libmesode is deprecated. Please use libstrophe (>= 0.11.0). The major functionality that distinguished it from libstrophe was the manual verification of a certificate. This has now been implemented in libstrophe 0.11.0.
The other reasons for the fork are listed below. And none is worth keeping this fork around.
libmesode is a fork of libstrophe (http://strophe.im/libstrophe/) for use in Profanity (http://www.profanity.im/).
Reasons for forking:
- Remove Windows support
- Support only one XML Parser implementation (expat)
- Support only one SSL implementation (OpenSSL)
This simplifies maintenance of the library when used in Profanity.
Whilst Profanity will run against libstrophe, libmesode provides extra TLS functionality such as manual SSL certificate verification.
If you are building from a source control checkout, run:
./bootstrap.sh
to generate the configure script.
From the top-level directory, run the following commands:
./configure
make
The public API is defined in mesode.h which is in the
top-level directory.
The examples directory contains some examples of how to
use the library; these may be helpful in addition to the
API documentation
To install on your system, as root (or using sudo):
make install
Note, the default install path is /usr/local/, to specify
another path use the --prefix option during configure, e.g.:
./configure --prefix=/usr
