23:09 -!- Irssi: Starting query in iphone with Arminius
        23:09 [Arminius] You've gotten gettext and glib working, critical parts of libpurple, 
        but I'm going to be honest, I don't think I can do it and I think that 
        maybe - just maybe - you could

We have a great chat client up here at: apolloim
A project that was worth helping out with, they are doing some amazing things.
Hope this helps guys!

(p.s. this code probably will only work for them)

UPDATE 7-09-2007

ApolloIM first login call backs completed!

DNS is still sickly - here is the hack:

# grep login /etc/hosts
64.12.161.153 login.oscar.aol.com

UPDATE 6-09-2007

SSL fixed.  The required libs are above ssl.v3.so.tgz, they need to go in ~/.purple/plugins

# pwd
/private/var/root/.purple
# ls -ltra plugins/
total 3260
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2178320 Sep  6 14:20 ssl-gnutls.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1156880 Sep  6 14:20 ssl.so

For now edit /etc/hosts and add the following (yes I know this is an *evil* hack):

65.54.179.216 nexus.passport.com

then MSN can connect, resolver is still poorly for CNAMES, can't work it out yet,
but for now this hack shows that we can connect to MSN w/o any issues so far:

Even managed an online chat with pumpkin - cheers mate!



UPDATE [0.7] 3-09-2007

File xfer of a netstat binary between two iphones, each running native finch,
one in Boston, one in Austin, Tx:


x (23:08:06) You canceled the transfer of netstat                      x
x (23:08:39) Offering to send netstat to nsgn-iphone                   x
x (23:08:56) core-boston: ok proxy off - trying to send again          x
x (23:09:46) Transfer of file netstat complete                         x
x (23:09:56) core-boston: RESULT!!!!                                   x
x (23:09:58) nsgn-iphone: YEAH                                         x 
x______________________________________________________________________x


and the binary worked on the iphone in Texas :))

Thanks nsgn!


UPDATE [0.6] 3-09-2007

Native AIM session via finch on iphone - I think my work here is done :)







UPDATE [0.5] 3-09-2007

First AIM chat held today via purple.  I needed to map keys for F10 and F11 in OSX Terminal.app like this:



Then I could get my buddy list going:

How can I add a buddy, or a chat, or a group?

    * Select a group in the buddylist.
    * Press F11 to bring out the context menu. Select "Add Buddy" or "Add Chat". 

UPDATE [0.4] 3-09-2007

Finch IRC working, now I have arrow keys.  Takes a while to join and puts cpu at 100% for a few seconds ;-)

14:45 [ctcp(corepurple)] VERSION 
14:45 CTCP VERSION reply from corepurple: Purple IRC





UPDATE [0.3] 3-09-2007

Arrow keys are now working!  

this is a great resource!

I needed this from the page above:

My arrow keys are not working. What can I do?

* Make sure there is a correct terminfo setting for your terminal. 

For example, try setting $TERM to "screen"

screen worked for me.  Now I can use the arrow keys!


UPDATE [0.2] 3-09-2007


Note for finch and Terminal.app:  You need to enter Terminal's Window Settings, then select Keyboard. 
Make sure the "Use option key as meta key" checkbox is enabled. On a Mac keyboard, the ALT key is 
the OPTION key, so this will properly map the meta key strokes


Result! - AIM connected using finch!:

(dns resolution is still broken) - hard code server name to login.messaging.aol.com

again same cname issues as I've seen before - will fix/hack this up later on

# ./netstat -n

UPDATE [0.1] 3-09-2007

Native finch up - needs more work though:






UPDATE 2-09-2007

Libpurple connecting just fine to IRC:


19:25 -!- corepurple [root@freedom-C5381EC5.wickedpsyched.net]
19:25 -!-  ircname  : iPhone irc.osx86.hu :purple
19:25 -!-  channels : #hackint0sh

Threading fixed (I think) IRC now working on toolchain v1.0

see purple-02-09-2007.tar.gz above

Looks like this so far:


# ./nullclient

Used the following configs:

pidgin-2.1.1

  $ ./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin --prefix=/Developer/SDKs/iPhone/ --disable-gtkui --disable-perl 
--with-static-prpls=oscar,irc,jabber --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-consoleui --enable-debug --enable-mcheck

glib-2.6.1

  $ ./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin --prefix=/Developer/SDKs/iPhone/ --enable-static --disable-shared 
--cache-file=cachefile --enable-threads=no

Added this to gthread.c:

#define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD 4

and this cachefile:

glib_cv_stack_grows=no
glib_cv_working_bcopy=yes
glib_cv_sane_realloc=yes
glib_cv_have_strlcpy=no
glib_cv_va_val_copy=yes
glib_cv_rtldglobal_broken=no
glib_cv_uscore=no
glib_cv_use_pid_surrogate=yes
ac_cv_func_posix_getpwuid_r=no
ac_cv_func_nonposix_getpwuid_r=no
ac_cv_func_printf_unix98=yes
ac_cv_func_vsnprintf_c99=no
ac_cv_func_poll=no
ac_cv_header_sys_poll_h=no

and the other fixes below for dns

and these notes for pkg-config related to building all of this

DNS update (need to patch this for DNS to work):

nullclient issues

dynamic libs on the phone for libjabber et. al. clearly don't work:

# ./nullclient
libpurple initialized. 
Select the protocol [0-1]: 


with static they do as they should on the iphone:

# ./nullclient
libpurple initialized. 
0: AIM 
1: ICQ 
2: IRC 
3: XMPP

Select the protocol [0-3]: 

we need to build as follows after the regular build fails:

[imac:pidgin-2.1.1/libpurple/example] % /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/bin/gcc -g 
-I/opt/local/include -Wl,-syslibroot,/Users/core/toolchain/heavenly/ 
-L/usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib -o nullclient nullclient.o 
-L/usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib -lintl -liconv -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -liconv -lm 
../../libpurple/.libs/libpurple.a -lresolv -framework IOKit -framework CoreFoundation 
../protocols/oscar/liboscar.a ../protocols/irc/libirc.a ../protocols/jabber/libjabber.a

however we are still fighting with glib versions
 
working hard on 2.6.1 glib, and 1.4.1 gettext, as they seem to be in the codebase.  

svn co svn://svn.adiumx.com/libgaim/trunk libpurple

Sadly with 2.6.1 and new compiler we produce broken nullclients as above.  That binary is no good...

-bash-3.2# ./nullclient
Bus error

will need to revert the toolchain tomorrow!
