2. Prerequisites

  • For SSL connection (required by Twitter’s API), one of the followings is required:
  • GnuPG is required for keeping the OAuth token encrypted in local storage.

  • twittering-icon-mode converts retrieved icons into XPM by default. To achieve this and for displaying icons in formats that are not supported by Emacs as well as for resizing icon images, ImageMagick is required.

    To build emacs with ImageMagick support the --with-imagemagick flag needs to be passed to the configure script, e.g. ./configure --with-imagemagick. For detailed instruction on how to build Emacs from source please refer to INSTALL in Emacs’ savannah repository.

  • For keeping retrieved icons in local storage, gzip is required.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Evil users: Currently twittering-mode binds SPC, breaking its functionality as a leader key. To work around this issue you may use M-SPC instead when in twittering-mode.
