Introduction

xmppconsole goal is to be raw and simple, but very handy XMPP client for Unix command-line.

Readline library is used in a neat way to server asynchronous display (see ./src/io.c). It looks very nice, really -- clean and simple.

Libstrophe library is used to handle XMPP communication.

Status

Project is still fresh and immature. Please expect bugs and continuous code changes. However it allows communication.

Building

Dependences

xmppconsole requires:

• readline (bundled with a system)
• libstrophe

readline is so common that all *nix distributions provide it in standard installation. Libstrophe is a C library that can be downloaded from: http://code.stanziq.com/strophe/ . If you have any problems with it you may try to use my libstrophe fork: http://github.com/dpc/libstrophe .

Compilation

After cloning from git and installing all dependences:

./bootstrap.sh
./configure.sh [options]
make
make install

Running

In terminal run:

$ xmppconsole

and just follow the instructions.
