toxgui
For-fun Tox client that tries to follow the Tox UI mockup while running on all major systems.
This GUI uses code from @nurupo's ProjectTox-Qt-GUI, in particular the "Core" Toxcore wrapper.
However, it is not a fork.
Features
- One to one chat with friends
- Group chats
- File transfers, with previewing of images
- Audio calls
- Video calls
- Tox DNS
Requirements
This client will run on Windows, Linux and Mac natively, but binairies are only be provided for Windows at the moment.
Linux and Mac users will have to compile the source code themselves.
Windows download
Linux download (1st July 2014 01:30 GMT)
Note that the Linux download has not been tested.
OSX Install Guide
This guide is intended for people who wish to use an existing or new ProjectTox-Core installation separate to the bundled installation with toxgui, if you do not wish to use a separate installation you can skip to the section titled 'Final Steps'.
Installation on OSX, isn't quite straight forward, here is a quick guide on how to install;
The first thing you need to do is install ProjectTox-Core with a/v support. Refer to the INSTALL guide in the ProjectTox-Core github repo.
Next you need to download QtTools (http://qt-project.org/downloads), at the time of writing this is at version 5.3.0. Make sure you deselect all the unnecessary components from the 5.3 checkbox (iOS/Android libs) otherwise you will end up with a very large download.
Once that is installed you will most likely need to set the path for qmake. To do this, open up terminal and paste in the following;
export PATH=/location/to/qmake/binary:$PATH
For myself, the qmake binary was located in /Users/mouseym/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/.
Once this is installed, do the following;
git clone https://github.com/tux3/toxgui
cd toxgui
qmake
Do not run make, as we need further modifications to toxgui.
Open up the Makefile in a text editor (TextEdit/TextWrangler, etc).
You will need to modify the Makefile to point to your toxcore libs/includes.
The first change you will need to make is to point the Makefile towards the tox libs installed on your system. (Generally this is /usr/local/libs/).
Look for the line in the Makefile which references /toxgui/lib/libs/ and replace with the above).
The second change to Makefile is to add the location of the includes (On my system these were placed in /usr/local/include/tox/).
To do this, search for the INCLUDES line and add the following to the end;
-I/usr/local/include/tox/
Save the Makefile.
Final Steps
Open up TextEdit/TextWrangler/etc and open up the widget/filetransfertwidget.cpp file and add the following include;
#include <math.h>
This will stop toxgui failing to make under OSX.
The final step is to run
make
in the toxgui directory, or if you are using the bundled tox core installation, you can use
./bootstrap.sh
Assuming all went well you should now have a toxgui.app file within the directory. Double click and it should open!
