It says it depends on 'libotr 4.x'. I don't understand, isn't that
the project itself?
Thank you again for working on this and I wish it wouldn't add
so many non-trivial library dependencies. The nice thing about
libotr3 is that it is reliable because it's low on external
dependencies.
From
libglib2.0-dev
libdecaf
libsodium-dev
libotr 4.x
libgcrypt 1.8.0 or newer
I feel like libsodium-dev should be the only one a v4 libotr
may depend on, if we consider the use DJB's crypto designs
in place of OTRv3's past (reasonable) choices. This isn't
meant to diminish the work on v4 and meant as critique
to consider as improvements.
