Install Instructions ==================== Linux --------- First, install the build dependencies :: sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake libconfig-dev ncurses-dev cmake checkinstall .. note :: ``libconfig-dev`` should be >= 1.4. Then you'll need a recent version of `libsodium `_ :: git clone git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git cd libsodium git checkout tags/0.4.2 ./autogen.sh ./configure && make check sudo checkinstall --install --pkgname libsodium --pkgversion 0.4.2 --nodoc sudo ldconfig`` Finally, fetch the Tox source code and run cmake :: git clone git://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core.git cd ProjectTox-Core && mkdir build && cd build cmake .. Then you can build any of the files in `/testing`_ and `/other`_ that are currently supported on your platform by running :: make name_of_c_file For example, to build `Messenger_test.c`_ you would run :: make Messenger_test Or you could just build everything that is supported on your platform by running :: bash make OS X ------ Homebrew ~~~~~~~~~~ :: brew install libtool automake autoconf libconfig libsodium cmake cmake . make sudo make install Non-homebrew ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Much the same as Linux, remember to install the latest XCode and the developer tools (Preferences -> Downloads -> Command Line Tools). Users running Mountain Lion and the latest version of XCode (4.6.3) will also need to install libtool, automake and autoconf. They are easy enough to install, grab them from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/, http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/, then follow these steps for each: :: ./configure make sudo make install Do not install them from macports (or any dependencies for that matter) as they get shoved in the wrong directory and make your life more annoying. Another thing you may want to install is the latest gcc, this caused me a few problems as XCode from 4.3 no longer includes gcc and instead uses LLVM-GCC, a nice install guide can be found at http://caiustheory.com/install-gcc-421-apple-build-56663-with-xcode-42 Windows --------- You should install: * `MinGW `_'s C compiler * `CMake `_ You have to `modify your PATH environment variable `_ so that it contains MinGW's bin folder path. With default settings, the bin folder is located at ``C:\MinGW\bin``, which means that you would have to append ``;C:\MinGW\bin`` to the PATH variable. Then you should either clone this repo by using git, or just download a `zip of current Master branch `_ and extract it somewhere. After that you should get precompiled package of libsodium from `here `_ and extract the archive into this repo's root. That is, ``sodium`` folder should be along with ``core``, ``testing`` and other folders. Navigate in ``cmd`` to this repo and run:: mkdir build && cd build cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. Then you can build any of the `/testing`_ and `/other`_ that are currently supported on your platform by running:: mingw32-make name_of_c_file For example, to build `Messenger_test.c`_ you would run:: mingw32-make Messenger_test`` Or you could just build everything that is supported on your platform by running:: mingw32-make .. _/testing: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/tree/master/testing .. _/other: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/tree/master/other .. _Messenger_test.c: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/tree/master/other/Messanger_test.c
