Tox: A FOSS Skype Replacement project

[Venn Stone]

Looks like something Linux could really use. http://tox.im/#4

Har simple script for building on Debain systems. Rename to wtfever.sh

apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake libconfig-dev ncurses-dev cmake checkinstall git
git clone [url=git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git]git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git[/url]
cd libsodium
git checkout tags/0.4.2
./autogen.sh
./configure && make check
sudo checkinstall –install –pkgname libsodium –pkgversion 0.4.2 –nodoc
sudo ldconfig
cd ../
git clone https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core.git
cd ./ProjectTox-Core
cmake .
cd ./testing
make nTox

Update: Well, it “works” but even with the GUI (https://github.com/nurupo/ProjectTox-Qt-GUI) it’s a bit shit for a Skype replacement at this time.

Looking at the screenshot above and the screenshot at ProjectTox-Qt-GUI. If one is on Windows and another is on Linux….what happen? It is like the difference between Skype on Windows and the old Skype for Linux. They look completely different.
