Are there build options for only Telegram, only WhatsApp?

Thanks for you sharing. It is a awesome project.
Could you please provide a option for the user who only need whatsapp or telegram?
Best regards.

Thanks! Actually this is already supported, just not yet properly documented.

The protocols supported by nchat is controlled by the following cmake flags:

HAS_DUMMY=ON
HAS_TELEGRAM=ON
HAS_WHATSAPP=ON

It is possible to enable / disable protocols by passing one or multiple flags to cmake:

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DHAS_WHATSAPP=OFF .. && make -s

I will create an issue from this discussion for documenting this in the README.

The README has been updated now.

Can this be done with the AUR version of nchat on Arch?

Hi @gyungchaehan - unfortunately I don't think it is. I'm not 100% sure though (I do not maintain the AUR packaging).

Perhaps you can try contact the AUR package maintainers of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nchat or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nchat-git and see if they have any solution.

Otherwise it's always possible to clone this repository and build it from source and specifying the HAS_ options mentioned in a previous comment.
