This project aims to provide a simple library that wraps all of the functions found in the ProjectTox GitHub repo. (Tox.h, ToxAv.h, ToxEncryption.h)
Tox is a free (as in freedom) Skype replacement.
Feel free to contribute!
I do not really maintain this version of SharpTox! I aim to have a base to play with and be able to use the basic features of Tox in C#!
Feel free to contribute but do not expect a working version!
The current version I program against is 0.2.8 of toxcore.
- The libtox library, you should compile that yourself from the ProjectTox GitHub repo. Guidelines on how to do this can be found here. If you don't feel like compiling this yourself, you can find automatic builds for windows here: x86 or x64
Depending on how you compiled the core libraries, the names of those may differ from the defaults in SharpTox. Be sure to change the value of the const string DLL in Extern.cs accordingly if needed. I for example needed to change this for using SharpTox on a debian machine.
If you've set up your project like mentioned above you can go ahead and compile SharpTox.
This Repository has been set up to work with .NET Core.
Please follow the How To Setup .NET Core Guide from Microsoft to setup your Environment for building and testing SharpTox. When you've setup everything accordingly to your system go to the project top directory of SharpTox and execute following in your commandline:
dotnet restore
dotnet build
In order to run the Tests for SharpTox you do not need libtox.{dll,so,dylib} in your executing directory anymore. Run from your commandline:
dotnet test
For the sample you require the libtox.{dll,so,dylib} in your executing directory! Run from your commandline in the root SharpTox folder:
dotnet run --project SharpTox.Sample
A ToxID will be displayed and every friend request will be accepted automatically. Every message sent will be displayed on the commandline. Use any current Tox Messenger to try it.
If no second message (Udp or Tcp) is displayed after some seconds you may want to check if the Nodes are up 2 date.
This repository is currently mainly for my own programming uses. If anything comes up or this changes I will write it down somewhere. Also I'm developing on Windows. So I cannot truly troubleshoot P/Invoke questions on Linux/Mac.
Looking for precompiled binaries? I do not provide them currently. Sorry!
