Hello,

I try to run aMSN with eTCL (http://www.evolane.com) for many reasons (ARM processor, litle amont of memory, linux etc. ), but I have problems with TkCxImage.

To get ride of this problem I would like experiment 2 solutions :

 1 - Using aMSN 0.94. I expect that it does not have this problem (no TkCxImage image in this version ? I'm not sure..). But I don't now how to get the aMSN0.94 sources.
 2 - Download TkCxImage and compile it for RAM processor (this solution use last aMSN sources)

After many reseach with google I don't know :
 - how to get aMSN0.94 sources ! From the SVN ? But, how get a particular release (0.94) ?
 - I don't now how to get TkCxImage.

thanks for your help

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/amsn/amsn-0_94.tar.gz

Tkcximage is inside the amsn directory in tarball > 0.94

Hi
which device are you trying to compile this on ? which one using the ARM processor ?
I could maybe compile it for you if you want (I would just need the rootstrap for that device).
I have an Nokia N800 and N770 for which I can build aMSN. I tried a few weeks ago, but it was no use because I tried Tcl/Tk with hildonized gnocl, which didn't have a hildonized Tk, in other words, you won't get the the virtual keyboard on input, and no icon in the taskbar so you can't switch from one window to another, and if you loose a window (minimized or a dialog opens), you have no way to get back the old window.
I just searched again and new Tcl/Tk implementation have been made with hildon compatibility, I will try those tomorrow hopefully. take a look here :
tcl/tk with gnocl : http://maemo.org/downloads/product/gnocl
maemoTk : http://www.geocities.jp/ono_tetsu/gnocl/doc/maemoTk/maemoTk.html
plain Tcl/Tk 8.4 with hildon support : https://garage.maemo.org/projects/tcltk/

I'll try the plain tcl/tk with hildon and maemoTk and see how aMSN works with those two.
I'll keep you posted.

Hey there, I just managed to compile amsn for the N800.. you can see screenshots here : http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/~kakaroto/n800/
it's so cool! Smiley it's a bit slow, but definitely usable, you would only need to :
1 - collapse the 'offline' group in the contact list
2 - hide the buttonbar in the chat windows (otherwise, you won't read much if you have the virtual keyboard)

it would be nice to remove the 'top' bar where it says who you're chatting with, and maybe also make it not use tabbed chats since it takes up space. Otherwise, as you can see in the screenshot, it's pretty nice. (again, only problem is that the virtual keyboard takes too much space (half the screen?))

I have the .deb for amsn, but it won't install because it depends on tcltls, I had to compile that one manually too, but it doesn't create a deb file, so I manually copied the file on the device to the right place, and I launched amsn directly from the directory I compiled it in, so I didn't install it. In the end, it worked.
I could waste a bit more time trying to make a debian file out of tcltls, or I could simply give you a tarball with tcltls that you can extract in /usr/lib and remove the dependency on tcltls from the amsn deb file, so you would install amsn.deb and extract tcltls.tar.gz and you're done.
