#  Chat-O-Matic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chat-O-Matic is a multi-protocol chat program based on [Caya](https://github.com/Augustolo/Caya).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
You can make Chat-O-Matic and its protocols with:
|
|
|
|
`$ make`
|
|
|
|
Or one-by-one:
|
|
|
|
`$ make libs; make app; make protocols`
|
|
|
|
Chat-O-Matic itself requires the `expat_devel` package, the XMPP protocol requires
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
Protocol add-ons can be installed in any add-ons directory under `chat-o-matic`
|
|
(i.e., `~/config/non-packaged/add-ons/chat-o-matic/`) or in the binary's CWD
|
|
(`./chat-o-matic/`).
|
|
|
|
libpurple plugins can be installed to any lib directory under `purple-2`
|
|
(i.e., `~/config/non-packaged/lib/purple-2/`).
|
|
