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.

If you want to contribute bug fixes, improvements, new features etc. please create a pull request (PR). PRs are always welcome and will be reviewed as soon as possible, but may take some time. :)
