[OTR-dev] Building an OTR plugin for Trillian 3.1

[Twan Fox]

Greetings,

New to this list but using Trillian for a while, I have been getting a
little antsy about not being able to encrypt messages across multiple IM
clients. Having originally intended to use another encryption protocol to do
this (already supported on Gaim), I find myself redirected to use OTR for
various reasons. At any rate, my whole goal is to craft up a plugin which
impliments OTR encryption for Trillian (latest version being 3.1). I come
across lacking a few things, though.

Due to the basics of plugin development for Trillian having been designed in
Visual Studio (it seems), that is likely the tool under which I am going to
develop the plugin. However, obtaining or building a VS-usable library for
libotr seems to be quite an excersize (for me, especially). I understand
that, at least in the case of Libgcrypt, .dll files have been built, but I
have yet to come across a dynamic (or static) library of libotr available
for Windows development. To me, ideally, I would like to build libotr as a
statically linked library within the plugin, to make it simple on
placing the final plugin within Trillian, but I haven't a notion where to
begin in porting the build environment over.

Any assistance is gladly appreciated.

Thanks
