Adium MAC and SIPE Addon for LYNC

http://john.whelans.net/archives/991

The setup is simple:

Make sure you’re running Adium 1.5
Download this plugin: http://db.tt/2yx5wYNt
Install the plugin and restart Adium
Add the new account using Office Communicator for the protocol

It doesn’t do everything (no video chat or screen sharing) – but it’s a huge step in the right direction.

[Update 5/4/12]: One thing Adium doesn’t do (but lync does) is set your status based off your calendar. I’ve addressed this via some AppleScript, as detailed here.

[Update 5/16/12]: The latest beta of Adium (1.5.1b1) uses a different version of libpurple, so the plugin doesn’t work. A quick workaround is to run the following commands in Terminal:

cd /Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpurple.framework/Versions
ln -s 0.10.5 0.10.0

Plugin is also available on V:\IT Share\IM Clients\MAC\Adium + SIPE Plugin\

  2. Yes you need to make sure you download 1.5.4 version of Adium, they have not updated the SIPE project to the lastest version yet.

  3. I got it to work with the 64-bit version of SIPE as and Adium 1.5.6. The package for the 64-bit version is at http://users.rcn.com/zer0/SIPEAdiumPlugin.AdiumLibpurplePlugin(64bit).zip
