This also affects telepathy. Without commit revision 629 upstream, telepathy cannot create a skype account with telepathy-haze. Actually it shows a skype option under "telepathy create account.. other" but the window is empty and an error is produced on pressing OK.
I installed the libskypeso64.so and make libskype_dbus64.so by: svn checkout http://skype4pidgin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skype4pidgin-read-only cd skype4pidgin-read-only/ sudo apt-get install libpurple-dev kate Makefile remove -pc- from compiler in first lines, add add the following to the GLIB_CFLAGS in the make file: -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/ -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/ make libskype64.so make libskype_dbus64.so sudo cp sudo cp *so /usr/lib/purple-2/ Now texting almost works (some lines are missed) and voice/audio cannot be called, but this might be a telepathy bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970885 Title: Empathy 3.4 and pidgin-skype To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/skype4empathy/+bug/970885/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
