You just have to define an appropriate environment using the +wrapper found in the tools/ directory.. For example: + ./tools/empathy-env ./src/empathy The chat and call UI are automatically started by telepathy-mission-control when receiving or requesting a chat/call. In order to use your custom version you have to kill any existing instance of empathy-{chat,call} and then start it with EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 to prevent it from auto exiting if there is no channel to handle. For example: - EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 ./src/empathy-chat + EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 ./tools/empathy-env ./src/empathy-chat Debugging can be turned on using EMPATHY_DEBUG=all and logged to a file with EMPATHY_LOGFILE=/tmp/empathy.log -- cgit v1.2.3
