Well, I just tried to build and run it and it fails as:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/utox
XLib Tray: Incoming tray window event (28)
XLib tray: Reached end of function, this is bad juju!

and quite a fast search inside their issue allows me to discover:
https://github.com/uTox/uTox/issues/1165

So, I haven't see any reason to keep it: it's broken and abonden.

I found some attempt to make net/qtox but seems that nobody really motivated
to use is, see: https://marc.info/?t=160951153300001&r=1&w=2

But I not sure that it worth to make it because the project is archived,
and both forks with some stars on github is on the same state.
