purple-line

===========

libpurple (Pidgin, Finch) protocol plugin for LINE (http://line.me/) by Naver / LINE Corporation.

In current version, you should login with NAVER Account. (In-Korea regions)

Does it work?

-------------

Yes, to an extent. Here's Pidgin logged in to LINE, but it's not quite stable and featureful enough

to be used as one's main LINE client yet.

How to install

--------------

Make sure you have the required prerequisites:

* libpurple - probably available via package manager

* Apache Thrift compiler and C++ library - v0.9.1 should be stable. The Git version and OS packages

  are sometimes a bit iffy. Compiling by hand is your best bet.

* line_main.thrift - not included, must be placed in the project root directory. For the time being,

  you can acquire this file from the https://www.dropbox.com/s/9btem9lwuqo6vrk/line_main.thrift?dl=1

Then simply run:

    make

    make install

This will build and install the plugin into your home directory. Builds are only tested on

recent Ubuntu for now.
