[gaim-migrate @ 16603]
wabz says: "gaim_strdup_withhtml in util.c is purely for converting
linebreaks to <br> - some protocols use it for various reasons, but not msn
- not sure where it's done for that (might not be? gtkconv doesnt use
gaim_markup_strip_html). i reckon since you're using
gaim_markup_strip_html, you may as well play it safe and just use
gaim_strdup_withhtml before the strip?"
So let's do it until GntTextView can parse html. (after all, that's 20% of
the users ;) )
This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
