[gaim-migrate @ 14317] I strongly suspect CruiseControl is going to yell at me for this. A voice chat API, GUI + mediastreamer. This is what I'm using for Google Talk. This doesn't actually do anything at all. There's no code in the Jabber plugin yet to use this API (although it Works For Me). All it will do is compile and link. If you're lucky. To build this, you should install oRTP from Linphone, Speex and iLBC (also from linphone, I believe). To not build this, ./configure --disable-vv. Most of the configure.ac and Makefile.am hackery was lifted right out of Linphone with a few modifications. It seems to work if you have everything installed or if you --disable-vv. I haven't really tested not having everything installed and not --disabling-vv. It's kinda funky to include all of mediastreamer in the source tree like this, but linphone doesn't build it as a separate library. I'll probably wind up writing them a patch to build it as a .so so we can link it dynamically instead. This code certainly isn't finished. It'll adapt as I progress on the Google code, but it's certainly of more use here in CVS than in my personal tree. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
