Gaim Plugin Request

[Joe]

Shut up, I've suspended my effort indefinantly. I'll be back at it in a year or so. The only way to stop me is to write one first. GO!

[MyndFyre]

I changed it to a *char. Anyhow, I give up. Again. Heres my code:

Why not to a char*?

[rabbit]

Because Joe doesn't know C, duh.

@Joe: I quit DK almost a year ago :\

[Joe]

Hee hee. k.

You'll never finish it! :(

[MyndFyre]

Correct, but he'll put five minutes of effort into it in a year.

[Joe]

Correct, but he'll put five minutes of effort into it in a year.

I slaved over that thing for five hours. I'm sorry to say this, but if its so easy, do it.

PLEASE!!!

=p

[Sidoh]

He never said it was easy.  (Though from the looks of it, with a sufficient amount of C++ knowledge it would be).

http://www.ews.uiuc.edu/~rbalik2/musicinfo/musicinfo.c (Ergot linked me to it)

But thats the source code. I'm not on Windows, and I don't know how to compile a DLL from that even if I were.

[Ergot]

Because I didn't want to bump this topic ;/ ? Thanks for ruining it :P

[Joe]

You're welcome.

[iago]

Bumping a topic is fine if you have useful information to add to it.

I have chatted with Yoni about possibly using his code for yPlugin2 in conjunction with code I find (or Ergot finds) to create a plugin for Gaim (on Windows) that has most, if not all, of the features as yPlugin2. Hopefully I'll actually do it.

[Newby]

You don't know enough C/C++ to do it. :)

Having Yoni do it = cheating.

Nobody says modifying open source code provided to you is cheating. yPlugin2 is licensed under the GSL:

Oh, and with newby's vast, gigantic, amazing amount of C/++ knowledge and the resources at hand, it wouldn't be that damn complicated to do.
