDIR=""
to specify a directory where to store installed files DESTDIR=""
can be used in addition toPREFIX=""
:DESTDIR=""
is meant to specify a directory where to store installed files (ex: "/tmp/build/pkg")PREFIX=""
is meant to specify a prefix directory for binaries and data files (ex: "/usr/local")
Troubleshooting
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 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
Precompiled binaries
You can download precompiled binaries from jenkins:
Settings
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.
