Hello,
i've had the same problem some time ago and wrote a simple wrapper
class for communicating with skype (attached).
This way there were no clashes with existing library functions.
In addition the wrapper handles asynchronous messages sent from
skype an delegates them using signals (the current skype dbus example
lacks this).
I had trouble to set this up correctly, so maybe someone can make use
of this.
Usage is as simple as:
skype = new Skype.DBusWrapper();
skype.connected.connect(() => {
stdout.printf("Skype DBus Service online\n");
});
skype.disconnected.connect(() => {
stdout.printf("Skype DBus Service offline\n");
});
skype.notified.connect((msg) => {
stdout.printf("Incoming Skype notification: %s\n", msg);
});
skype.send("NAME skype-test-client");
skype.send("PROTOCOL 8");
Regards
