Toxic - console client for Tox

The client formerly resided in the Tox core repository and is now available as a standalone program. It looks like this.

To compile, first generate the configure script by running the autoreconf -i command.

Then execute the configure script with ./configure (you may need to pass it the location of your dependency libraries, i.e.):

./configure --prefix=/where/to/install --with-libtoxcore-headers=/path/to/ProjectTox-Core/core --with-libtoxcore-libs=/path/to/ProjectTox-Core/build/core --with-libsodium-headers=/path/to/libsodium/include/ --with-libsodium-libs=/path/to/sodiumtest/lib/

Note: If your default prefix is /usr/local and you happen to get an error that says "error while loading shared libraries: libtoxcore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", then you can try running sudo ldconfig. If that doesn't fix it, run:

echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
sudo ldconfig

If you dont already have them, you might want to install the ncurses libraries, on Debian:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
