1.1 I heard about many GUI for WeeChat. How can I compile/use them?
|
|
|
|
Curses GUI is built by default.
|
|
To build Gtk or Qt GUI you've to specify extra options to ./configure script:
|
|
--enable-gtk to enable gtk GUI
|
|
--enable-qt to enable Qt QUI
|
|
Type ./configure --help to see available options.
|
|
WARNING: only Curses GUI is ok today. Other GUI are under development!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2 I can't compile WeeChat CVS.
|
|
|
|
Check that you have latest version of autoconf and automake.
|
|
WeeChat has been developed with autoconf version 2.56 and automake version 1.7.
|
|
You should have at least these versions in order to compile WeeChat CVS.
|
|
If you can't or don't want to install these versions, you can download and
|
|
install "devel package", a package built almost every day, based on CVS.
|
|
Note that this package may not correspond exactly to CVS base.

2.1 Why using WeeChat ? Irssi and xchat are so good...
|
|
|
|
Because WeeChat is very light and has new features.
|
|
Some new features:
|
|
* many GUI (Curses, Gtk, Qt),
|
|
* extensible with scripts (Perl, Python, Ruby),
|
|
* developed from scratch (not based on any other IRC client)
|
|
* multi-platform
|
|
* 100% GPL and free
|
|
This is the "geekest Irc client" ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2 I've launched WeeChat, but I'm lost, what can I do?
|
|
|
|
For help you can type /help. For help about a command, type /help command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3 How can I customize key bindings?
|
|
|
|
Today you can't do that. This will be available in a future version.
