[gaim-migrate @ 14934] Enable the extra warnings regardless of --enable-debug. Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE regardless of --enable-debug, adding a --disable-fortify flag to configure. Enable (well, stop disabling) the missing initializer warnings. This leads to warnings with: GValue v = {0,}; that must be worked around. Basically, instead of: GValue v = {0,}; ... g_value_init(&v, G_TYPE_FOO); /* or other use of the GValue */ We'd need to do: GValue v; ... v.g_type = 0; g_value_init(&v, G_TYPE_FOO); /* or other use of the GValue */ Fix several cases of missing initializers. I don't think any of these are bugs, but having this warning seems like a good idea. It might prevent us from making a mistake in the future. While I was fixing missing initializers, I optimized substitute_simple_word in plugins/spellchk.c, in the same way as I did substitute_word before. Yes, I'm bad for committing these together. Added a --enable-fatal-asserts flag to configure. As the name implies, this makes g_return_... guards fatal. This is a useful flag to run on a debug copy of Gaim. It will make it very clear if your changes have triggered one of these guards. It's also useful in detecting g_return_... abuse, which helps prevent crashes if Gaim is compiled with G_DISABLE_ASSERT defined. 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
	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 simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./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.
