Communi - a cross-platform IRC client library written with Qt 4

Introduction

Communi, formerly known as LibIrcClient-Qt, is a cross-platform IRC client library written with Qt 4. IRC (Internet Relay Chat protocol) is a simple text-based communication protocol.

Installation

To compile Communi, do the standard mantra:

    $ qmake
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

The default build config is resolved by qmake. To build Communi specifically in release or debug mode, you may pass additional "-config release" or "-config debug" parameters to qmake, respectively. Furthermore, in order to build a static version of Communi, you may pass "-config static".

Usage

Add the following line to your qmake project (.pro) file:

    CONFIG += communi

This adds the necessary include paths and linker rules in order to use the library.

Communi in a nutshell:

• IrcSession manages the connection to an IRC server
• IrcMessage represents a message received from an IRC server via IrcSession::messageReceived().
• IrcCommand represents a command sent to an IRC server via IrcSession::sendCommand().
