README

        
A campfire plugin for Pidgin, Adium and other libpurple based messengers.

# Building

    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential make libpurple-dev git-core

    $ git clone git://github.com/jrfoell/campfire-libpurple.git

    $ cd campfire-libpurple

    $ sudo make

    $ sudo make install

And now, restart Pidgin.

# Configuration

Now that it installed, here’s how to configure it for your account:

 * Open “Manage Accounts”.

 * Click “New…”

 * Select the “Campfire” protocol.

 * Enter your username and the hostname of your campfire server.

 * Get an API key from the “my info” link on your campfire server’s web interface. (In short: use a web browser to get this info.)

 * Enter the API key in the “Advanced” tab.

 * Save the account.

Theoretically, you should now be able to chat on Campfire using Pidgin. Here’s how to join a room:

 * In the Pidgin Buddy List, select menu item Buddies > “Join a chat…”

 * Select the “Campfire” protocol from the dropdown list.

 * Click “Room List” to get a list of rooms available on your Campfire server.

 * Select the room you wish to join, then click “Join Room”. A new chat window should open up to that room.

 * You may have to close the “Join a chat” dialog box.
