Development of this plugin is discontinued in favor of Telegram tdlib.

This PKGBUILD remains for usage of the master branch.

@franciscod I've opened an issue related to pidgin. As for now you can provide your own fix here or make an upsteam pull request. It will be great if upstream provides a fix thus making it possible for other users to smoothly install the package.

Hmm.. the upstream makefile assumes that pidgin directory exists: https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple/blob/master/Makefile.in#L71 Should I (1) patch that Makefile so it doesn't install the icons on pidgin and (2) then, on post_install, if the pidgin package is installed copy the icons, else show a warning of they not being available on pidgin unless you reinstall? I wouldn't like to put pidgin as a dependency since it's perfectly usable without it.

@franciscod I'm new to Linux and programming at all, so it's not a question I could answer. But that's what I think: as this is just an add-on, it should be handled by libpurple through generic API, which is protocol developers' responsibility. I also think that all most popular messengers based on libpurple should be mentioned as optional dependencies. Look at related wiki page and watch through another PKGBUILDs to figure out how to do this. Personally I use Telepathy.

Nice find! What client do you use (if not pidgin)? Pidgin should somehow be an optional dependency and the protocol icons should only be added if pidgin exists? How is stuff like this commonly handled?

Solution: I've installed pidgin and ran this once more - everything builds. But KDE user would want gtk-free system, thus you'd better provide a sudo prompt (?) or push pidgin as dependency.

Failed to create directory /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin: Permission denied. I think sudo password should be asked for?

AUR4 import complete, with libwebp as dependency. Thanks The_Loko!

Thanks The_Loko! I've yet to migrate to aur4 but I'll look at the libwebp dep as soon as I can.

The_Loko commented on 2015-06-16 15:11 (UTC)

I think this need libwebp as dependency now.
