[Bug 970885] Re: Empathy 3.4 and pidgin-skype

[George Moutsopoulos]

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.
