Telegram messenger CLI

Command-line interface for Telegram. Uses readline interface.

API, Protocol documentation

Documentation for Telegram API is available here: http://core.telegram.org/api

Documentation for MTproto protocol is available here: http://core.telegram.org/mtproto

Installation

Linux

Just run

$ ./configure
$ make

Mac OS X

The client depends on readline library and libconfig, which are not included in OS X by default. You have to install these libraries manually, e.g. using Homebrew.

$ brew install libconfig
$ brew install readline
$ export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.4/include"
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.4/lib"
$ ./configure && make

Thanks to @jfontan for this solution.

Other UNIX

If you manage to launch it on other UNIX, please let me know.
