tar -xf telepathy-morse-0.1.0.tar.gz

mkdir morse-build
cd morse-build
cmake ../telepathy-morse

Information about CMake build:

• By default CMake looks for the Qt5 build. You can pass USE_QT4 option (-DUSE_QT4=true) to process Qt4 build.
• Default installation prefix is /usr/local. Probably, you'll need to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr to make DBus activation works. (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr)

make -j4
make install

Known issues

• Initial low-level encryption sometimes generates bad random values, which rarely can leads to “connection doesn’t work” issue.
• Authentication doesn't work on the Sailfish OS. It is possible to copy an authorization key from your pc to the device, the directory is ~/.cache/telepathy-morse/secrets.
