User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/hexchat
Install HexChat by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-python
--enable-python=python3
: By default, configure will look for Python 2
to build the Python plugin and will error out if it can't find it.
Use one of these switches if you wish to either disable the plugin
or use Python 3 instead.
