AcornICQ is a client for ICQ on the RISC OS platform.
AcornICQ is a RISC OS ICQ client that requires the Norcroft C compiler, Objasm, Link and CVS. These are all included in the C/C++ Toolbox from Acorn. In addition, the user needs to have certain libraries to run the software smoothly.
These libraries include Clib library, OSLib, Playit library, Syslog library, and an own build of Dreamscape checked out from the CVS tree. To begin building the sources, the user must first checkout the sources from the CVS tree.
To do this, type in "cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/acornicq login" and "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/acornicq co acornicq" in the command prompt. This command checks out the makefile, sources, and dreamscape library, and it is important to remember to unzip the dreamscape library.
Before compiling, the user will need to set up some paths. Playit_src$Path needs to point to the Playit header and object files (parent of the h and o dir). The Syslog$Path needs to point to the Syslog header and object files (parent of the h and o dir).
Also, the OS$Path needs to point to the OSLib header files, and the C$Path should point to the Dreamscape and netlib headers. Additionally, OSLib$Path should point to the OSLib lib file, Netlib$Path should point to the Netlib lib file, and DScape$Path should point to the Dreamscape lib file.
Finally, the user can edit the makefile to change it for their own setup, and clicking on the MakeFile should complete the compilation process effortlessly.
