Python's default SSL is insecure, so this package is highly recommended!</li> <li>python3-pyasn1 to check SSL/TLS certificate</li> <li>python3-crypto to enable End to end encryption</li> <li>python3-gnupg to enable GPG encryption</li> <li>For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi</li> <li>dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support</li> <li>gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc</li> <li>gir1.2-secret-1 for GNOME Keyring or KDE support as password storage</li> <li>gir1.2-notify-0.7 to get cooler popups</li> <li>D-Bus running to have gajim-remote working. Some distributions split dbus-x11, which is needed for dbus to work with Gajim. Version >= 0.80 is required.</li> <li>python3-dbus bindings (>=1.2.0)</li> <li>gir1.2-farstream-0.2, gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 and gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 for audio and video calls</li> <li>gir1.2-gupnpigd-1.0 for better NAT traversing</li> <li>gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 for network lose detection</li> <li>python3-idna and python3-precis-i18n for correctly parsing JIDs</li> </ul> <p>Some distributions also split too much python standard library. I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.</p> <h2>Compile-time Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>intltool (>= 0.40.1)</li> <li>pkg-config</li> <li>libtool</li> </ul> <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.</p> <h2>Installation Procedure</h2> <ol> <li>tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2</li> <li>cd gajim</li> <li>./configure</li> <li>make (builds translations)</li> <li>su -c make install</li> </ol> <p>To specify where to install do:</p> <pre> ./configure --prefix=custom_path </pre> <h2>Running Gajim</h2> <p>Just do <em>gajim</em> or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/Xfce/KDE/whatever menus.<br/><br/> or if you use Git version and you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with<em>./launch.py</em></p> <hr /> <h3>Note for Git users</h3> <p>You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from Git. This includes:</p> <ul> <li>automake >= 1.8 </li> <li>autoconf >= 2.59 </li> <li>libtool</li> <li>intltool-0.40.1 </li> <li>pkgconfig >= 0.19</li> </ul> <p>steps to compile gajim:</p> <pre> $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make </pre> <p>Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from <a href="http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/">here</a> and procede as usual:</p> <pre> $ ./configure $ make </pre> <h2>Uninstallation Procedure</h2> <pre> su -c make uninstall </pre> <p>this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories. If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as: </p> <pre> ./configure --prefix=custom_path make uninstall </pre> <h2>Miscellaneous</h2> <h3>XML & Debugging</h3> <p>If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window. If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose everytime you want to have verbose output.</p> <h3>FAQ/Wiki</h3> <p>FAQ can be found at <a href="https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/wikis/help/gajimfaq">https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/wikis/help/gajimfaq</a><br/> Wiki can be found at <a href="https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/wikis/home">https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/wikis/home</a></p> <p>That is all, <strong>enjoy!</strong></p> <p> <br/> <br/> <br/> (C) 2003-2017<br/> The Gajim Team<br/> https://gajim.org<br/> <br/> <br/> PS.
