[转帖]Mercury——可以视频的MSN 聊天程序

[yysq009]

终于找到了个可以视频的MSN 聊天程序了 哈哈！！！


Mercury 是使用 Java 语言写成的 MSN 聊天程序。换句话说，你可以使用 Mercury 来代替 MSN Messenger 完成同样的事情。

Mercury 除了基本的与朋友交谈、传输文件等功能之外，还具有其他一些不错的特性。比如，它支持摄像头，能够进行音频或者视频会议，可以使用不同的皮肤来改变程序的外观等。

Mercury 也支持包括英文、中文等在内的多种界面语言，目前可以在 Windows、Linux、Mac OS X、FreeBSD 等多种系统平台上运行。

你可以从 Mercury 网站上获取最近的稳定版 1.8。如果你打算尝试 Mercury 的新功能，帮助开发者改善程序，也可以试试最新的测试版 1.9 RC 2。

没用过KDE 所以。。。。。 呵呵！！！！
飘过！ 我在试用，感觉不错。

功能比kopete多得多。
比方说，可以隐身收发信息。

没有pighin好，不能和gmail聊天。

kopete那是个半成品，这个mecury算最成熟的msn替代品了，各方面都很不错，amsn的最新版支持offline msg以后也是非常优秀的。

[houdini]

支持语音吗？

视频倒是无所谓

[zhuqin_83]

当然支持，我就弄不懂，为什么amsn弄得那么丑，像gtk1似的。
好像是tcl做的东西。

tcl/tk，的确暴丑，而且最新版本要tcl8.5，弄了一下实在麻烦，源里又没有，放弃了，就用mecury。

Where to download

* A list of download torrents may be viewed here. This lists stable and beta versions. For more information on beta versions, please look here.

Installing

1. Ensure you have a working Sun JVM installed
2. Download the core release of the version you wish to install
3. Extract the update zip file to the directory you wish Mercury to be installed in
(in this example I used /usr/share/mercury)
(you might need to use sudo if you wish to install it in a location you don't have write access to)
4. make sure permissions are correct
(chgrp -R users /usr/share/mercury and chmod -R 775 /usr/share/mercury)
5. make the startup script executable
(chmod +x /usr/share/mercury/startup/startup_linux.sh)
6. finally create the symlink to the startup script
(ln -s /usr/share/mercury/startup/startup_linux.sh /usr/bin/mercury)
7. Start Mercury by typing mercury

Note: the startup script in 1.8 doesn't work with symlinks, use this script (save as, overwrite the old one)

To get the tray working on Linux, I suggest you read this

How to manually update:
Linux

1. Make sure that you have an existing installation of Mercury
(see Downloading and Installing Mercury? for more info).
2. Download the update file (core release)
(it's a zip file with all the required files)
3. After downloading, close dMSN/Mercury.
4. Locate the "resources", "lib" and "startup" directories. They can be found in %programdir%
5. Rename your "resources" directory to 'old_resources', or delete it.
6. Rename your "lib" directory to 'old_lib', or delete it.
7. Rename your "jni" directory to 'old_jni', or delete it.
8. Rename your "startup" directory to 'old_startup', or delete it.
9. Extract the zip file in %programdir% - it will create new directories
10. Done, the new version of Mercury is ready to be started

Note: extra files are required for audio/video conferencing.
