HOWTO

# Licq
# ====
# When 1.2.7 was the latest stable version and I tried to build it with
# gcc 3.4.x, I went through a whole mess of trial and error between
# gcc 3.4-isms and apparent problems with the version of gpgme that I had
# installed.  I ended up able to build the CVS version or the daily snapshot
# (which was 5 days old) using --disable-gpgme.  This is why I have the
# latest stable version, the daily snapshot, and CVS below.  I may remove
# all but the latest stable next time.
#
# The last time I updated this howto, I installed the 1.3.2 version with gcc
# 3.4.4 and gpgme 1.1.0

# Prerequisites:
# autoconf and automake (if you use the CVS version)
# gawk
# grep
# socks (optional; pass --enable-socks5 to configure to use it)
# gpgme
# openssl (optional)
# iconv
# gettext
# XFree86 or X.org
# Qt
# KDE (required by the qt-gui plugin if you pass --with-kde to it's configure)

# Create directories for the icons, skins, tarball, and source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/installed/licq/icons ~/installed/licq/skins ~/src

# Licq 1.3.2
# ==========
# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# grep
# socks (optional; Pass --enable-socks5 to configure to use it)
# gpgme >= 0.4.2
# openssl (optional)
# iconv
# gettext
