Please add "resources.txt"

[viertelb]

I want to install the package in Linux and it seems that I have to copy and paste each of the libraries under "Dependencies" from the installation advice, which is annoying. Please add a resources.txt file that can be used to install all of these with a simple copy and paste into sudo apt install <stuff>. If I am wrong please consider putting some advice on how to make with dependencies. After cloning on Ubuntu 20.04 and make I get:

Apart from that I am excited to see another tox client, especially such an old school one!

EDIT: After installing all the dependencies I still get the following error. Please consider putting the right toxcore into the dependencies (probably libtoxcore-dev. Also, vpx seems to be missing from the dependencies.

Please add a resources.txt file that can be used to install all of these with a simple copy and paste into sudo apt install .

That would require a different file for every OS and distro which is not something I'm willing to maintain myself. The dependencies list is just there to get people on track. It's up to you to figure out which package you need for your specific system.

Toxcore is listed as the first the dependency. VPX is optional and not required to compile. Only the dependencies marked as BASE are required.

Not sure about Ubuntu, however on Debian (which is Ubuntu's upstream) you can simply sudo apt-get build-dep toxic. This will install all packages necessary to build toxic. I have tried it on Debian Bullseye (current "testing") and it compiles, albeit not without a small nuance:

./toxic --version
Toxic version 0.10.1_r1977
Toxcore version 0.2.12
