gaim-e-developer — A mailing list to discuss the development of gaim-e

Re: [Gaim-e-developer] GAIM-E problems

[<gai...@li...>]

Alright boys and girls. I think I have figured out the
problem.  Well at least the problem regarding
unresolved symbols on loading.  it involves a little
hard work on your part.  well not hard really.  In the
Makefile add "-lgpgme" after LIBS=  
that should take care of all of the little problems. 
If that doesn't work, then it is because of where you
have installed the headers and libs.  It may be a
little more difficult.  If anyone has problems now,
just email the list. 
Alright, I'm also attaching (if the list deal lets me)
the latest gaim-e code.  I've tried to rewrite the
passphrase request gui.  Don't tell anyone, but I
stole it from gpa.  How about you all try it and tell
me if it works. 
peace

Hum, I uninstalled 0.3.5, downloaded 0.3.4 and compiled/
installed from source.  Still get that same error when
trying to load the plugin.

Yea, I got that part fixed... we talked about that in

I am getting ready to install Linux on another one of
my computers... a nice fresh install... I will see if
it is some sort of library hell with my current install.
My current install of Linux is Redhat 6.2 with most of
it ripped out and replaced with 7.2's packages <shiver>
its a mess.

Thanks,

Brent

[Gaim-e-developer] problems

[Eric K. <nav...@ya...>]

Alright, Brent has been asking some other questions. 
It seems that the email list doesn't auto reply to the
list.  Which sucks, I'll have to see if I can change
that. But here is all he said to me in two emails,
then I'll try to answer after that

//*******************************************
Tried to install gaim-e had a few problems.  Here is
what I did.

Notes:

1.  unzip/untar archive in temp dir
2.  cp * /gaim-0.56/plugins
3.  ./compile
4.  errors about there being too few arguments to the
function
    serv_send_im().  
5.  Comment out all occurances of the function
serv_send_im()
    aprox 6, then save gaim-e.c
6.  ./compile again
7.  gaim-e.so builds
8.  copy gaim-e.so into gaim plugin directory
9.  when try to load I get the error in gaim,

"/usr/lib/gaim/gaim-e.so: undefined symbol:
gpgme_set_passphrase_cb"

Just an FYI, before messing with your code I did not
have gpgme, I did
download the latest source tarball of gpgme and
compile/install it 
using
the standard./configure, make, make install.  I did
start a new shell 
at
that point in case that library added environment
variables.  Gaim was
restarted a couple of timesalso (just in case).
Short of wading into your code I can't think of
anything else to do
tonight ;). Girlfriend fell asleep so I decided I
would get up and play
with your code a little hehe.... to tired to look at C
code... I've
looked at 1000s of lines over the last couple of days
<ick>.
Anyways, peace.  If you need further info, please
contact me.  Thanks,
Brent

Hey sorry to bug ya yet again, but...

After playing with the plugin a little bit more... I
still
haven't found out how to fix the load error (when
trying to
load the plugin from within gaim) I did however get
gaim to
segfault a couple of times, damnit, sorry I did not
have the
whole thing open in gdb.  I compiled gaim with
debuging 
options and loaded it in gdb but I'll be damned if I
can
reproduce the segfault I played with it for about half
an hour.
Weird stuff.

Thanks,

Brent

BTW, if you are interested I can bring another guy in
on this,
he is also a CS student and pretty smart when in comes
to the
math side of things (and good with encryption
algorithms).  His
name is Brent Woodruff (he goes to appstate too).

//****************************************

Damn, you ask a lot of questions. Alright, let's see. 

First off.  While I can't test if it works, I can load
and unload the plugin successfully.  I did see on the
gnupg page that there is a newer version of gpgme out.
 I have 0.3.4 and it works fine.  So it might be the
way you installed the src. "gpgme_set_passphrase_cb"
is used by gpgme whenever it needs a passphrase but
doesn't know one. so it's expected that you can use
that function to get it.  It might be taken out in the
latest gpgme, I'm not sure. I'll look into it.  I'd
also go and try 0.3.4 and see if that works.  If you
have debian, they are easy installs.  
gaim segfaults with the gaim-e plugin whenever you are
trying to close gaim.  I tried to write a memory clean
up function and it doesn't work so well. I think it
gets a little over zealous and starts freeing make
believe memory.  
I wouldn't go and get rid of the serv_send_im function
calls.  they are pretty much needed.  How they look
depends on what version of gaim you have.  If you are
running with something greater then 0.54 then you need
the code I put in cvs last night.  basically the gaim
guys added another variable for us to pass to the
plugin.  In our case "-1" needs to be added as the
third variable.  So now we have four being passed. 
that should work.  
Like I said, I can load and unload the plugin but
can't log in and send messages.  So that's as far as I
can test.  I'll look into to seeing of the newest
version of gpgme dumped the passphrase_cb.  
As for your friends. Yeah sure, I'm all about people
helping on the project.  I'd like to start out with
you guys sending me some patches and working on in
that way.  If I see that you are dedicated to it, I'll
add you to the developers list.  I've found that
people loose heart with gaim-e in a couple of days. 
But sure, I'm always game for more people.  I know
what I would like to get done for me to be happy with
v1.0  Then from there, I expect v2.0 to have a lot
more bells and whistles.  Plus I want to start to see
if it works with all of the other protocols.

[Gaim-e-developer] Current status.

[Eric K. <nav...@ya...>]

Well because you were all on the edges of your seats. 
I took care of this.  It was a simple fix, the gaim
bastards went and changed serv_send_im on us.  It was
SeanEgan. 
/me lights the torch and grabs a pitchfork.
Alright, so I finally got off my ass and updated cvs. 
(I would go into my long story about a bad winmodem,
but no one cares) 
Alright, so here's the rub.  I dumped the gpg forking
calls.  (I think I could just get rid of the entire
header file, not sure) Yep, that looks like it could
go.  I replaced the calls with gpgme.  It's a little
to get used to it, but the api is nice.  
I've also started to create a configure function.  The
idea would be to allow people to pick which secret key
they wanted to use, and use the key id instead of a
username for others to find their key.  Well, right
now, all I have done is the nice pretty window.  Oh,
it will put in all of your secret keys, but it doesn't
save any of the info.  
Things that need work:
1. the config gui.
2. making the passphrase popup only when needed, not
right at the begining. 
3. fixing the segfault when you close gaim. It's on
the clean up function.
4. Fixing the random bug with rc5 and messages of 8x
chars in length (x=any number greater then 0)

Well that's it for now.  hope this finds you in good
health.

[Gaim-e-developer] Current status...

[Brent J. <bj...@ap...>]

Hello,

I downloaded the latest release of gaim-e earlier today and
unfortunately it does not compile.  It says it has an unterminated
comment on line 657 of gaim-e.c.  After terminating the comment on that
line I get a large number of other compile errors, mostly about
variables being undeclared, or parse errors etc...

I have gaim v0.56, and the latest tarball (well, only it seems) of
gaim-e.

Is this project officially dead?  Is work still being done on this
plugin?

Thanks!

Brent Jackson

[Gaim-e-developer] Hey Guys

[jonathan e. <sel...@no...>]

Hey Guys. I'm really glad to see that you managed to improve the code
while i was slacking off. I think Mark Twain said "Never let school
interfere with your education." And im starting to agree with him. ive
actually been busily distrcated with building a 4-node dual athlon cluster.
if you guys ever need to crunch numbers let me know. aside from that i
havent downloaded the code yet. My harddrive blew up last week and im
temporarily on a friends windows machine. ugh. That will be remedied
shortly. Anyway im glad to see all this work done. Open source rules. 

ttyl
Jon

[Gaim-e-developer] also

[Eric K. <nav...@ya...>]

Oh, I also created a compile file.  Just copy it with
the rest of the code to the plugin dir and run it.  
--Another thought about the code. With the hard coding
of 10 sessions.  Does that mean 10 encrypted sessions,
or 10 windows with messages being sent.  From what I
saw the CRYPTO_SESSION was being created when the
first message was sent.

[Gaim-e-developer] my work for the weekend

[Eric K. <nav...@ya...>]

Alright, I'm about to sumbit to cvs some of the work
I've done this weekend. Well, mostly today. I have
some questions that I would like to ask. I'm trying to
remember them all right now.  
--Alright, a small problem with the handshake. I
initiate the handshake, but they have to have my
public key in their keyring?  That doesn't make a lot
of sense.  It would be easier if we could set it up so
that the person who initiates the encryption has the
public key of the other. 
--At some point it would be cool for us to be able to
transfer the other guys public key over and have it
auto put the key in his keyring. 
--I think I fixed a problem with people starting the
plugin after they have started gaim.  In this
situation there wasn't a way for the person to put his
passphrase in, but I take care of this as a check when
people toggle their little encryption button.
--Speaking of which, I got the encyption button to
work, right now it just cycles back and forth.  No
functionality to it.  Well other then checking for the
passphrase.  
--I don't know what to put in the toggle callback to
start/stop the encryption. Right now I haven't been
able to sift through all of the code to find out what
to send. 
--There is a catch 22 with the toggle button though.
well a possible situation at least.  The way to work
it properly is to send a CRYPTO_OFF when we close that
conversation window. That way when the window is
started again the handshake has to be done again with
a new key.. that way I can assume that encryption will
never be set with a conversation window being created.
--I created a HACKING-gaim-e file as well. I wanted to
create it as way to explain how we are doing it.  That
way others can see it and help with the code. 
that's all for now. 
tell me what you think.
