Configuration Environment for KakaoTalk [1] and its wrapper script to start and quit the Kakao Talk in the Debian / Ubuntu Linux.
Configuration Environment for KakaoTalk [1] and its wrapper script to start and quit Kakao Talk in the Debian / Ubuntu Linux.

## Backgroud

I am weak to type many words with the small phone, and it turns out so many typos in messages. Since Kakao doesn't support the KakaoTalk Desktop for Linux distribution, so I just tried to install it through Wine. This repository was turned out my struggle while doing so. I hope that Kakao should support their application for Linux architecture more and more. I am pretty sure that the company has a lot of benefits from Linux community.

If one has the exist `KakaoTalk_Setup.exe` file locally, the rule triggers an additional rule `make backup`. This backup rule renames the exist installation file with an extracted version number suffix, for example, `KakaoTalk_Setup.exe_v3.1.6.2572`. If the same version file exists, it will overwrite it.

## Korean Input System

I don't use the Korean Locale, because it makes me so many troubles to build programs since my First SUSE / Redhat Linux. Now it is much better than before. But I don't need to use them also. I delightly use `ibus-hangul`, it is easy to setup, and work very well [3]. Here is my locale information if anyone have some difficulties.
