aMSN

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.

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)

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 failed

make: *** [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?

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
