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.
Project is still fresh and immature. Please expect bugs and continuous code changes. However it allows communication.
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 .
After cloning from git and installing all dependences:
./bootstrap.sh
./configure.sh [options]
make
make install
In terminal run:
$ xmppconsole
and just follow the instructions.
