BUILD.md

• Install c-toxcore (libtoxav and the DNS client are not required) https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#build-manually
• git clone https://github.com/gjedeer/tuntox.git
• cd tuntox
• make

The makefile creates a static binary by default. If you're not a fan of static binaries, make tuntox_nostatic.

One reason to do so may be if you'd like to resolve hostnames on the tuntox server (invoke client with -L 80:reddit.com:80 instead of -L 80:198.41.208.138:80).

Static linking breaks hostname resolution, but IMHO the pros overweight the cons.

c-toxcore is the only direct dependency. c-toxcore requires libsodium and libevent_pthreads at the time of writing this, please refer to their install instructions for the current dependencies. Also pkg-config is required.

Debian sid

In Debian sid, toxcore is in the main repos so it's very easy to build a deb package.

apt install pkg-config build-essential make libtoxcore-dev dh-make git python3-jinja2 python3-requests
git clone https://github.com/gjedeer/tuntox.git
cd tuntox
dh_make --createorig -s
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

It's even easier to just build the binary:

apt install pkg-config build-essential make libtoxcore-dev git python3-jinja2 python3-requests
git clone https://github.com/gjedeer/tuntox.git
cd tuntox
make

MacOS build

Basically the same as above but:

• static compiling is removed - you can't do this on MacOS platform (no, just don't)
• because of removed -static you can't resolve hostnames (you can always put it into hosts file in your system)

If you'd like to build on Mac do: make -f Makefile.mac

FreeBSD build

pkg install toxcore
gcc -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib -o tuntox -lpthread -g -pthread -lm -static -lrt *.c /usr/local/lib/libtoxcore.a -lsodium

If someone knows why the hell pkg-config doesn't find toxcore or sodium on freebsd, please contact me or open a PR.
