I am still using the good, old tora from time to time. I even have a script to make it and clean it up automatically if the make fails:

---

[mgogala_at_medo bin]$ cat make-tora
#!/bin/bash

function rm-tora() {

    echo "Removing /tmp/tora";
    rm -rf /tmp/tora
    sync;
}

mkdir -p /tmp/tora
cd /tmp/tora
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/tora/code/trunk tora-code || exit -1 cd /tmp/tora/tora-code || exit -1
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/include -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release tora make -j4 tora poracle || rm-tora

---

Unfortunately, the make fails pretty often. The latest revision also fails:

                                                ^

/tmp/tora/tora-code/tora/src/core/main.cpp:124:84: error: ‘ToConfiguration::Global’ has not been declared

         QString style(toConfigurationNewSingle::Instance().option (ToConfiguration::Global::Style).toString());

However, the last successfully compiled version works pretty well.
