Please, install both deb packages and report back, if it works I'll upload it to extras-devel.

After some tiny tweaking I have successfully build the telegram-purple https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple for Nokia N900.

Telegram-purple is a Libpurple plugin that adds support for the Telegram messenger. Its still in an early (pre-alpha) development stage, but already provides basic chat functionality and group chats.

The plugin is based on the library Libtgl, which was written by Vitaly Valtman mail@vysheng.ru and others, see (http://github.com/vysheng/tgl)

You can install the package from extras-devel repository using Application Manager or:

Code:

apt-get install purple-protocol-telegram

Works for me (it even displays incoming photos). May (or may not) crash a lot. Try it.

Hey this is cool. It works just fine.
BTW somebody tried to send me a sticker and a stickers bot appeared in the contact list...why?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin

What about emojis? We can unpack these on ~/.purple/smileys or it will waste rootfs space?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin

Is it possible to use it through telepathy-haze in Maemo Conversations or should I have Pidgin installed?

Seems that it has to be like this. It's a plugin not a standalone app.

They should work just fine. I'll make a deb later maybe. For now, put them in /opt and symlink to ~/.purple/smileys.

You should ask telepathy-haze maintainers. I have tried but it asks for password and there is no password authentication in Telegram.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin

I understand that in the SMS verification process a popup should appear, asking for the verification code in order to use Telegram. However, I am not seeing any pop-up window and I have no idea what is causing this. I also wonder if any other users experience this problem. My N900 can otherwise receive SMS normally and all carrier setting check out ok.

Using Pidgin 2.10.11 running on SSU enabled Maemo 5 v21.2011.38 purple-protocol-telegram version 0.7-1

Thanks in advance.

Huh. Seems like it's broken. I'll try to build latest Git version and I'll let you know if it's working.
