Compiling libpurple for Android


I want to implement libpurple in android to integrate all the IM chat support to Android application, for that I'm using following links to work with:

Compiling libpurple on Android

Following is the repository for android [soc.2012.android repository for android]

But problem is that, I have downloaded the full repository but as suggested in Compilation steps, there is no "android/workspace" folder downloaded from the server to my PC.


Solution

  • To get the Android code I run:

    hg clone https://hg.pidgin.im/soc/2012/michael/android/ android
    

    This gets me a copy of the whole repository in the folder android. Then to switch to the Android branch I'll run the command:

    hg checkout soc.2012.android
    

    At which point I can then see the folder with the Android workspace in.
