Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

it shouldn't give you any errors If you just follow my tutorial and dont skip any command

I'm sure you just didn't copy the files outside the MyDocs or you didn't gave permissions.

Re: MSN on the N9/N950!
 

I am far from a programmer so I have to wonder... What's gonna happen if one day a GUI gets officially released to support MSN? Is it going to interfere with what we are doing right now? The N900 was not released with MSN support, but it got released later on and all the scripting had to be removed...

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

I didn't skip any steps.
I did have to improvise and alter from your tutorial in some steps:

I experienced the same issue as someone else, where root wasn't able to [mkdir], so i logged out and made the folder as a user.
I then copied the files outside mydocs afterwards.

When i typed in [chmod 777 *] it gave me an error, so i left out the *

[./configure] was still not working so I tried [sh ./configure] that worked, but with errors.

[make] and [make install] had errors which I ignored.

I'm still stuck at this step where I type:
/home/user/MyDocs/msn # dpkg -i butterfly_0.5.15+git20111122-1_armel.deb

This is the result:
Aegis rejecting butterfly_0.5.15+git20111122-1_armel.deb: Could not open debian archive aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected

I might just give this a miss... Seems way beyond my scope x.x

edit: adding [telepathy-] to the [butterfly_0.5.15+git20111122-1_armel.deb] makes it work.. but I still can't get the final steps to work. :(

YEP! And there is no settings in the browser..

Re: MSN on the N9/N950!
 

Well that depends...

If Microsoft makes a 'windows live messenger' app as a self-contained thing, then I wouldn't be interested in it at all. One of the great features of maemo is the contacts/IM framework: every account merges into the global contacts, and the messages are all held together with the text messages.

If they made a proper plugin, then maybe. It wouldn't be that different than what we're doing here, and I'd definitely switch to it because it would be supported. But would MS make a telepathy plugin for the MSN protocol?? :roflollocopter:

I'm waiting for Felipe to port msn-pecan over though. That would pretty much solve the problem.

What kind of icons?

You mean the MSN Butterfly icon?
I can make one :)

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

No, that one's already there, and there's also a two-blue-men msn one too if you prefer. I've done a jabber one now, posting it in a new thread...

Re: MSN on the N9/N950!
 

i need help :(, i made all the steps but when i am going to enable my account it says that i can't because i used an invalid caracther ( @), when i check the list my email doesn't show property.. it shows like this: myemail_40hotmail_2ecom1 (_40 instead of @ and _2 instead of .) what i am doing wrong?

Re: MSN on the N9/N950!
 

The _40 and _2e are normal. Mine looks like this in 'mc-tool list':
butterfly/msn/myemail_40hotmail_2ecom0
That 1 at the end might mean you've got the account set up twice. Do you only see one butterfly with mc-tool list? How about in /home/user/.rtcom-accounts/accounts.cfg?

Re: MSN on the N9/N950!
 

mm well but for some reasons when i try to enable it give an error on the @ and on the . , it say invalid character and don't know why , and when i do mc-tool list i see 2 accounts, i try to remove one but i can't because i get the same error :/
