| 1 | Basic Installation of Licq daemon |
|---|
| 2 | ================================= |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | Licq installation consists of two main steps: |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | 1. Install the Licq daemon |
|---|
| 7 | 2. Install one or more plugins |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | Requirements for the daemon: |
|---|
| 11 | - A C++ compiler and libstc++-devel |
|---|
| 12 | - GNU make |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | Optional it may be helpful to have these: |
|---|
| 15 | - OpenSSL (for encrypted connections, please read README.OPENSSL) |
|---|
| 16 | - SOCKS libraries (for SOCKS5 support) |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | These are the installation instructions: |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | If there is no "configure" script or you downloaded sources from |
|---|
| 22 | CVS then use `make -f Makefile.cvs' to create your configure script. |
|---|
| 23 | You will need autoconf and automake for this to work: |
|---|
| 24 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/ |
|---|
| 25 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/ |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | 1. `cd' to the directory where you unpacked Licq sources and type |
|---|
| 28 | `./configure' to configure the package for your system. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some |
|---|
| 31 | messages telling which features it is checking for. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | If you are curious as to what possible configurable options, see |
|---|
| 34 | `./configure --help' for a list of all possible options. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | 2. Type `make' to compile the package. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | 3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and |
|---|
| 39 | documentation. You have to be 'root' for this to work. Per default |
|---|
| 40 | files are installed in /usr/local/* if you have not defined a different |
|---|
| 41 | --prefix=/some/directory. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | 4. `cd plugins' to the plugins directory and install a plugin of your choice. |
|---|
| 44 | Read the included INSTALL and README files to learn how to do this. |
|---|
| 45 | You need at least _one_ plugin; without a plugin Licq will not |
|---|
| 46 | work! |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | USING LICQ |
|---|
| 50 | ========== |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | For information on how to use Licq please have a look into the doc/ directory |
|---|
| 53 | and read the README file and the others. They include very much useful |
|---|
| 54 | information. |
