This project is in early development and is not yet suitable for regular use.

Development builds: [[https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/Ralith/nachat/artifacts/nachat.zip?branch=master&job=Configuration%3A+Release][Windows 64-bit]]

• Dependencies

  • LMDB
  • Qt >= 5.6

  Qt 5.6 provides extended text layout support nachat relies on to implement clickable URLs in the custom timeline widget, and provides superior support for high-DPI displays. Supporting earlier versions is unfortunately not trivial.

• Build Requirements

  • CMake >= 3.1
  • A C++14 compiler and stdlib providing ~std::experimental::optional~ (OSX users need Xcode >= 8)

• Building The binary will be output at ~build/src/nachat~ and can be executed in-place. Building on Windows and OSX should be possible but is not yet documented. ** Linux

  1. Clone this repository and its submodules: #+BEGIN_SRC sh git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ralith/nachat.git cd nachat #+END_SRC or #+BEGIN_SRC sh git clone https://github.com/Ralith/nachat.git cd nachat git submodule update --init #+END_SRC
  2. ~cmake -H. -Bbuild~
  3. ~make -C build~ ** Nix A nix environment is provided. Execute ~nix-shell .~ before ~cmake~.

• Installation ** Using Nix ~nix-env -f . -i~ will add ~nachat~ to your path. Development takes place on the ~nixos-unstable~ channel, so building on ~nixos-16.03~ may require some tweaking of ~default.nix~.

• Run-time data ** Linux Most recent username, homeserver, and access token are stored in Qt INI format at ~$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nachat/nachat.conf~. Per-account data, including room state, is cached at ~$XDG_CACHE_HOME/nachat/nachat/<hexadecimal form of utf8 encoding of MXID>~.
