Getting

The easiest way to get the Squawk is to install it from AUR (if you use Archlinux like distribution)

Here is the link for the AUR package

You can also install it from console if you use some AUR wrapper. Here what it's going to look like with pacaur

$ pacaur -S squawk

You can also clone the repo and build it from source

Squawk requires Qt with SSL enabled. It uses CMake as build system.

There are two ways to build, it depends whether you have qxmpp installed in your system

$ git clone https://git.macaw.me/blue/squawk
$ cd squawk
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .

Building with bundled qxmpp

Here is what you do

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.macaw.me/blue/squawk
$ cd squawk
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -D SYSTEM_QXMPP=False
$ cmake --build .
