Installation

Linux

Follow ProjectTox-Core installation instructions. Don't forget to install it after building it.

Dependencies

Additionally to the tox build dependencies, you will need:

Package name Version
valac >= 0.18.1
cmake >=2.8.7
libgtk-3-dev >=3.4
libjson-glib-dev >=0.14
libsqlite3-dev >=3.7

Ubuntu >= 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) / Linux Mint / Debian:

apt-get install valac cmake libgtk-3-dev libjson-glib-dev libsqlite3-dev

Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin): (needs a ppa to get a newer version of valac as well as djbdns for dns resolution)

apt-add-repository ppa:vala-team/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install valac cmake libgtk-3-dev libjson-glib-dev libsqlite3-dev

Fedora:

yum install vala cmake gtk3-devel json-glib-devel sqlite-devel

Arch Linux: (There is an aur-package)

pacman -S vala cmake gtk3 json-glib sqlite

Building and installing Venom

If your version of glib is smaller than 2.34, you will need djbdns to resolve dns entries:

wget http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/djbdns-1.05.tar.gz
tar -xzf djbdns-1.05.tar.gz
cd djbdns-1.05
echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc
make

After you installed the dependencies, clone, build and install venom:

git clone git://github.com/naxuroqa/Venom.git
cd Venom
mkdir build
cd build
# For glib >= 2.34
cmake ..
# or for glib 2.32
cmake -DDJBDNS_DIRECTORY="<path-to-djbdns>" ..
make
sudo make install

OS X

Follow ProjectTox-Core installation instructions.

With Homebrew

brew tap Tox/tox
brew install --HEAD libtoxcore
brew install --HEAD venom

Windows

The preferred way is to cross compile windows binaries from linux using the mingw-w64 toolchain.

Cross compile (mingw-w64)

###Dependencies

  • Set up a mingw-w64 toolchain
  • build ffmpeg (optionally for now)
  • build libsodium
  • build libtoxcore
  • build gtk+-3.x
  • build libjson-glib
  • build libsqlite3

There is an aur-package for arch linux, which automates the build process.

###Compiling Venom

git clone git://github.com/naxuroqa/Venom.git
cd Venom
mkdir build
cd build
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/<yourcrosscompilerprefix>/lib/pkgconfig
# you may have to adapt the mingw-toolchain.cmake file for your cross compiler prefix
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-mwindows" \
      -DCOMPILER_PREFIX=<yourcrosscompilerprefix> \
      -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/mingw-toolchain.cmake \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ..
make
sudo make install

FAQ

Cmake complaining about missing modules

If you are getting errors like these when running cmake

-- checking for module '<some_module>'
--   package '<some_module>' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:279 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:333 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:30 (PKG_CHECK_MODULES)

then cmake can't find one or more dependencies needed to build Venom.

Make sure, that you have all dependencies mentioned above installed. If you used a different prefix than /usr to install libtoxcore, you will need to tell it cmake here. You do this by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/<your_prefix>/lib/pkgconfig and running cmake again.
