The add-on Additional Chat Protocols for Thunderbird is made from parts of Instantbird.

The source code is the purple/ folder of the Instantbird repository.

To build for all OSes, I pushed that code to the Thunderbird try server.

The changesets I pushed to the try server contain:

  • the purple/ folder of the Instantbird repository (any revision that contains the patch from Instantbird bug 1665 and its follow ups should work). Let's say I used the purple/ folder of revision 29d2a239ba24.
  • a patch to adapt the comm-central build system to build purple/
  • some very simple changes to purple/ to disable the jabber and qq libpurple protocol plugins (jabber because Thunderbird already ships by default a generic XMPP plugin and I don't want to override it, and qq because it doesn't work correctly at the moment, even for Instantbird).
  • when building for Thunderbird 16 and 17, some fixes to keep purplexpcom building against newer gecko versions. For Thunderbird 16 I had deal with the removal of nsILocalFile, and for Thunderbird 17 I also had to deal with the nsnull->nullptr change and the removal of the NS_OUTPARAM and NS_SCRIPTABLE macros (this patch has been posted to [Instantbird bug 1606 https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606] and reviewed there.

I included in the add-on localized strings for the top 4 locales of Thunderbird (en-US, de, fr, ja) from http://hg.instantbird.org/l10n/libpurple/
