Installation

Dependencies

Base
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')
Documentation
  • Asciidoc (only required for regenerating manpages)
    • 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.

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)
  • 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")

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.
