Telega: how to enable appindicator when installed from repo (Straight)? #255

Closed WorldsEndless closed 3 years ago

WorldsEndless commented 3 years ago

First off, Telega is awesome! I very much would like the appindicators to work, but am not sure what is needed. I've installed from my repos libappindicator3-dev, as mentioned in the comments in the code, but don't know whether my telega was built properly -- I did not build it, but installed it from the repo. Is it possible to have libappindicator working with a repo install instead of a custom build?

Telega Setup

OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Emacs: GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.22, cairo version 1.16.0) Telega: telega v0.7.12 (TDLib v1.7.0) (telega-server v0.7.5)

Current Behavior

No appindicator when Telega installed from repo

Steps to Reproduce

1.(telega-appindicator-mode)

  1. Nothing appears

Possible Solution

Somehow make appindicators possible on repo installs?

To check whether your telega server is compiled with appindicator, run:

$ ~/.telega/telega-server -h
Version 0.7.5, with appindicator
...

If you have that with appindicator, then you compiled all things right.

In case you've installed libappindicator after telega has been already installed, then you need to recompile telega-server, use M-x telega-server-build RET and check results in the "*Shell Command Output*" buffer

This was TREMENDOUSLY useful! Thank you! This should definitely be in the documentation. I found that I didn't have appindicators, rebuilt as easy as that, and now I'm good!
