[gaim-migrate @ 14742] 1. Protecting the --enable-debug warning tests with an "if gcc" check. 2. Adding a number of warning flags to --enable-debug. All cases of the added warnings have been fixed, except: a. The pointer-arith warnings. I think someone smarter than me should decide whether we need to fix those (and how) or if that should be disabled. That said, I think all the errors left (after you consider the exception listed as "b" below) are in libzephyr. b. Those in src/protocols/sametime/meanwhile at siege's request. Don't worry about these for now. 3. Noting a few warnings we could enable, and the cases we'd have to deal with. Thoughts on these warnings? 4. I added support for FORTIFY_SOURCE. If your compiler has support for this feature, --enable-debug will set _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. I'm doing this in --enable-debug for the warnings you get. I wouldn't mind having it on by default for the runtime protections as well. Thoughts? committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
