|---|

|---|

|---|
| [0c60f96] | 22 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | - Now compile and install it: |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 26 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 27 | ./configure --prefix=/usr |
|---|
| 28 | make |
|---|
| 29 | make install install-dev |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 30 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | - Get the plugin code: |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 34 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 35 | git clone http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/vmiklos/bitlbee-skype |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 36 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | - Compile and install it: |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 40 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 41 | make |
|---|
| 42 | cp skype.so /usr/lib/bitlbee |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 43 | ---- |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 44 | |
|---|
| [ed2e37f] | 45 | - Start skyped (the tcp server): |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 46 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 47 | ---- |
|---|
| [ba20c39] | 48 | python skyped.py |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 49 | ---- |
|---|
| [ba20c39] | 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | NOTE: It's important to start skyped on the same machine and using the same |
|---|
| 52 | user as you run Skype as it uses the session DBus for communication! |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 53 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 54 | == What works: |
|---|
| [b6d26ac] | 55 | |
|---|
| [adce2de] | 56 | - Download nicks and away statuses from Skype |
|---|
| [b6d26ac] | 57 | |
|---|
| [93ece66] | 58 | - Sending messages |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| [8dd21bb] | 60 | - Receiving messages |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| [ed2e37f] | 62 | - skyped (the tcp daemon that is a gateway between Skype and tcp) |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | - Error handling when skyped is not running and when it exists |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 65 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 66 | == What needs to be done (aka. TODO): |
|---|
| [440665b] | 67 | |
|---|
| [712a284] | 68 | - we can't ourselves join to &bitlbee (ignore such a message from skype) |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| [8dd21bb] | 70 | - mark received messages as read so that skype won't say there are unread messages |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| [592f824] | 72 | - Away status changes (send / receive) |
|---|
| [b6d26ac] | 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | - join / parts |
|---|
| 75 | |
|---|
| [93ece66] | 76 | - add/remove users, detect when somebody wants to add us (maybe detect when we're removed?) |
|---|
| 77 | |
|---|
| [8dd21bb] | 78 | - maybe on account on/off, change our state from/to offline? so that we won't miss any message |
|---|
| 79 | |
|---|
| [0c60f96] | 80 | == I would like to have support for ... |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| [afe221f] | 82 | If something does not work and it's not in the TODO section, then please contact me! |
|---|
| 83 | |
