Does Toxygen work with c-toxcore?

Hi,

I found out about Toxygen just recently while contributing to the Tox wiki. It is impressive how many features Toxygen seems to support despite being of the lesser-known clients, and that the project managed to stay alive until now. I think it should be more well-known and supported for this reason.

I wanted to test Toxygen so I could make some updated screenshots and an installation guide to add to the wiki. So I installed all the dependencies (python-pyqt5, pyaudio, numpy, opencv, and portaudio19-dev), cloned the source code, compiled the latest version of c-toxcore from https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore, and tried to run Toxygen using python3 main.py.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/toxygen/toxygen/libtox.py", line 54, in __init__
    self._lib_tox_encrypt_save = CDLL('libtoxencryptsave.so')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 356, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libtoxencryptsave.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked in /usr/local/lib and there is indeed no libtoxencryptsave.so, but /usr/local/include/tox/ has toxencryptsave.h.

So, since I just wanted to test Toxygen, I tried to disable all the code related to ToxES. But now Toxygen didn't start because of missing ToxAV:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/toxygen/toxygen/libtox.py", line 35, in __init__
    self._libtoxav = CDLL('libtoxav.so')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 356, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libtoxav.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I tried to disable ToxAV as well. After that, the profile creation window of Toxygen started, but still failed while creating the profile: name 'ToxES' is not defined

I did not read through the code that much, but I guess ToxES is needed in some way.

So I tried the prealpha version instead (v0.5.0). With the latest version of Toxcore, that needed no changes to the code and started normally. I created the profile and continued, but as soon as it is loaded:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    group_numbers = range(self._tox.group_get_number_groups())

    result = Tox.libtoxcore.tox_group_get_number_groups(self._tox_pointer)

    func = self.__getitem__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 374, in __getitem__
    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/local/lib/libtoxcore.so: undefined symbol: tox_group_get_number_groups

I would try the releases but they are not signed and seem very big. Why 123 MB? Speaking of signing, do you have a GPG key you could sign commits and releases with? I would add its fingerprint to the installation guide.

Hopefully in the future we could get pre-built packages like qTox and uTox.
