purple-bitly's Introduction

purple-bitly -- Bit.ly Short URL Plugin for libpurple/Pidgin
by John Bellone <[email protected]>

SUMMARY
	This plugin was designed during the snow storm of December 2009. The
purpose of the plugin is simple: I wanted the ability to use my bit.ly account
to shorten a URL that I want to send to a friend during an instant messenger
conversation. Because the bit.ly service includes access to the stellar REST
API over HTTP I was able to develop this very quickly.

    	 Pidgin plugins are quite easy to install, but a little bit more of
a pain in the ass to actually get compiled. The documentation is a little
sparse (and outdated) but the gentlemen (and women) on the Pidgin IRC channel
got me up to speed better than any Wiki could ever. Kudos for them for their
quick answers.

purple-bitly's Issues

INSTALL for win32

  1. Follow instructions on Pidgin wiki for "How do I compile a Plugin? (Windows)" and Pidgin for Windows Build Instructions
  2. Assuming your build environment is now in "C:\pidgin-devel" - with "pidgin-2.7.11" & "win32-dev" as sub-directories of it, download and extract curl-7.21.4-devel-mingw32.zip to "C:\pidgin-devel\win32-dev\curl-7.21.4-devel-mingw32"
  3. Create a directory, under "c:\pidgin-devel\pidgin-2.7.11\libpurple\plugins", call it "bitly" or whatever you like, and copy the following Makefile.mingw in it:
    If you used a different path (or newer version) for curl in step 2, be sure to edit it in the head of the said Makefile.
  4. cd /c/pidgin-devel/pidgin-2.7.11/libpurple/plugins/bitly
    make -f Makefile.mingw bitly.dll
  5. Copy bitly.dll to C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins (or your .purple\plugins in your AppData directory)
  6. Download curl-7.21.4-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32 and extract the three dll files in it (libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll) to "C:\Program Files\Pidgin"
    Note: The three dll's exist by the same name in the "bin" directory of the archive which you downloaded in step 2, DO NOT USE THEM, the plugin won't work! You must extract them from the archive linked in step 6.
