Description Rex Dieter 2005-04-16 18:39:15 UTC

Version:           0.10 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) 
OS:                Linux

meanwhile protocol support seems to be (source) compatible only with meanwhile library version 0.3.  It appears header filenames have changed to have prefix mw_ in meanwhile-0.4.0.  However, naively renaming all references from
#include <meanwhile/...>
to 
#include <meanwhile/mw_...>
doesn't work either.  (I get undefined struct mwSession errors).

start at porting sametime plugin to meanwhile 0.4

I tried the same naive approach of renaming the headers, but ran up against the
meanwhile session API changes.
I also fixed the build system to use KDE_PKG_CHECK_MODULES as meanwhile 0.4
ships with a sane pkg-config file. This change seem to work well.
Anyhow, I've attached the patch, perhaps someone with more knowledge of
meanwhile library can build upon it.

Build failures using latest patch

There seems to have been a significant change in the way sessions are handled
in meanwhile 0.4

Comment 5 Nedim Cholich 2005-06-30 22:20:26 UTC

Can this bug have higher priority then "normal" please? The whole protocol is not working!

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2005-06-30 22:25:01 UTC

Nedim, "the whole protocol is not working" isn't completely true.  You just need to compile against meanwhile-0.3.1.

Comment 7 Jeremy Kerr 2005-07-01 00:47:56 UTC

I have been working on support for libmeanwhile-0.4.2. I'll post it to kopete-devel after a few cleanups (ie, a day or two).

Comment 8 Nick Brown 2005-07-04 00:17:25 UTC

SVN commit 431226

Comment 9 Nedim Cholich 2005-07-09 18:40:38 UTC

Many thanks!

When is this going to be merged into 3.4.1 > ?

Comment 10 Matt Rogers 2005-07-09 18:48:05 UTC

It won't. Next release it'll be in is KDE 3.5 (Kopete 0.11)
