Heres a nice little app that could easily replace gaim on many computers. Only problem is that it has some dependency problems so I haven't been able to manually install it yet. It requires gecko-sharp and (as far as I got to) tapioca-sharp (which is where I got stumped because it depends upon mono-devel (the error I recieve while ./configuring is: checking for MONO_DEPENDENCY... configure: error: You need to install mono-devel package). But in anycase, this is a suggestion to add TWO (not one) packages to portage. net-im/landell and dev-dotnet/tapioca-sharp (or net-im/tapioca-sharp, whatever floats yer boat). I'm not a developer so I wouldn't know where to start, I went through the ./configure file and it's all greek to me. You can get landell at http://sourceforge.net/projects/landell and tapioca-sharp (via svn) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tapioca-voip Happy hunting (if anyones interested)!

if you are interested to help please show up in #gentoo-voip in freenode. It is already in the voip overlay and being worked on :) Not ready but to have the files on your computer you can use: emerge layman layman -a voip
Created attachment 112609 [details] landell's emerge failure log I can't understand why does the landell ebuild [1] have two "emake" and two "emake install", and why is "|| die" commented. Anyway, there are two missing dependencies, as Tåkesinn said: gecko-sharp and tapioca-sharp. I was able to build them, but not landell. I'm attaching the log. 1. http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/voip/browser/trunk/net-voip/landell/landell-0.1_pre20060830.ebuild?rev=389
Created attachment 113227 [details, diff] add webbrwsr and idom to include path
i managed to build landell amnually with the patch posted above but it fails when i run it anyway i changed the dual emake with an "emake -j1" but it fails on install with a sandbox violation. The icons path is hardcoded somewhere.
Created attachment 113228 [details] My modified ebuild
I'm currently updating and adding new telepathy related ebuilds in voip overlay. I compiled succesfully landell against xulrunner, but not against firefox yet due to the path thing. So, please, test it ;-)
Upstream is not active anymore. Please, reopen this bug if they ever do a new release.
