Building Open AIM SDK samples for Linux

I have had several queries on Open AIM Forum on building the Open AIM SDK samples for Linux, the SDK and samples can be downloaded here.

Once you untar the SDK and samples, you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH by exporting the following, adjusting the path to wherever your SDK is installed.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/gmadkat1/accsdk_linux_rhe4×86_1_8_2/dist/release

You also need the Mozilla NSS libraries installed in order to run the samples, this is security software for SSL AIM sessions. More details found here.

You will need Apache Ant in order to build the Java samples. There is a Java BOT sample and a simple Java signon and signoff sample included for the Linux Distribution.

There also equivalent C++ samples for demonstrating a BOT and signon and off, they are easily built using make.

The binaries built above are put into the dist/release directory and can be run from there.

In order to run the Java samples, you need to do the following Java commands in Linux…

java -cp accjwrap.jar:. AccJSample myScreenname mypassword Key:dsdsdsd_deaZdsdd

java -cp accjwrap.jar:. accjbot myScreenname mypassword
