This will make the solution of the problem very easy. We can just have two ways of building libamsn2_tcl: 1. Link libamsn2_tcl against libtelepathy, and have libmsn linked with D-BUS bindings (thus being a Telepathy CM). 2. Link libamsn2_tcl against libmsn directly (calls to libtelepathy functions are changed to libmsn function calls simply by including one specialized header file that translates all names). > in this case, we'll create a libmsn and we'll have it wrapped into Tcl > functions, we'll have a one application caling function APIs (Tcl stubs > calling the C libmsn functions)... and once and if telepathy gets to the > state where it is 100% multiplatform, THEN we'll reconsider it.. We can just use different build options depending of the platform. (That is, the one with Telepathy for Linux, and the one without Telepathy for Windows, and the Mac guys may choose which one they use for Mac). In fact we just jet the configure script set the build option based on availability of D-BUS. So people building aMSN on a Linux system without D-BUS would even get a working aMSN. > > note also that the plugins will be Tcl code and they will be given a > detailed API that they can use to perform their tasks, no functionality > is lost...
