ralleria Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I found that amsn is an open source messenger client. It would be great to compile it for osX x86. Here are some links: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/index.php (the main project page) http://amsn.sourceforge.net/amsn_cvs.tar.gz (the latest CVS) http://tcl.sourceforge.net/ (the development page for tcl-dev, tk-dev; it is needed to compile amsn and can be compiled easily) http://www.amsn.xcoded.com/ (the mac client page) I tried to compile it with no luck, maybe someone out there can have a look at it. Compared to Adium, it has better file transfer and video conference support. the mac client works with Rosetta, but it is a bit slow.

suleiman Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 just like to add my request here. I use this app regularly add it's smoking hot. For everyone that doesn't know, if you've been looking for a way to get msn webcamming back on your machine, then aMSN is the way to go! (not even the Microsoft MSN client has webcamming features right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pu7o Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 For those of you who don't know, aMSN is written in TCL/TK, an interpreted language. Therefore there's no real reason (it's not even possible) to compile it - The official versions will work natively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chuck Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well, i've just downloaded amsn-0.95. i've tryd to build it, but that gave me an error. /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failedmake: *** [utils/TkCximage/src/TkCximage.cpp.so] Error 1 then i tryed this: wish ./amsn which give's this error: There's a problem loading a module of aMSN(TkCxImage) on this computer. You need to update your system to Mac OS 10.3.9 I'm curruntly running Mac OS X 10.4.3 (8F1111).. Any thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daenney Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 It's {censored} that you can't compile aMSN yourself, same is that it will run natively... aMSN for MacOSX is compiled as a PPC application hence wil not run natively on OSX x86 Well oke not exactly, the problem is that probably the tarball also contains wish with it. You need to install wish and Tcl on your OSX system and get a Tcl/tk only release and then it will run natively. Now, read the install file about how to compile it: In order to install amsn, or even to be able to launch it, you will need to compile it first.To do so, you must first configure the package by executing the command > ./configure You must have the tcl-dev and tk-dev packages installed on your system, please refer to your system package management software or website in order to find these packages and to install them prior to running the ./configure script. Once the configure script finished without any error, you can proceed with the compilation, it is as simple as typing : > make You can now launch amsn by typing > ./amsn Or you can install it with the command > make install Then you can use the > amsn command to launch future sessions of amsn. You can also create a .deb and .rpm package by launching respectively the command > make deb and > make rpm For any other help, please refer to the FAQ or the website at http://amsn.sourceforge.net or visit the forums of amsn, but make sure you search for an answer to your question before asking it, it might have already been answered. have fun. That really only applies to linux as far as I'm aware... Have a look at Apple downloads for wish and Tcl and get your hands on a Tcl/Tk only release of aMSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
