It is only provided with SILC +Toolkit package as an example GUI application, to show how to program with +SILC Toolkit. It is a good example for all GUI programmers to figure out +how to hook up SILC Toolkit, and in the end the SILC Client Library to a +GUI application. + +The silcer.png file found in this package is a screenshot of the +application in action. You can compile it by running first the +./autogen.sh script and then giving command `make' or `gmake'. + +When you run the silcer you must run it by giving command src/silcer +because it will attempt to look for GUI files in the ui/ directory found +in this package. So, do not enter src/ directory, but run it directly +from the root where you gave the make command. + +When the program starts it will attempt to connect directly to +silc.silcnet.org router on port 706. After it has connected you can +freely use it as any SILC client. In the input box on the screen you can +give commands. Commands, such as /nick, /join, etc. The application is +only an example so all features has not been implemented. For example +various command notifications and other notifications are not implemented +on the screen. This means that when you give command /nick you won't +actually see whether your nickname changed or not. But it did. :) Same +is when you join to a channel by giving command /join you won't get list +of users or other familiar things. This is because those notifications +has not been implemented. They are left as an excerise for Toolkit +programmers. You can still converse on a channel. You will see other +users' messages on the channel and you can talk to the channel, so you can +test the application if you like. + +The sources resides in the src/ directory and are C++. The GUI files +resides in ui/ directory and was done with glade. + +Happy hacking!
