HOWTO: Gaim 2.0 beta cookbook

[mlind]

To build gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/) 2.0 beta3 for Dapper, you also need to build newer version of one additional library,
libgadu-dev to satisfy the build-time requirements.

You could build gaim using Dappers libgadu-dev library too, by modifying build-time dependencies,
but newer library contains some important security fixes (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/e/ekg/ekg_1.6+20060215-1/changelog)



Initial setup

Before starting I suggest you to install debfoster, run it once and answer yes for all asked questions.
This way you set default state for installed packages and can easily uninstall all required build-time dependencies.
You can later "reset" debfoster using -n parameter after build-time dependencies have been removed and
you have successfully completed the steps of this HOWTO.

sudo aptitude install debfoster
sudo debfoster





Setup build environment

Install required tools for building process

sudo aptitude install build-essential cdbs devscripts dh-make fakeroot





libgadu-dev

sudo dpkg -i ../gaim_2.0.0+beta3-5ubuntu1_i386.deb ../gaim-data_2.0.0+beta3-5ubuntu1_all.deb





Removing the build dependencies

If you installed debfoster as suggested in the beginning, you can now remove all build dependencies.
Answer p (as purge) for all questions regarding to applications and libraries installed on build process.

sudo debfoster



Remove/comment Debian source repositories from /etc/apt/sources.list





[edit]

Added libxml-parser-perl as build dependency, thanks bobpaul

[mlind]

gaim-guifications


I noticed that atleast gaim-guifications (http://guifications.sourceforge.net/) plugin needs to be upgraded to get it working
with new Gaim version, so here we go




Apply same initial setup as on Gaim HOWTO previously, if you already removed those.
You should use official Dapper source repository for this, so if you have Debian repositories still left on /etc/apt/sources.list, remove/comment those
Update your package source list before continuing

sudo aptitude update





Install the gaim development package that was built on Gaim HOWTO previously

sudo dpkg -i ~/packages/gaim/gaim-dev_2.0.0+beta3-5ubuntu1_i386.deb


Get old source package (for template)

mkdir -p ~/package/gaim-guifications
cd ~/package/gaim-guifications
apt-get source gaim-guifications


Get new sources. If download link doesn't work, use another mirror (http://guifications.sourceforge.net/downloads.php)

wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/guifications/gaim-guifications-2.13beta3.tar.gz


Apply package information for new sources (version needs to be specified in this case)

cd guifications-2.12
uupdate ../gaim-guifications-2.13beta3.tar.gz 2.13
cd ../guifications-2.13

Another great how-to, I'm learning tons about how building debs works. I will try making instructions for building gaim-encryption later.

Mike, feel free to share that plugin once you get it sorted ;)
Nautilus plugin needs to be re-compiled too it seems.

Thanks for the gaim otr. Unfortunately it still didn't work. dpkg said::

I updated that attachment, try it again. You must also install libotr2.

sudo aptitude install libotr2

I downloaded the attachment again, but I get the same message.

What's output of

dpkg -p gaim | grep Version


It should be Version: 1:2.0.0+beta3-4 and gaim-otr has requirement that version is (<< 1:3.0), less than 3.0.

Who compiled your version? It has different versioning prefix than used on Debian gaim source packages..

[evilhomer]

dpkg -p gaim | grep Version
Version: 2:2.0.0beta3-2ubuntu0

Hmm, I forget where...

maybe here: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/2006/06/14/new-gaim-20-beta-3-packages-now-for-dapper-drake/

Well, that versioning doesn't seem right.
Use gaim that's attached on post #3 of this thread instead.

[evilhomer]

success! thanks very much for your help.

guess i could have thought of that :oops:

[evilhomer]

any luck with 'extended preferences' plugin?

any luck with 'extended preferences' plugin?

I'll try that in a moment

[evilhomer]

just fyi, adept updater wants to take gaim from 1:2.0.0 back to 2:2.0.0 so it's a package in my sources.list

[mlind]

You could pin it down. Some other repository is using different versioning, and APT thinks it's newer.


To install gaim-extendedprefs plugin, try this


add to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu dapper main

then import gpg key (not absolutely necessary)

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key D0AFFF5E937215FF
gpg -a --export D0AFFF5E937215FF | sudo apt-key add -

Then install plugin

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gaim-exetendedprefs

[evilhomer]

Ah excellent! You're the man :) Now Gaim 2.0 is working great!


p.s. just fyi,

I got errors on the key:

gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad URI

[mlind]

I got errors on the key:

You're welcome, I hope it works okay.

That command maybe needs --keyserver pgp.mit.edu
to work. I guess I have added default keyserver somewhere on my configs.

[evilhomer]

Ah you called it. Doesn't work right. Doesn't remove the Buddy List from the taskbar. Oh well, everything else is working great. Thanks.



Still no luck with gpg

$gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key D0AFFF5E937215FF
gpg: requesting key 937215FF from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
?: pgp.mit.edu: Connection refused
gpgkeys: HKP fetch error: Connection refused

[mlind]

Still no luck with gpg


Well it doesn't matter. For some reason that keyserver isn't answering.

Tried the instructions, but nothing after this line:Edit debian/control file and remove version requirement from cdbs which is on Build-Depends linewould work for me.

The debs you threw up work great, though, but it looks like unless I build gaim myself I can't build other packages against gaim. Is this true? I started on this road because I had gaim2beta3 from automatix and wanted guifications and guifications plugin_pack. Now thanks to your debs I have guifications, but when I try to run ./configure for the plugin pack I get an error about GAIM package not found. I'm assuming this is because I don't have the gaim binary only and not the headers. Does this sound right? Is there anyway I can get just the headers, or do I need try and make it compile properly?

Yes, you need the gaim-dev package to compile gaim plugins. Could you describe what fails after you've edited debian/control file?
I suggest you to try pbuilder for building the package instead.

[bobpaul]

Could you describe what fails after you've edited debian/control file?

*rabble, rabble rabble* I expected that response as soon as I posted, but unfortunately I had already undone all that work as soon as it failed as I then noticed you had packages... just hadn't realized plugin_pack and guifications weren't the same thing ](*,) ...

So, I'll redo everything and later edit this post with the errors I was/am recieving.

[Edit]
Hrmpf! I was missing libxml-parser-perl. $sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl resolved the issue. Thanks for making me go back!:-D Maybe you should include that package in your howto...

[Edit2]
Stupid offlinemsg plug from the plugin pack still won't compile, but I successfully created *.debs for gaim, so that's got to count for something.

Make gaim-svn version maybe easy.

You can download gaim2 svn version (+source package) from

I uploaded gaim2 beta3.1 to my repository. Binaries are Dapper only, but source package is included and should build on Edgy too.

deb http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu dapper main
deb-src http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu dapper main


beta3.1 is a "maintenance" release for beta3, so don't update if you're using SVN snapshot.

[Zelut]

can you update the attachment with the beta3.1 .deb package?

Does anyone know if this fixes the proxy bug that 2.0beta3 has?

You can backport gaim-otr 3.0.0+cvs20060530-1 from Edgy or Debian experimental, if you're using Dapper. This version seems to work with Gaim 2 betas.

Does anyone have any information on the Nautilus integration plugin?

Nautilus integration plugin seems to be merged in gaim codebase. Doesn't it show on gaim plugins dialog?

[ericesque]

bump

I'm using edgy and nautilus integration is definitley an option. Installing gaim using Automatix in dapper left nautilus integration greyed out.

Just a quick question on nautilus integration though... what is it supposed to do? heh. any screenshots or explaination would be nice.

thanks!

[MighMoS]

I've set up an apt-repository that includes (amongst other things) gaim and gaim-otr. Other updates include rhythmbox and gtk-engines, so if you don't like those, you can "lock version" in synaptic, or just grab the .deb files off of my website: http://mighmos.org.

The apt-repository line is:deb http://mighmos.org/apt-repository/ dapper main

[MighMoS]

I tried packaging it yesterday, but although it compiled, it didn't run. I'm currently looking into it (or maybe I just grabbed it too soon).

[domino]

I just built and installed from SVN. However, I'm a bit confused. Which is is newer, beta4 or SVN? I'm assuming the trunk is newer but not necessarily more stable.

Also where is a good how-to to build edgy packages from the files I got from the trunk?

otr will have to be recompiled to work with beta4. If you are comfortable with that, here are the steps:

1. Grab the sources at http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/gaim-otr-3.0.0.tar.gz , and untar them
2. Apply the beta2 patch http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/gaim2b2-otr.diff
3. It still won't compile, open gtk-dialog.c in an editor
4. At line 33, change "gtkstock.h" to "gaimstock.h"
5. Go thru the normal cycle of ./configure ; make ; sudo make install

1. i am a dumbass
2. i dont have drapper :-x

so now i need to somehow undo everything i did. i found out how to upgrade for breezy and not drapper... but it wont work and i am pretty sure it is because i tried to do the drapper upgrade of gaim.

EDIT: Compiled beta5 today, had nothing better to do... Guifications are working nonetheless.

Hi I'm having a problem compiling guifications, it says I don't have gaim installed, however I clearly do and under the package name 'gaim' too.$ ./configure
(lots of typical configure script output...)
checking for gcc -std=gnu99 option to accept ISO Standard C... (cached) -std=gnu99
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GAIM... configure: error: Package requirements (gaim) were not met:

No package 'gaim' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GAIM_CFLAGS
and GAIM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I have your gaim package installed:$ dpkg -l | grep gaim
ii gaim 2.0.0+beta4-3 multi-protocol instant messaging client
ii gaim-data 2.0.0+beta4-3 multi-protocol instant messaging client - da
I tried both the gaim-guifications-2.13beta4 and beta5 tarballs from this page. Any idea as to why it's not showing up?

PS Are there any plans in the works to package beta5?

[kousik]

You need gaim-devel package.

[evilhomer]

the gaim beta4 package he made of otr 3+cvs worked for me:

http://www.excentral.org/tag/gaim

(click on edgy for the repo instructions)

[kousik]

I get this error:

You need gaim-devel package of gaim2 beta4 (or 5).

[mlind]

I've uploaded beta5 for both edgy and dapper to my repository if anyone's interested.
(including gaim-guifications plugin for both distributions).

[Zelut]

thanks for that update. The biggest thing I'm still looking for is compatibility with gaim-otr, which I can't even quite figure out with my own custom compiling. Any tips on that mlind?

Sure thing, I uploaded patched package of gaim-otr (from Debian unstable) for that works with beta5 in to my repository.
It's for edgy, do you need a Dapper package instead?

[Zelut]

No, the edgy version is just what I was looking for.

I don't suppose you have a writeup somewhere on tips & tricks on compiling gaim & the extras. I'm always trying to keep up on the beta packages but can't ever get the plugins to work with it.

Thanks for the repo by the way, without yours I'd be back at 1.5 :)

You were probably doing the right thing all along, execpt that gaim-otr required a patch to work with newer gaim. DBTS contained a bug report and a patch for this issue, so fix was just to apply the patch and rebuild.

[amoniak]

@mlind

MANY thx for your package.. it was trying to compile it by myself, but I was not able to and already almost giving up..

cheers

[cullwock]

Does anyone have a edgy deb for beta6?

[Zelut]

There is a beta6 now? When are they just going to go 2.0 stable and call it good? ...or I guess its the google perpetual beta model.

[NRG88]

I still found bugs in it. It's better to say it's beta, than to release it as stable, but with bugs.

[Pathfinder_]

does this beta fix the direct connect issue with aim?

[Wes24]

I get a segmentation fault when launching Beta 6, so I guess it is still a bit buggy.

[LKRaider]

I compiled debian packages of the beta 6 here on Dapper and it is working fine!

Much better than the beta 3 I was (inadvertidly) running till now :)

[Wes24]

Fixed it using the following information:
http://www.debuntu.org/gaim-2.0.0beta6-edgy-networkmanager-support#comment-302

[LKRaider]

On my build (Dapper), the ICQ network is not listed on the program. (effectivelly not available as an option).

Anyone knows if ICQ is dependant on Xulrunner (libnss3-dev)? I am using GnuTLS only since Dapper has no devel packages for libnss3.

[user2037]

checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4 gaim >= 1.0... configure: error: glib

feel like i've had this over and over and over, with each new beta.

trying to compile otr for gaim2b4. i'm using edgy. thanks.

I have the same issue with Edgy and it appears to need the Gaim source-package "gaim-dev". Unfortunately that package appears to be beta3.1 and is incompatible with the binary for beta5.

[Drezliok]

I compiled Beta6 I got the SSL to work for MSN also. But I have no sound option other than
Console Beep
No Sound
Command

When I set it to Command and use ALSA, OSS. Or NAS, ARTs, ESD it crashes on me and lleave ms this.

Did I miss something in the compile?

Also I did not use gaim-dev

Other than the sound issue it seems to run fine.

[MighMoS]

I'm also having problems getting it to run, and this includes flat out stealing source packages from Feisty, so I'm not sure what exactly is going on.

[mlind]

I compiled Beta6 I got the SSL to work for MSN also. But I have no sound option other than
Console Beep
No Sound
Command

When I set it to Command and use ALSA, OSS. Or NAS, ARTs, ESD it crashes on me and lleave ms this.

Did I miss something in the compile?

Also I did not use gaim-dev


Did you use the gaim source package from Feisty? If you're compiling additional plugins that depend on gaim-dev, make sure it's beta6 gaim-dev.

[Drezliok]

No, I actually used the source from the gaim website. I guess I can try it again from feisty.

[Wes24]

There are also debs available (for edgy):

[mlind]

I recall uploading gaim6 for edgy in my repository, but I'm not able to check that currently.
