hi thanks for the hint! indeed, it might be a good idea to use openfire-c since it has some really nice features (such as screenshot upload, voice-chat support and file-transfer support -> WOW) I didn't know it exists, but I just had a look at it
the only downside I can see is that it's written in C so it was a bit difficult for me to figure out how call the functions (with the correct datatypes *me sighs*) from a c++ application I just hacked openfire-c's simple "client" (well, it only logs you in + shows the buddylist) so I can send messages to any user -> works :) (the way I did it is not very nice... but it works + I understand the code a bit better now.. :)) Another PLUS for openfire-c is that it is VERY well documented that small hacking session also made me understand c++ a bit better still, I would need someone to be my "mentor" who also could help developing the plugin :) Regards, Martin On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 12:48 PM, Andy Goossens <andygooss...@telenet.be> wrote: > On Sunday 01 February 2009 04:11:37 darklight wrote: >> PS: I mentioned "xfirelib" before - you can grab it here: >> http://xfirelib.sphene.net >> I know that project is dead, but I made it compile with gcc 4.3 >> (wasn't difficult) plus it still works (at least the functions I >> tried) - note: the coding style is pretty dirty, I used astyle to make >> it readable >> also gfire could be used as reference: >> http://sourceforge.net/projects/gfire it's not developed actively (or at >> least not that actively) - but it still might be a good reference > > I would not pick a dead project.
