Vivi

Vivi is a XMPP chatting client at OS X. Swiften is used as XMPP client library to communicate with XMPP server.

The main language is Swift language. All UI code is programed with Swift. However, the XMPP tool is written with Objective-C and C++, since Swiften is a C++ based lib. The Objective-C and C++ codes are all included in ViviSwiften.framework. The framework provide the protocol for Swift based UI code. As a result, you can implement the protocol of the framework to write your own XMPP client GUI.

Compile Swiften

Before starting to code, compile the Swiften lib firstly.

  • If you have not installed libboost* (check with ls /usr/local/lib | grep boost), run below in bash:

    ./setupSwiften.sh

  • If you have installed libboost*, still run the command above, and you need to add /usr/local/include/boost and /usr/local/lib/ to Header Search Paths and Library Search Paths in Xcode Building Settings.

Read SwiftXMPP/Documentation/BuildingOnUnix for more details about compiling Swiften.

Some Issues

If it occurred to be some linker error or compile error about Swiften when building Xcode target, please check your linker and c flag settings flow below steps:

  1. In xcodeproject porject settings Build Settings tab, check the value of Header Search Paths and Library Search Paths (use the search tool in Build Settings to search the defines). They should point to the dir include Swiften's source dir Swiften and library Swifetn.a.
  2. In xcodeproject porject settings Build Settings tab, check the value of SWIFTEN_LINKER_FLAGS and SWIFTEN_C_FLAGS.

The Swiften provide a tool to print the linker and c flag messages:

cd Frameworks/bin
./swiften-config --libs # print to be linked libs
./swiften-config --cflag # print c++ flags
# ignore the -LXXX or -IXXX output, it has been set in 'Build Phase' and 'Header Search Paths'
