Signal on PostmarketOS

[nieral]

I've started integrating libpurple-signald into chatty. You have to register manually and as of now you cannot start a conversation or participate in group chats. But you can at least answer when someone messages you. I hope I can get it into a usable state, but my time is limited.

Thanks for your efforts! I have issues building your package, which is related to cmake. Not sure where to post my question so I leave it here:

when I run meson build it quits with the following error message (this is the last part from meson-log.txt):

Code:

Run-time dependency libebook-contacts-1.2 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

meson.build:87:0: ERROR: Dependency "libebook-contacts-1.2" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

libebook-contacts-1.2 is installed (as part of evolution) but it is located in /usr/lib and not in the folders cmake is looking by default (see above: -- CMake lib search paths:...).

I tried: export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH='usr/lib' to add this folder but it had no effect.
Modifying the cmakelists.txt is a possibilty, but, according to some comments, not advised and I honestly have no idea what to add to this fie.


Any Idea?
