How to Install

Sadly we are facing two problems with the current project approach:

1. Unsupported git submodules in go get command. (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/7764)
2. Currently tgl library doesn't have a pkg-config package defined, so we need to compile it by ourselves in the correct location. (TODO: Need to create a issue for this or provide a pull request to the tgl project)

So you need to do some manual arrangment to succesfully install the package.

    $ go get -d github.com/gloob/go-telegram && \
      cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gloob/go-telegram && \
      git submodule update --init --recursive && \
      cd ./lib/tgl && ./configure && make && \
      go get -u github.com/gloob/go-telegram

TODO:

• Refactor Makefile with the previous problems to automatically create using make.
• Check viability of using subtree instead of submodules (http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree/)
• Create issue to check viability to add pkg-config support to tlg.

Current Status

• Linux
  • Not yet!
• Mac OS
  • Not yet!
• Windows
  • planned for 2015 Q4
