Support for Linux?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be fantastic if this amazing plugin would be ported to a .so-file for 
Linux as well!

Okay, I got it to compile on OpenSuse 12.2 x86_64, using this command. I 
probably included far more than I needed to, but I didn't feel like doing the 
research on what was actually needed:

gcc libmightytext.c strptime.c -o libmightytext.so `pkg-config --cflags --libs 
glib-2.0` -I/usr/include/json-glib-1.0 -I/usr/include/libpurple -pthread 
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -lgthread-2.0 -lrt 
-lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 
-lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig 
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/include 
-I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 
-I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include 
-I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12 
-I/usr/include/libpng14 -lpurple -lglib-2.0 -ljson-glib-1.0 -g -O2 -shared -fPIC

mv libmightytext.so /usr/lib64/purple-2/libmightytext.so
mv mightytext16.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/mightytext.png
mv mightytext22.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/22/mightytext.png
mv mightytext48.png /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/48/mightytext.png

For me, it connected and works. The attached libmightytext.so is x86_64. The 
locations are probably different for other distributions, so you might do 
"locate libaim.so" and "locate 16/aim.png" to find the correct locations.

Here is a Makefile that works for debian wheezy. After compiling, copy the 
library to /usr/lib/pidgin/libmightytext.so

Compiled per instructions below, but when I log into it, I see my contact list 
filling up, then a message window opens, and all of pidgin crashes.  Not quite 
sure how to bypass this.

You probably received an MMS image. I've been having this problem lately too.

This plugin wouldn't load with telepathy-haze unless I specified the json 
library during linking (at least on Fedora 20).  I used the attached Makefile 
to build the shared library.  It doesn't really work though.  I see from the 
debug logs that it gets a list of contacts but then reports an internal error 
so it doesn't really work with empathy.  Didn't try pidgin by itself.  My guess 
is the following line is the source of the problem.

** (haze:5403): CRITICAL **: purple_find_buddy: assertion '(name != NULL) && 
(*name != '\0')' failed

I made the changes suggested here and created a repo on github:
