myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: NEW DSL AIM-1.5.dsl ---BUT---

I will take a look and see what M$N has in the way of messenger software for Linux and see what I can do about getting it working with DSL. If they have Linux software, I will try and make a .dsl extension and write something up on it, but seeing as how I am fairly new at this, I can't promise anything.

M$N messanger is not available for Linux, but the latest version of GAIM ssupports it.

Ummm...nevermind. I figured out how to load the latest GTK2 for dsl and the GTK2 version of GAIM. It's working pretty well. Now if I could only figure out how to get the wmweather+2.9 configured...

How hard would it be to build GAIM into a .uci extension??

Older laptops have a hard time getting the GTK2 and then GAIM DSL (well mine does anyway)

doobit: Try my amsn.dsl out. Try it! Let me know if you have any problems with it. I plan on releasing it after I get everything worked out. Also, just to let you know, this installs parts of tcltk to be able to run.

Right now, most of the actual amsn application files are going into the /home/dsl/.msn-0_94 directory. I think I should change this; it seems silly to keep them there. I linked from /usr/bin so that you can still run through the command prompt by typing amsn, but I don't know if I should keep things where they are?

--EDIT--

I just noticed that amsn is already in the UCI section of the dsl repository!

Good Luck,

Thanks Fuzzy. I'll give it a try!
