[gaim-migrate @ 14731] Add prototypes, make things static, or #if 0 out unused function as necessary to get zephyr to compile without prototype warnings. It's painfully obvious that this code was written before prototypes existed, or at least before they became standard. As we need to maintain source compatibility with an external libzephyr, I can't really start adding header files. If someone cares about this protocol, feel free to clean this up a bit. My only concern is that I caught any actual mistakes and that it compiles without spurious warnings that would distract us from problems elsewhere. 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.
