How to use Rediff Bol in Linux ??

Garbage · 15-06-2007, 08:58 PM

Hi !!!

Just right now, I'm able to connect my linux box to internet.

So, now I want to use Rediff Bol (bcoz I've most of the friends online there).
There is no version of Rediff Bol for Linux

So, what to do?

I have Gaim 'n can use it for Yahoo! similarly can I configure it to use for Rediff Bol ???

Please help !!!!

u can try using wine...

Garbage · 15-06-2007, 10:48 PM

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04

praka123 · 16-06-2007, 06:57 AM

I think Rediff bol is unfortunately not supported yet in pidgin or any IM Clients.u can try wine or GIYF

Bol didn't work out for me on Wine. It just opened the border of the window, that's it. Give it a shot and please let us know if you could make it work.

I can't understand what u mean....

I also searched on Crossover Compatibility List. But Rediff Bol is NOT listed there

praka123 · 17-06-2007, 10:08 PM

^ but it runs mostly on cross over!

Garbage · 17-06-2007, 10:35 PM

ok. I'll try tomorrow. (as I don't have BroadBand here, I've to download it from college

) How nice, INDIA celebrating BroadBand Year :X

Garbage · 19-06-2007, 05:34 PM

is there any way to use Gaim instead of Rediff Bol ??

praka123 · 19-06-2007, 06:02 PM

gaim is now pidgin and no-rediffbol support :-\

Garbage · 21-06-2007, 06:37 AM

Now, I'm able to install Rediff Bol with help of wine.
I'm also able to log in.

But now, the problem is I can't CHAT. When I type some message, as soon as I hit send, it doen't get displayed on screen. & I can't see messages from friends also.

vignesh · 21-06-2007, 08:46 AM

Try crossover office.They have a 30 day trial version download.Try if it works with that.Or use wine

Garbage · 22-06-2007, 09:50 PM

same problem with CrossOver Office. can't display text in chat window!

I think it's happening bcoz it needs FLASH & flash is in Restricted packages.
isn't it ???

praka123 · 23-06-2007, 10:31 AM

then can someone write a plugin for it here ????

praka123 · 23-06-2007, 06:01 PM

yes,pidigin needs to have rediff bol support and it is pity that no indian yet had wrote a plugin

ofcorz this IM is a "never heard" for Other people.
I am not a script writer

,but u can ask for support by chatting on IRC with pidign developers directly.hopefully they can help finding a plugin.

Garbage · 23-06-2007, 08:34 PM

**kalpik** · 25-06-2007, 01:11 AM

Shouldnt that be pidgin?

binu_paul · 25-08-2007, 02:56 AM

It's fairly easy to reverse engineer RBol's protocol and implement a client. I've been working on it in my free time. See my blog.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find time to work on that now. I'm planning to start a sourceforge site for the same. Meanwhile if anybody is interested in the source code v0.0.1 (GPL) , please contact me (binu_paul at hotmail.com)

Garbage · 25-08-2007, 07:55 PM

okkk....

Let's try this way !!!
