[NEW] Mercury

moret · 2005-05-02 10:41:23

I did the PKGBUILD of this great Java Based MSN Client:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … Packages=0

Bye!

miqorz · 2005-05-02 16:41:05

Hmm, does the linux client support webcams?

-Anders · 2005-05-03 06:45:34

It does support recieving webcam (With MSN), and sending if you use the video conference tool.
However you will need to download some extra libraries for that to work. There's some more information here: http://mercury.to/index.php?page=Wiki&w … Conference

tmadhavan · 2005-05-03 11:57:12

Umm... the splash screen works here, but after that it just hangs.

Any ideas?

polarrr · 2005-05-03 12:29:54

For some reason I can't even build it. makepkg just hangs at Preparing SILENT Mode Installation... dialog. Maybe something wrong with java, but not sure.

Hello everybody. I have updated and modified it for webcam/video-conference support. It works great. This is the first IM for Linux that supports webcam, as far as i know. So here is the PKGBUILD

Well, moret, it seems I always run into you

I tried to modify the build to make it work with the latest 1709_RC10 build, adding all webcam support. It should work (even though there are a couple of things to be fixed), but I have a problem with a file, "Video Conference Files.zip". This seems the only source not on bittorrent, which can't be used to build. And this file fails to pass makepkg's test because of whitespaces, which makepkg itself treats as " ", but have to be written as %20. The use of quotes/backslashes does not help.
Are there any other PKGBUILDs with whitespace in their sources? Just to see how they handle the problem... Should this be handled as a bug?
That's my output:

Wow, legout, you beat me
Where did you find that rar source? Still, the problem with whitespaces remains...

Your error seems to be a "copy/paste" Problem. Open your PKGBUILD and look if it´s really similar to the one I posted . Especially look that all "}{" are right.
