# Loudmouth interface for lua

This interface to loudmouth XMPP client library for lua 5.1 or 5.2.

Main loudmouth project is now unmaintained, but mcabber community keeps

working version with some improvements at

<http://github.com/mcabber/loudmouth>.

Test script depends on my glib module, and thus is unusable as is.

Still, it is a good example of how things are working.

This module should be used as follows:

lm = require 'lm'

i.e., you should assign return value of *require* to some variable.

Loudmouth uses glib main loop to work, thus you should use this module 

in a glib loop environment, provided either by your glib-based program

or by some other module, eg lua binding for gtk+ or my glib module.

# Installation

To install it, you need:

 * lua (optional, to run test)

 * liblua headers and library

 * glib headers and library

 * loudmouth headers and library

 * cmake

 * c compiler (gcc)

 * linker (binutils)

 * pkg-config (to detect glib and loudmouth)

 * perl (optional, to generate documentation)

Then do: 

    $ mkdir build
