Basic Installation of Licq daemon
=================================
Licq installation consists of two main steps:
1. Install the Licq daemon
2. Install one or more plugins
Requirements for the daemon:
- A C++ compiler and libstc++-devel
- GNU make
Optional it may be helpful to have these:
- OpenSSL (for encrypted connections, please read README.OPENSSL)
- SOCKS libraries (for SOCKS5 support)
These are the installation instructions:
If there is no "configure" script or you downloaded sources from
CVS then use `make -f Makefile.cvs' to create your configure script.
You will need autoconf and automake for this to work:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/
1. `cd' to the directory where you unpacked Licq sources and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
If you are curious as to what possible configurable options, see
`./configure --help' for a list of all possible options.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation. You have to be 'root' for this to work. Per default
files are installed in /usr/local/* if you have not defined a different
--prefix=/some/directory.
4. `cd plugins' to the plugins directory and install a plugin of your choice.
Read the included INSTALL and README files to learn how to do this.
You need at least _one_ plugin; without a plugin Licq will not
work!
