You can omit libnotify if you intend to build without desktop notifications enabled.

## Compiling ``` make PREFIX="/where/to/install" sudo make install PREFIX="/where/to/install" ``` #### Documentation Run `make doc` in the build directory after editing the asciidoc files to regenerate the manpages.
**NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS**: asciidoc files and generated manpages will need to be commited together.
**NOTE FOR EVERYONE**: [asciidoc](http://asciidoc.org/index.html) (and this step) is only required for regenerating manpages when you modify them. ## Notes #### Compilation variables * 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) * Additional features are automatically enabled if all dependencies are found, but you can disable them by using special variables: * `DISABLE_X11=1` → build toxic without X11 support (needed for focus tracking) * `DISABLE_AV=1` → build toxic without audio call support * `DISABLE_SOUND_NOTIFY=1` → build toxic without sound notifications support * `DISABLE_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 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")
