New LiCQ and ebuild!

Lin_Matt · Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2002 7:52 pm Post subject: New LiCQ and ebuild!

The good folks over at www.licq.org have been kind enough to release a new version of LiCQ! I've attached an ebuild & patch to bug #5826 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5826). I haven't had the chance to test it fully, but it seems to run just fine on my gcc3.1/kde3.1a box.

Enjoy!

Tried to build it, but it failed in the configure stage, complaining about vector.h

which I have in my system.

no i havent .... explain to this idiot what you mean...lol

how do i compile the plugins

rommel · Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2002 1:56 am Post subject:

i cant even find a plugin directory.

..searching google i found refferance to this error messege but it was for rpm based licq pkgs that had the gui stuff left out by mistake....older licq versions.

anyone have a suggestion....i copied the ebuild from the link lin_matt gave and the patch, saved them and named them correctly using kate to the net-im/licq directory of portage (the patch to the files directory in the licq directory).

i then ran $emerge -s licq which showed the 1.2.0a version so i ran emerge licq...complained about no digest so i cd'd tot eh licq directory ran ebuild licq-1.2.0a.ebuild digest.

then ran emerge licq again and it seemed to compile fine, no errors till i tried to run it.

Try starting it like this:

licq -p kde-gui

The ebuild defaults to just building the kde (if your USE has kde set) plugin instead of the plain qt one. This will give ya a nice little dock icon in your panel.

There are actually four different gui plugins at the moment; kde, qt, console and gtk. Unfortunatly(sp) I can only get the kde and qt to compile on my gcc 3.1 box....

BTW, if you want the qt plugin also, just export USE="-kde qt" before emerging licq........

thanks ...the

If that command worked, just go into the settings on licq and check the "Use Dock Icon" option. That will give ya the panel icon.

If I'm not mistaken, kde is part of the default USE flags hence the kde plugin being compiled.

Actually, you should just be able to start it by typing in the licq command from now on. It stores the last plugin you used as the default. The USE="-kde qt" would give you the lib_qt-gui.so plugin which is the generic qt interface (without kde panel support)

I only needed to run with -p kde-gui once. Later it seems to remember, and start with it.

i am in fluxbox right now but it launched just using the licq shortcut in the menu. so all seems good now.

I can recommend sim otherwise if you want a icq-only icq client instead of gaim and the likes of it, sim also handles server-side contactlists and uses the new icq protocol.[/b]
