Build Status

WhatsApp protocol implementation for libpurple (Pidgin)

Important! As of April 15th 2016 I won't be working on this plugin anymore. If someone wants to pick up development feel free to email me. There are some other up-to-date APIs that you may want to check (yowsup, ChatAPI, etc).

Get a copy

To get meaningful instructions on how to use this (if you are a user, not a developer) please go to https://davidgf.net/whatsapp/ (Instructions for Ubuntu, Fedora and Windows are provided).

Official binary sources (provided by davidgfnet):

Building

Just run make (if you have to choose between 32 and 64 bit, run make ARCH=i686 or make ARCH=x86_64). Makefile.mingw is the Makefile for 32-bit Windows.
