Licq installation and use guide (1)

1. Licq Introduction
Licq is a Linux clone of ICQ. It is developed using c/c ++ In the Qt toolkit. The authors are Mattlas Eriksson and Per Lejontand. It inherits all important features of ICQ, such as message sending and receiving, URL links, chat rooms, file transmission, and white pages of personal information. Other configurable options of Licq are also rich, and skin, plug-in, icon, and so on are supported.
Ii. System Requirements for Licq installation and operation (using licq 0.81 as an example)
1. POSIXpthreads ). Most systems support pthreads, but some FreeBSD versions do not. Therefore, you must install pthreads separately;
2. Thread-safe X11 library. For libc5 systems, see the document gftp installation and use guide.) Pay special attention to whether the system supports Thread-safe X11;
3. Qt-2.1 or above;
4. GNU Make. Users other than BSD and RedHat may have to install them on their own;
5. Libstdc ++;
6. Egcs-c ++/gcc-c ++;
If you want to compile the source file, you also need to install the following software package:
7. Qt-delvel-2.1;
8. Libstdc ++-delvel;
9. XFree86-devel.
3. Prepare, compile, install and start Licq
1) directly install binary files
1. Download The qt-2.1.0-i386.rpm, licq-0_81-i386.rpmhttp: // ftp.xjtu.edu.cn );
2. Install it with GnoRPM in sequence.
2) starting from the source file
1. Download qt-2.1.0.tar.gz、licq-0.81a.tar.gz, licq-0.81a.diff patch) and unzip; Note: delete the old qt in the system because the qt-1.44 conflicts with the qt-2.1.
2. Log On with root and edit ~ /. Profile or/etc/profile:
# QT Settings
QTDIR =/usr/local/qt
PATH = $ PATH:/usr/local/bin:/$ QTDIR/bin
If [$ MANPATH]
Then
MANPATH = $ QTDIR/man: $ MANPATH
Else
MANPATH = $ QTDIR/man
If [$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH]
Then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ QTDIR/lib: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ QTDIR/lib
Fi
LIBRARY_PATH = $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If [$ CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH]
Then
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH = $ QTDIR/include: $ CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
Else
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH = $ QTDIR/include
Fi
Export qtdir path manpath LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBRARY_PATH
Export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
3. $ mv qt-2.00/usr/local/qt;
4. exit and log on to the root again:
$ Cd/usr/local/qt
Check whether the header file is required in the $ QTDIR/include directory. If not, copy the header file here.
$./Configure-gif
-Gif allows qt-gui to recognize gif files in skin. The next step takes a long time. It is best to prepare for other tasks.
$ Make
Modify/etc/ld. so. conf and add the path of libqt. so.2.0.1 to/usr/local/qt/lib );
$ Ldconfig
5. Unpack the licq package and copy the patch to the same directory;
6. patch-p1 <licq-0.70.1a.diff;
7. Install the plug-in.
$ Cd plugins/[oneplugin]
$./Configure-with-x-with-qt-libraries =/usr/local/qt/lib-with-qt-Primary des =/usr/local/qt/include
$ Make
$ Make install
8. Compile and install licq:
./Configure
Make
Make install
9. Start from "Start Menu" -- Internet -- licq. This is the main interface for licq:
It can also be started in the command line mode under X Window. Run $ licq-h to view the help details.
　
Iv. How to Use Licq
1) user account application and management
When licq is started for the first time, a user logon dialog box is displayed. As shown in:
　
Next, users with existing UIN can log on directly. Users without UIN can apply for a new UIN by entering the password they intend to use. As shown in:
　
Click Finish to log on. As shown in:
