compile support

[v6]

Hi! I followed the instructions from https://wiki.tox.im/UTox to the letter, to no avail.

➜  proj git clone https://github.com/notsecure/uTox.git
➜  proj cd uTox
➜  uTox git:(master) gcc -o uTox *.c -lX11 -lXft -lXrender -ltoxcore -ltoxav -ltoxdns -lopenal -pthread -lresolv -ldl -lm -lfontconfig -lv4lconvert -lvpx -I/usr/include/freetype2 -DV4L
In file included from avatar.c:1:0:
main.h:20:21: fatal error: tox/tox.h: No such file or directory
 #include <tox/tox.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.

...

➜  uTox git:(master) uname -a   
Linux yeOldeHosteName 3.16.0-38-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 7 10:51:21 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I get error spam of the same variety, turtles all the way down.

Should the compilation instructions be updated? Am I doing it wrong?

install toxcore

// ,

How, exactly, does one install toxcore?

Does the package just need to be installed? Should its files be in the same directory?

the problem you're having is that toxcore isn't installed on your system. If you install toxcore and then try to run the command make in your git directory. It should compile...

[v6]

Ah. Is that what the repository instructions were for?

Can I just install toxcore from the repository, or do I need to build toxcore from source, as described in the following: https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#most-unix-like-oses

I tried the instructions mentioned earlier for installing the repository for Ubuntu, and this did not allow me to install toxcore: ➜ ~ sudo apt-key del 0C2E03A0 [sudo] password for nathan: OK ➜ ~ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://repo.tox.im/ nightly main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list' ➜ ~ wget -qO - https://repo.tox.im/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - OK ➜ ~ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https Reading package lists...

P.S. How do I re-open the issue?

[GrayHatter]

this is not a utox issue, it's a support request.

You can get live help in #tox on irc.freenode.net or you can wait for @stqism to explain how to add the tox repos to your ubuntu

[v6]

// ,

If toxcore is a build dependency, why isn't it listed in https://wiki.tox.im/UTox?

The tox repos don't have toxcore as a package, and the documentation does not see fit to mention that it is a prerequisite to even attempt to build uTox from source.

If I hadn't tried the channel already, I wouldn't have opened this issue, Hatter.

It looks like the procedure is to first build AND install toxcore from source, manually ensure, by means according to the OS involved, that it is added to the system path, and then attempt to build uTox from source, right?

[v6]

// , I can figure out a pull request, or something. My week's free, man.

@v6 I'm ideling in that channel, highlight me and Ill get your build enviroment working
