This an sfs I made from the most recent Skype static Linux build, it should work on most Puppies. I tested it on the latest Lupu, but it is static, I tested the same package (before I made the sfs) on Stardust and 431, however I always modify my system slightly so I can't say for sure that I'd guarantee it will work out of the box.

It might pay to use wget to down load from dpup.org
Code: Select all
wget -t 0 -c http://www.dpup.org/01Micko/skype/skype_static-2.1.0.81.sfs
It should create a menu entry in "Internet" on installation. For some strange reason I had to symlink the "sounds" directory to /root/sounds for the ringing and other weird skype sounds to work.
Make sure you configure you sound, mic and webcam correctly, it might pay to make sure your mic works with alsa first to save some frustration.
Enjoy.
Cheers
Note Latest Quirky and probably Wary need libXss..
I compiled LibScreenSaver (libXss) and installed in Quirky and skype now works. It's probably fine in Wary too, I didn't test with Wary.
Note2: You only need the the first pet, not the DEV one, unless you want to compile against it then grab both.
Note3: As of Quirky greater than 022, Barry is including those libs as they are tiny.
Note4: As of Quirky 1, this skype sfs is working for me ootb
Note5: Puppy431, this skype sfs is working for me ootb
