# Toxic [](https://travis-ci.org/Tox/toxic)
|
|
Toxic is a [Tox](https://tox.im)-based instant messenging client which formerly resided in the [Tox core repository](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore), and is now available as a standalone application.
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
##### Base
|
|
* [libtoxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore)
|
|
* [ncurses](https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses) (for Debian based systems, 'libncursesw5-dev')
|
|
|
|
##### Audio
|
|
* libtoxav (libtoxcore compiled with audio support)
|
|
* [openal](http://openal.org)
|
|
|
|
### Compiling
|
|
1. `cd build/`
|
|
2. `make PREFIX="/where/to/install"`
|
|
3. `sudo make install PREFIX="/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
|
|
* If you want to build toxic without audio call support, you can use `make DISABLE_AV=1`
|
|
|
|
### Packaging
|
|
* For packaging purpose, you can use `DESTDIR=""` to specify a directory where to store installed files
|
|
* `DESTDIR=""` can be used in addition to `PREFIX=""`:
|
|
* `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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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](misc/toxic.conf.example).
