向 Pidgin, Adium, Finch 和其他基于 Libpurple 的通讯员添加对Telegram 的支持 .
telegram-purple is now totally broken, as is every libtgl-based application. Please use tdlib-purple instead.
Note that only the following features are missing:
So tdlib-purple is a good replacement in most cases; feel free to ask politely if a feature is missing. For more details, see https://github.com/BenWiederhake/tdlib-purple/#new-libpurple-plugin-for-telegram
Note that BenWiederhake's repo is actually just a fork of this original repo: For more details, see https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/milestone/1
telegram-purple is abandoned since 2021. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.
Telegram-purple is a Libpurple protocol plugin that adds support for the Telegram messenger.
I keep getting many questions about this plugin in my E-mail, so I've created a telegram group chat for telegram-purple related discussions or questions.
If you are just interested in using the plugin you probably want to use one of the following binary distributions. Please note that I do not control most of those package sources and the version may lag behind.
If your platform is not supported or you want to contribute by testing or development, scroll down to "Building form Source".
We provide an installer for Windows users:
This installer is built in a different way than previous builds (specifically, by Eion Robb http://eion.robbmob.com/telegram/), and may still have some issues.
Specifically, the installer is compressed, so if you have an overzealous anti-virus installed, the installer may get flagged.
The build is 32-bit, so connecting with Telegram for the first time may take a few minutes.
Alternatively, see "Building the Windows Installer" below.
The package is available in the Fedora 22 and 23 testing repositories:
dnf config-manager --set-enabled updates-testing
dnf install purple-telegram
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/telegram-purple/
You can build it from source (see following section) or build a .deb file
for your package manager.
Below, you will find the instructions for how to build the libpurple protocol plugin from source.
This repository has submodules, so you need to clone recursively.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple
cd telegram-purple
If you are unsure about whether you need this, then you are not a packager and don't have any use for this.
If you need an "orig-tarball", it can be generated by make dist. Note
that this automatically generates an appropriate version number like
1.2.4-58-g8e3cebf. You can truncate the git suffix (-g8e3cebf). If
the -58 part exists, it means that you're using a development
version, which is probably not what you want. If you still want to
package this, please leave the commit number (i.e., 58) intact, as
this indicates that this version is in fact much further than just
1.2.4.
sudo dnf install gcc gettext libgcrypt-devel libwebp-devel libpurple-devel zlib-devel
sudo apt-get install libgcrypt20-dev libpurple-dev libwebp-dev gettext build-essential libpng-dev
sudo zypper install gcc glib glib-devel libpurple libpurple-devel zlib-devel libwebp-devel
And the development files for gcrypt, probably gcrypt-devel or something. (FIXME)
If libwebp is not available, you can disable sticker support by calling ./configure --disable-libweb instead. Please note that this is usually not necessary.
./configure
make
sudo make install
This repository contains submodules, and a simple pull just won't be enough to update all the submodules’ files. Pull new changes with:
git pull
git submodule sync # just in case the configuration has changed
git submodule update --recursive
The username is your current phone number, including your full country prefix. For Germany, this would be '+49', resulting in a user name like '+49151123456'. Telegram will verify your phone number by sending you a code via SMS. You will be prompted for this code, once that happens.
Like in the official Telegram apps, the displayed buddy list consists of all active conversations.
Foreign users, like for example people you only know through a group chat but never had any conversation with, will not be part of your buddy list by default. You can add those users to the buddy list by clicking on "Add contact..." in the users context menu.
You can use Telegram secret chats with this plugin, they will show up as a new buddy with a '!' in front of the buddy name.
One caveat of secret chats in Telegram is that they can only have one endpoint, this is a limitation of the protocol. This means that if you create a secret chat in Pidgin or Adium you will not be able to use that chat on your phone. You will be asked whether to accept each secret chat, so you can always choose to accept the chat on a different device if you want. You can set a default behavior for dealing with secret chats (Accept or Decline) in the account settings, if you don't want that prompt to appear every time.
Self destructive messages will be ignored, since I don't know any way to delete them from the conversation and the history.
Click on the buddy in the buddy list and click on "Show Info" to visualize the key fingerprint.
To initiate a secret chat from Pidgin or Adium, click on a Buddy in the Buddy List and hit "Start Secret Chat"
If you delete a secret chat from the buddy list, it will be terminated and no longer be usable.
The Telegram phone applications for iOS and Android make use of standardized Unicode smileys (called Emojis). Pidgin does not display those smileys natively, but you can install a custom smiley theme like (https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji) or (https://github.com/VxJasonxV/emoji-for-pidgin) and activate it under Settings > Themes > Smiley Theme.
Since 1.3.0 it is possible to write messages in monospaced fonts using the markdown backtick syntax.
``` if (true) {
// do smth

On macOS you probably want to use the prebuilt Bundle for Adium (see above) and not compile it from source. Compiling the bundle for Adium oder Pidgin on macOS is rather complicated and usually not required.
These steps are necessary when you want to build telegram-purple as a libpurple Plugin for macOS. The outputs of this build are also necessary when building the Adium bundle.
Clone repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple
cd telegram-purple
Install dependencies using homebrew
brew install glib
brew install pkg-config
brew install pidgin
brew install webp
brew install libgcrypt libgpg-error
Configure make install
./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -ggdb -O0" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" --disable-translation
# I currently don't know of an easy to support translations for Pidgin under macOS (sorry)
make
sudo make install
(This part may be a little outdated.)
Compiling with XCode is a little bit problematic, since it requires you to compile Adium first to get the necessary framework files. My advice is to just use the prebuilt bundle, but if you really want to do it, follow these steps:
Get the Adium source, compile it with XCode and copy the build output into telegram-adium/Frameworks/Adium. It should contain at least Adium.framework, AdiumLibpurple.framework and AIUitilies.framework
Open the Adium source code, go to ./Frameworks and copy libglib.framework and libpurple.framework into telegram-adium/Frameworks/Adium
Build the tgl submodule and delete libtgl.so from libs/ (it should only contain libtgl.a)
Install libpng and libwebp with homebrew:
brew install libpng webp
If libpng or libwebp are already installed make sure they're up to date
brew update
brew upgrade libpng webp
Move libpng and libwebp into the appropriate directory so Xcode can find them. Note that the versions might differ, use the one that is
mkdir -p ./telegram-adium/Frameworks/Adium
cp /usr/local/Cellar/libpng/1.6.37/lib/libpng.a ./telegram-adium/Frameworks
cp /usr/local/Cellar/webp/1.0.3/lib/libwebp.a ./telegram-adium/Frameworks
Build libgpg-error and libgcrypt using build_dependencies.sh
sh ./telegram-adium/build_dependencies.sh
Build the XCode-Project and execute the created bundle
If you just need a .deb, simply do:
sudo apt-get install debhelper
fakeroot ./debian/rules binary
And you're done! The telegram-purple_….deb and telegram-purple-dbgsym_….deb files
are in the parent directory.
To show some info about it, try this:
dpkg --info telegram-purple_*.deb
Please note that installing the debugging symbols (dbgsym)
help a lot in troubleshooting, so please do install them, too!
If you're a maintainer (if you're not sure, then you aren't a maintainer), you need to produce a lot more files than that.
Here's how you can generate a .orig.tar.gz:
make dist
The following command requires the original tar to exist,
and will build all further files,
specifically .debian.tar.xz, .dsc, .deb, and .changes:
dpkg-buildpackage
If this fails with a cryptic error message,
first make sure that the ….orig.tar really is in place.
For the upload, you should use pbuilder and similar to build the package
in a more minimalistic environment. That covers the official part of the work-flow.
Of course, you can call small parts of the build process directly, in order to avoid
overhead like rebuilding. For example, if you only need the .debian.tar.xz
and .dsc files, do this:
make dist
false # Move tar to parent directory, by hand
dpkg-source -b .
Note that we no longer actively try to get it into the Debian repository.
You will need a Debian-ish operating system, and the following packages:
apt-get install build-essentials gcc-mingw-w64-i686 libgcrypt-mingw-w64-dev \
libgpg-error-mingw-w64-dev libz-mingw-w64-dev \
gettext libgcrypt20-
