ExperimentalXEP-0280: Message Carbons (v0.13.2) plugin for libpurple (Pidgin, Finch, etc.).

It enables you to have a consistent view of both sent and received messages between all devices which are online at the same time.

You can find compiled versions of this plugin for both Linux and Windows onthe GitHub releases page.

To get the latest build for both operating systems you can head over tothe artifacts page of this project's current build on AppVeyor.

On startup, it sends a feature discovery request to the server and automatically enables message carbons if the server lists it among its supported features.

If something is not working right, consult the debug window.

1. Install the dependencies (libpurple-dev,libglib2.0-dev,libxml2-dev)
2. git clone https://github.com/gkdr/carbons.git
3. cd carbons
4. make
5. A finalmake install should copy the plugin into your libpurple plugin dir, ormake install-home to copy it into~/.purple/plugins.

Install dependencies using Homebrew.

brew install glib libxml2

Get a copy of the libpurple soure (from Pidgin), and prepare it so we can use itduring the build.

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main pidgincd pidginhg checkout v2.10.12./configure $(./configure --help | grep -i -- --disable | awk '{ print $1 }')

make LIBPURPLE_CFLAGS=-I${PWD}/pidgin/libpurple LIBPURPLE_LDFLAGS=/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpurple.framework/libpurple LJABBER=

You can make use of theMakefile.mingw by EionRobb.For this, you have to set up a build environment as described inhttps://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin.

Note that this only synchronizes messages of devices that are online at the same time - for history synchronization, MAM is needed.There is currently no libpurple plugin for this.
