Build

Simply clone this repository and use the project file harbour-fernschreiber.pro to import the sources in your SailfishOS IDE. To build and run Fernschreiber or an application which is based on Fernschreiber, you need to create the file harbour-fernschreiber/src/tdlibsecrets.h and enter the required constants in the following format:

#ifndef TDLIBSECRETS_H
#define TDLIBSECRETS_H
const char TDLIB_API_ID[] = "42424242";
const char TDLIB_API_HASH[] = "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef";
#endif // TDLIBSECRETS_H

You get the Telegram API ID and hash as soon as you've registered your own application on https://my.telegram.org.

Moreover, you need to have a compiled version of TDLib in the sub-directory tdlib. This sub-directory must contain another sub-directory that fits to the target device architecture (e.g. armv7hl, i486). Within this directory, there needs to be a folder called lib that contains at least libtdjson.so. For armv7hl the relative path would consequently be tdlib/armv7hl/lib. Before compiling the project, be sure to set the target architecture in the project file harbour-fernschreiber.pro correctly using the variable TARGET_ARCHITECTURE. This can most certainly be automated. Pull requests welcome! ;)
