@ -15,39 +15,29 @@ Tox-WeeChat requires [libtoxcore][3] (and WeeChat) to work. After getting them,
$ make
$ make install
This installs the plugin binary `tox.so` in the recommended location `~/.weechat/plugins`. To install the plugin somewhere else, replace the cmake command above with either of these:
- To install to `/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins`: `cmake ..`
- To install to `/usr/lib/weechat/plugins`: `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..`
- To install a custom path: `cmake -DINSTALL_PATH=/some/path ..`
You may also need to `sudo make install`, depending on permissions.
This installs the plugin binary `tox.so` in the recommended location `~/.weechat/plugins`. Omitting the home folder flag installs it to `/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins`. Install anywhere else by setting `INSTALL_PATH`.
Usage
-----
- In WeeChat, load the plugin with `/plugin load tox`. If it fails, try specifying the full path to the binary.
- Create a new identity with `/tox add <name>`.
- The data file is created in `<WeeChat home>/tox/<name>` by default.
- Can be changed with `/set tox.identity.<name>.save_file`.
- Connect your new identity to the Tox network with `/tox connect <name>`.
The following commands must be executed on a Tox buffer:
- To change your name, `/name <new name>`.
- Create a new identity with `/tox add <name>`. The data file is stored in `<WeeChat home>/tox/` by default.
- Connect your identity to the Tox network with `/tox connect <name>`.
- Change your name with `/name <new name>`.
- Get your Tox address with `/myaddress`.
- To add friends or respond to friend requests, `/help friend` will get you started.
- Message a friend with `/msg <friend number>`. Get their friend number with `/friend`.
- Message a friend with `/msg <friend number>`. Get their friend number with `/friend list`.
A list of commands is available with `/help -list tox`.
