skype c++ library

with 3 comments

++Skype is a C++ library for skype add-on platform independent software development. It is platform independent, easy to use, and easy to extend because of the flexible library design, inspired by modern C++ design ideas. Performance is one of the goals: only compile-time polymorphism is used.

(got my attention as Kopete has a skype plugin, using dbus though a thin layer IIRC.)

home page here, getting started here, tutorial here.

It is LGPL. The last version can control Skype not only via dbus, but also via the X11 protocol.

  1. OpenWengo (http://OpenWengo.org) is completely open source (GPL), uses Qt for its GUI, and has a better voice quality than Skype.

  2. I don’t think, we should support Skype at all. OpenWengo, Ekiga or any other sip-client is better and more standards-compliant.

  3. read my next post, because the word “supporting” is very ambiguois.

    And anyway, if some user wants to write a skype plugin for their personal needs (like what happened with the current Kopete plugin), you can’t prevent it. It happened. If you want support for another one, someone has to write the code. And that is more difficult to happen when the userbase of a system is smaller.
