Hello,

I would like to write a small Jabber client using LM
library.

The problem is - I have existing application with own
main-message-loop
(own gui) and so on.

Best thing for me would be to run LM jabber reciving client
in
background (thread?) and then use it from time to time in my
application
polling-style:

void PollJabber() {
	if (lm_messages_pending()) {
		std::string msg = lm_get_message_text();
		MyFunctionToDisplayMessage( msg );
	}
}

and of course to send messages in simmilar matter:

void OnButtonSend() {
	...
	lm_send_message();
}


How can I do the first part?

Main example, lm-test, creates own main loop (also, using
GTK main
loop/context things which I dont see applayable to my
application).

Any examples using methode as above?

Btw, about the dependency on GTK, which libraries (dll?) I
must ship
with my application to windows users after crosscompilation
of lm-using
program? Also, can my application be closed source
(non-GPL)?

Thanks

Hi,

Forgot to reply here after I replied on Jabber but it might
be  
interesting to others as well.

You can do this in two ways.

1) Use a separate thread/mainloop for Loudmouth and for
example use  
GAsyncQueue to send the
    LmMessages to your main thread.

2) Don't setup a mainloop to handle the GMainContext but
instead  
iterate it on your own with
    g_main_context_iteration.

I haven't got any but there might be some other client that
you might  
look at.

Loudmouth doesn't depend on GTK+ at all but on GLib. You
application  
can be non-GPL as Loudmouth (and GLib) are LGPL.
