This plugin requires bitlbee-libpurple #173

Closed y-viel closed 5 years ago

This is not documented anywhere. Please add this to the description, so that other people might be spared headaches as to why the plugin is not recognized. It won't work with bitlbee alone.

Thank you very much :)

Hi, this plugin never required bitlbee-libpurple to work and I don't have it installed on any of my machines. Are you sure you are not confusing this one with https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord

y-viel commented 5 years ago

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Yes, I'm very sure that this is the plugin :) When using bitlbee, the plugin doesn't show up in the list. Using bitlbee-purple, it does. I have tested this on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine, using the bitlbee repos.

I'm using this plugin on Debian stable (9, Stretch). Like sm00th, I don't have bitlbee-libpurple installed, it works fine without that.

Definitely strange. Maybe you forgot sudo make install, or you (or your distro) changed some config in strange ways? For example, maybe you've got an inappropriate Protocols= setting in /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf?

y-viel commented 5 years ago

No, the "Protocols" line is commented out. Question: Is it possible to compile the binary on a machine, and copy it to another one, provided both are running the same architecture?

Alcaro commented 5 years ago

If both run same distro and release, that's fine. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll run into a few incompatible library versions.

Worth a try. Worst case, it won't load.

Very well then. Thank you for your support!
