It can use protocols through native add-ons as well as through libpurple,
the library used by [Pidgin](https://pidgin.im/).

Protocols natively supported include IRC and XMPP.
Protocols generally supported through libpurple include GroupWise, Zephyr, and
[others through plugins](https://pidgin.im/plugins/?type=Protocol).

## Building
2021-06-22 01:06:00 -05:00
You can make Cardie and its protocols with:
2021-06-08 10:25:50 -05:00
2021-06-07 11:57:49 -05:00
`$ make`
2021-06-08 10:25:50 -05:00
2021-07-07 15:08:41 -05:00
Or one-by-one:
2021-06-30 14:30:04 -05:00
`$ make libs; make app; make protocols`
2021-06-22 01:06:00 -05:00
Cardie itself requires the `expat_devel` package, the XMPP protocol requires
2021-07-11 15:30:34 -05:00
`gloox_devel`, and the libpurple add-on requires `libpurple_devel` and
`glib2_devel`― though it's worth noting that libpurple doesn't work on x86_gcc2.
