1 Silcer Gnome SILC Client
2 ========================
3
4 This is Silcer, the Gnome SILC Client. It is only provided with SILC
5 Toolkit package as an example GUI application, to show how to program with
6 SILC Toolkit. It is a good example for all GUI programmers to figure out
7 how to hook up SILC Toolkit, and in the end the SILC Client Library to a
8 GUI application.

10 The silcer.png file found in this package is a screenshot of the
11 application in action. You can compile it by running first the
12 ./autogen.sh script and then giving command `make' or `gmake'.
13
14 When you run the silcer you must run it by giving command src/silcer
15 because it will attempt to look for GUI files in the ui/ directory found
16 in this package. So, do not enter src/ directory, but run it directly
17 from the root where you gave the make command.
18
19 When the program starts it will attempt to connect directly to
20 silc.silcnet.org router on port 706. After it has connected you can
21 freely use it as any SILC client. In the input box on the screen you can
22 give commands. Commands, such as /nick, /join, etc. The application is
23 only an example so all features has not been implemented. For example
24 various command notifications and other notifications are not implemented
25 on the screen. This means that when you give command /nick you won't
26 actually see whether your nickname changed or not. But it did. :) Same
27 is when you join to a channel by giving command /join you won't get list
28 of users or other familiar things. This is because those notifications
29 has not been implemented. They are left as an exerise for Toolkit
30 programmers. You can still converse on a channel. You will see other
31 users' messages on the channel and you can talk to the channel, so you can
32 test the application if you like.

34 The sources resides in the src/ directory and are C++. The GUI files
35 resides in ui/ directory and was done with glade.

37 Happy hacking!
