Install Skype and QQ on CentOS6.5

Install Skype and QQ on CentOS6.5

Background
Currently, I spend most of my time working in VMWare. However, I had to switch to Windows frequently to contact my colleagues and ask questions through Skype and QQ.
Today, it's nothing to worry about. Just try to get Skype and QQ in CentOS. In this way, I can basically say goodbye to Windows when working with FireFox.

System Environment
CentOS6.5 x86_64 with GNOME Desktop

1. install and configure Skype
Reference: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/CentOS-RHEL-6-Skype-4-2-RPM-Installation-Steps/td-p/1740485

The author of this document is very interested and has completed all the complicated installation and configuration steps in one RPM package. Therefore, you only need to perform the following simple steps to install and configure Skype:
$ Sudo yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
$ Sudo yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
$ Wget http://www.bromosapien.net: 8080/others/skype-4.2.0.11-4.el6.i686.rpm
$ Sudo yum install skype-4.2.0.11-4.el6.i686.rpm

Then you can open Skype:
Applications> Internet> Skype

Installing and configuring QQ is not so worry-free. First, QQ currently does not support Linux, and the only solution is through the Pidgin + lwqq plug-in.

The procedure is as follows:
Software packages required for installing the system
$ Sudo yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
$ Sudo yum install cmake git subversion
$ Sudo yum install NetworkManager-devel perl-ExtUtils-Embed
$ Sudo yum install libcurl-devel sqlite-devel libsphinxclient-devel libpurple

Download the pidgin source code package
$ Wget 'HTTP: // downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pidgin/Pidgin/2.10.9/pidgin-2.10.9.tar.bz2? R = http % 3A % 2F % 2Fpidgin. im % 2 Fdownload % 2 Fsource % 2F & ts = 1394018729 & use_mirror = iweb '-O pidgin-2.10.9.tar.bz2

Compile and install pidgin
$ Tar xjf pidgin-2.10.9.tar.bz2
$ Cd pidgin-2.10.9
$./Configure
$ Make
$ Sudo make install
$ Cd ..

Compile and install js185
$ Wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ Tar xzf js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ Cd js-1.8.5/js/src
$./Configure
$ Make
$ Sudo make install
$ Sudo vim/etc/profile. d/js185.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH =/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ Source/etc/profile
$ Pkg-config unzip js185 -- cflags
$ Cd ..

Compile and install lwqq
$ Git clone https://github.com/xiehuc/pidgin-lwqq.git
$ Cd pidgin-lwqq
$ Git submodule init
$ Git submodule update
$ Mdir build
$ Cd build
$ Cmake ..
$ Make (a compilation error is prompted, and the solution is to execute make again immediately)
$ Make
$ Sudo make install
$ Cd ../../

Change the default plaintext password and save it as an encryption method.
$ Sudo yum install gnome-keyring-devel
$ Svn checkout http://pidgin-gnome-keyring.googlecode.com/svn/ pidgin-gnome-keyring-read-only
$ Cd pidgin-gnome-keyring-read-only
$ Make
$ Mkdir ~ /. Purple/plugins
$ Mv gnome-keyring.so ~ /. Purple/plugins/

Open Pidgin
Applications-> Internet-> Pidgin Internet Messenger

Tools> Plugins> check Gnome Keyring.

Next, add QQ to Pidgin.
In the Pidgin window, perform the following settings:
