VyQChat Frequently asked questions
==================================
modified: 2004-09-26

Q1: I have Qt library but vyqchat doesn't compile!

A1: You have probably only the library itself (binary package), which is enough to
    run installed applications, but not the developement headers and tools required
    for compilation. Depending on your linux distribution, this package may be named
    like 'qt3-3.2.3-devel', 'libqt3-3.2.1-devel' or something like this. Please
    install it as well as XFree86-libs developement package. The same applies
    to optional libraries needed for sound. See 'Requirements' section in
    README.

Q2: I can't compile VyQChat under Debian Linux!

A2: In Debian, Qt is placed in no-standard location. Either set QTDIR environment variable
    to /usr/share/qt3 or run configure with '--with-Qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3' option.

Q3: What about docking vyqchat in systray?

A3: This will be implemented for sure. I'm looking for a clean and elegant
    way to support different window managers and desktop environments like
    KDE, GNOME, XFCE, fluxbox etc. For now, solution used in psi (a jabber
    client) seems very promising. If you know some other, please contact me.

Q4: I see this message in console when running vyqchat:
    "packet M not implemented (yet)"

A4: Nothing to worry about. This is not-so-important information from
    VypressChat that is being sent when your friend minimizes chat window
    etc. It is ignored in vyqchat for now.

Q5: I can't see any special characters that my language use

A5: This should change starting from vyqchat-0.1.2. First, make sure you have
    correct locale settings in your system (e.g. LC_LANG=pl_PL etc. for
    Polish). Second, set the correct font: use KDE Control Center if using
    KDE or qtconfig utility that comes with Qt. Third, make sure all your
    friends use the same character encodings. In mixed environment (Linux and
    Windows users) set character encoding to the one that windows uses
    (Settings -> Misc -> Character encoding; available starting from
    vyqchat-0.2.4).
    
Q6: I can't close channel's tab (to leave channel)

A6: To leave a channel (or private chat), type /leave (or use commands menu,
    then choose /leave) and press ENTER. Starting from version 0.2.4 you may
    right-click somewhere in channel area and choose "leave" from context menu.
    Leaving #Main channel closes VyQChat.
 
Q7: I want to translate vyqchat for my language!

A7: Great! Please first contact me, because somebody else may be doing same job
    for your language. I'm slowly preparing vyqchat for API-freeze, so that
    translators could start their job. I suppose version 0.2.8 will be ready
    for translations.
 
Q8: What IDE did you use to create vyqchat?

A8: Everything was programmed using the great Vim with some helpful scripts like Taglist
    or Bufexplorer. Surprised? ;)
