#Install Instructions

• Installation
  • Linux
  • OS X
    • Homebrew
    • Non-Homebrew
  • Windows

##Installation ###Linux:

Build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake libconfig-dev ncurses-dev checkinstall check git

On Fedora:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install libtool autoconf automake libconfig-devel ncurses-devel check check-devel

Note that libconfig-dev should be >= 1.4.

You should get and install 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
cd ..

Or if checkinstall is not easily available for your distribution (e.g. Fedora), this will install the libs to /usr/local/lib and the headers to /usr/local/include:

git clone git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git
cd libsodium
git checkout tags/0.4.2
./autogen.sh
./configure
make check
sudo make install
cd ..

Then clone this repo and generate makefile:

git clone git://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core.git
cd ProjectTox-Core
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
sudo make install

Advance configure options:

• --prefix=/where/to/install
• --with-libsodium-headers=/path/to/libsodium/include/
• --with-libsodium-libs=/path/to/sodiumtest/lib/
• --enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
• --disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
• --disable-tests build unit tests (default: auto)
• --disable-ntox build nTox client (default: auto)
• --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon build DHT bootstrap daemon (default: auto)
• --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
• --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]

###OS X:

You need the latest XCode with the Developer Tools (Preferences -> Downloads -> Command Line Tools). The following libraries are required along with libsodium and cmake for Mountain Lion and XCode 4.6.3 install libtool, automake and autoconf. You can download them with Homebrew, or install them manually.

There are no binaries/executables going to /bin/ or /usr/bin/ now. Everything is compiled and ran from the inside your local branch. See Usage below. ####Homebrew:

brew install libtool automake autoconf libconfig libsodium check

Then clone this repo and generate makefile:

git clone git://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core.git
cd ProjectTox-Core
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install

Advance configure options:

• --prefix=/where/to/install
• --with-libsodium-headers=/path/to/libsodium/include/
• --with-libsodium-libs=/path/to/sodiumtest/lib/
• --enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
• --disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
• --disable-tests build unit tests (default: auto)
• --disable-ntox build nTox client (default: auto)
• --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon build DHT bootstrap daemon (default: auto)
• --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
• --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]

####Non-homebrew:

Grab the following packages:

• http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
• http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
• http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
• https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium
• http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/
• http://check.sourceforge.net/

Uncompress and install them all. Make sure to follow the README as the instructions change, but they all follow the same pattern below:

./configure
make
sudo make install

In your local TOX repository:

Then generate the makefile:

cd ProjectTox-Core
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install

Advance configure options:

• --prefix=/where/to/install
• --with-libsodium-headers=/path/to/libsodium/include/
• --with-libsodium-libs=/path/to/sodiumtest/lib/
• --enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
• --disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
• --disable-tests build unit tests (default: auto)
• --disable-ntox build nTox client (default: auto)
• --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon build DHT bootstrap daemon (default: auto)
• --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
• --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]

Do not install them from macports (or any dependencies for that matter) as they get shoved in the wrong directory (or the wrong version gets installed) 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

When installing MinGW, make sure to select the MSYS option in the installer. MinGW will install an "MinGW shell" (you should get a shortcut for it), make sure to perform all opeartions (i.e. generating/running configure script, compiling, etc.) from the MinGW shell.

First download the source tarball from http://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/ and build it. Assuming that you got the libsodium-0.4.2.tar.gz release:

tar -zxvf libsodium-0.4.2.tar.gz
cd libsodium-0.4.2
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

You can also use a precompiled win32 binary of libsodium, however you will have to place the files in places where they can be found, i.e. dll's go to /bin headers to /include and libraries to /lib directories in your MinGW shell.

Next, install ProjectTox-Core library, should either clone this repo by using git, or just download a zip of current Master branch and extract it somewhere.

Assuming that you now have the sources in the ProjectTox-Core directory:

cd ProjectTox-Core
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install

Advance configure options:

• --prefix=/where/to/install
• --with-libsodium-headers=/path/to/libsodium/include/
• --with-libsodium-libs=/path/to/sodiumtest/lib/
• --enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
• --disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
• --disable-tests build unit tests (default: auto)
• --disable-ntox build nTox client (default: auto)
• --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon build DHT bootstrap daemon (default: auto)
• --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
• --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]
