About macOS installation #109

Closed tognas closed 2 years ago

tognas commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I try to install this system with Macos but

cmake.. "purple-gowhatsapp" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt."

I get an error. I don't know how to create the CMakeLists.txt file. And how do I include pidgin in the project? In which directory should I run it?

Thanks.

I have not yet released the whatsmeow rewrite. I want to do so later today with the rewrite becoming the official version 1.0.0. Until then, you need to check out the git branch "whatsmeow" explicitly.

Please note that I have no idea if this will work on MacOS. As far as I understood Apple's license policies, I would need to buy an Apple Mac for testing purposes. It would cost me at least 400 € and a fair amount of time just to try it.

Just FYI, you can't use libpurple plugins in Adium without writing a separate Adium plugin that loads jt

I was not aware of that requirement. Thank you for the information. I removed the part recommending Adium from my answer.

How can I create CMakeLists.txt on windows or ubuntu? @hoehermann @EionRobb

hoehermann commented 2 years ago

CMakeLists.txt is given in the whatsmeow branch which is now the main branch of this repository.
