QQ configuration in Linux

Many of my friends have installed Linux on their machines and want to use QQ in the Linux environment. I will share my experience in configuring QQ on Red Hat 9.0.

Select QQ Software

Tencent has not released QQ Software for Linux, but many free software or plug-ins support QQ for Linux. These software can be obtained on the Internet, commonly used include Gaim + OpenQ, Gaim + libqq and LumaQQ. These software can be obtained through the following links:

The Gaim website is http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php.

Libqq web site for http://zd.linux.com.cn.

The OpenQ URL is http://openq.linuxsir.org/cgi-bin/wiki/moin.cgi/_cf_c2_d4_d8.

The LumaQQ URL is Alipay.

Both Gaim + libqq and Gaim + OpenQ add QQ plug-ins in Gaim. Therefore, you must pay attention to the version correspondence between Gaim and QQ plug-ins.

Examples of the ing between Gaim and libqq versions are as follows:

Libqq-0.0.1-0.48.so is suitable for Gaim 0.48, 0.49;

◆ Libqq-0.0.1-0.50.so is applicable to Gaim 0.50;

Libqq-0.0.1-0.51.so is suitable for Gaim 0.51, 0.52;

Libqq-Gaim-0.48-qq.patch is suitable for Gaim 0.48, 0.49 0.50;

Libqq-Gaim-0.51-qq.patch is suitable for Gaim 0.51, 0.52.

For the relationship between Gaim and OpenQ, see http://openq.linuxsir.org/cgi-bin/wiki/moin.cgi/_cf_c2_d4_d8.

Install QQ

Install software on Linux in two ways: Tarball and RPM. Tarball is a common installation method in Unix-like operating systems; RPM (Red Hat Package Manage) it is the package management method launched by Red Hat. This is a very good management method, but sometimes there may be some dependency problems.

1. installation using Tarball

For example, if you use the following command to install a gaim-gaim-cvs-0218-qq-0.2.5.tar.gz with libqqplug-In included, we do not recommend using the root permission for installation ):

$ Tar zxvf gaim-cvs-0218-qq-0.2.5.tar.gz

$ Cd gaim-cvs-0218-qq-0.2.5 $

./Configure -- prefix =/home/foo/bin/local/gaim & make install

$ Cd ~ /Bin

$ Ln-s/home/foo/bin/local/gaim/bin/gaim

"./Configure -- prefix =/home/foo/bin/local/gaim" specifies that the software installation directory is/home/foo/bin/local/gaim.

"&" Is used to execute the following command only after the previous command is successfully executed. This is different from ";". ";" is used to execute commands on both sides, regardless of whether the previous command is successfully executed.

NOTE: If Gaim has been installed in the system, edit it. in the bash_profile file, change "PATH" to "PATH = $ HOME/bin: $ PATH", and then execute source. bash_profile command.

If the Gaim installation package does not contain the libqq plug-in, run the following command to install libqq:

$ Gunzip libqq-0.0.3-ft-0.58-gcc296.so.gz

$ Su-c "cp libqq-0.0.3-ft-0.58-gcc296.so/usr/lib/gaim"

2. Install with RPM

The RPM Installation Method installs the software according to the instructions when creating the RPM package, and requires the root permission.

Install gaim-0.58-2.i386.rpmand libqqplug-In libqq-0.0.3-ft-0.58-gcc296.so.gz and run the following commands:

# Rpm-qa | grep gaim

# Rpm-e gaim

# Rpm-ivh gaim-0.58-2.i386.rpm

# Gunzip libqq-0.0.3-ft-0.58-gcc296.so.gz

# Cp libqq-0.0.3-ft-0.58-gcc296.so/usr/lib/gaim

OpenQ is also the QQ plug-in of Gaim. The installation method is similar to libqq.

3. LumaQQ Installation

In fact, LumaQQ does not need to be installed. You only need to decompress its software package and modify the Java environment variable in its startup script to run it. LumaQQ may encounter a problem: If LumaQQ is enabled first, XMMS will not make a sound; otherwise, LumaQQ will not have a sound. This is because Linux exclusively uses the sound card. You can use ALSA to manage the sound card by changing the sound card driver.

Create shortcuts on the desktop

1. GNOME Desktop System

Right-click the desktop and select "create quick starter ". Fill in the required information respectively when using the Gaim with the plug-in QQ, pay attention to the Gaim path), then click the icon button, select the favorite icon. The default labels are stored in the/usr/share/pixmaps directory. You can change the path to get more options.

2. KDE Desktop System

Right-click the desktop and select "New> application link ". Enter the shortcut name, select the icon, and enter the full path of the command in the command bar of the "execute" tab ).

Create a shortcut in the taskbar

1. GNOME Desktop System

Right-click the taskbar, select "add to panel → launcher", create an icon, and specify a command. Alternatively, select "launcher from menu" and select an icon from the menu.

2. KDE Desktop System

Right-click the taskbar, select "Panel menu> Add> special button> non-KDE application", enter the command, and click "OK.

Summary

Using QQ in Linux is not difficult. Many friends fail to install QQ because of lack of care and patience. As long as you carefully pay attention to the information prompted during the installation process, carefully examine the installation environment, read README and other documents in detail, you will be able to make the two penguins Linux and QQ work together, convenience for life and work.
