- 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')

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.
