Installing Licq on Debian

Licq is available in all Debian distributions (stable, testing and unstable). The specific version varies between distributions; see the Debian package search page for up-to-date version information.

To install licq, run:

root:~# apt-get install licq

This will install Licq and the Qt-plugin. If you instead wish to use the KDE-plugin, run this instead of the above:

root:~# apt-get install licq-plugin-kde

To see all available plugins, run:

user:$ apt-cache search licq

Development version

To use the development version of Licq, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://eddie.ejohansson.se/debian/ sid main

and then follow the instructions above. Rememeber that this is a development version, so don't install it unless you know what you are doing. Report any errors with the packages to ErikJohansson, not on http://bugs.debian.org/. Problems with Licq itself should be reported on http://trac.licq.org/ as usual. Please install licq-dbg to get a useful backtrace.

Source

The script used to create the tarball that the development version is built from and the debian directory is available online in case you'd like to build your own package.

If you just want to rebuild the package for your architecture, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb-src http://eddie.ejohansson.se/debian/ sid main

and then

root:~# apt-get install fakeroot
root:~# apt-get build-dep licq
user:~$ fakeroot apt-get -b source licq
root:~# dpkg -i licq_*.deb licq-plugin-kde_*.deb
