Freetalk 0.5
-------------
Freetalk is a console based Jabber client. It features a readline
interface with completion of buddy names, commands, and even ordinary
English words! Freetalk is extensible, configurable, and scriptable
through a Guile interface.
This is an alpha release, so not everything has been polished. However,
Freetalk works fine for basic usage.
Freetalk is distributed under the GNU General Public License,
version 2 or later --- see the file COPYING for details.
-------------
INSTALLATION
-------------
You'll need Loudmouth 1.0, Guile 1.6, readline, and Glib 2.0 to compile
Freetalk.
Get Loudmouth from http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Loudmouth.
Debian users can just install the package libloudmouth1-dev.
You need to compile Loudmouth with SSL support for Freetalk to work.
For more details refer the Loudmouth README.
To compile Freetalk, do the standard dance:
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
The last command must be run as root. For further details about configure, see
the file 'INSTALL' in this directory.
--------------
USING FREETALK
--------------
To start with you can use Freetalk by just running 'freetalk' and
then doing /login to specify your Jabber account and password. To
avoid having to do this every time, you can put your account details
in a file called ~/.freetalk/freetalk.scm. Look at examples/freetalk.scm
to know how to do this.
There is comprehensive documentation in Info format in the doc/ directory,
which you should be able to read by saying,
$ info -f freetalk.info
------------
MAILING LIST
------------
If you face any problems compiling or using Freetalk, or if you have any feedback/developer
questions, feel free to post a message to <freetalk-dev@nongnu.org>.
