Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
I'm not sure if you installed them like I told you. You should have
/usr/local/lib/pidgin/talkfilters.la
/usr/local/lib/pidgin/talkfilters.so
Something tells me they were not compiled and installed with the rest of the plugins.
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
I like pidgin's style, but I'm waiting it to get a Plus! like plugin.
Any news about it, or its dead?
The fact is that most of my contacts have those strange coloured nicks that look ugly without the plugin :S
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
Can you inform me about the plugin you are referring to specifically and I'll investigate it?
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
Anyone get this to compile on 64bit?
I keep getting this:
Code:
checking for X11... yes
checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXext... no
checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXss... no
configure: error:
XScreenSaver extension development headers not found.
Use --disable-screensaver if you do not need XScreenSaver extension support,
this is required for detecting idle time by mouse and keyboard usage.

Try this:
sudo aptitude install libxss-dev
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
Thanks kevdog
After that was fixed got this:
Code:
checking for STARTUP_NOTIFICATION... no
no
configure: error:
Startup notification development headers not found.
Use --disable-startup-notification if you do not need it.
Fixed with libstartup-notification0-dev
Then got this:
Code:
checking for MEANWHILE... no
configure: error:
Meanwhile development headers not found.
Use --disable-meanwhile if you do not need meanwhile (Sametime) support.
edit: fixed with libmeanwhile-dev
Now stuck on:
Code:
checking for MEANWHILE... yes
checking for AVAHI... no
checking avahi-client/client.h usability... no
checking avahi-client/client.h presence... no
checking for avahi-client/client.h... no
checking avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h usability... no
checking avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h presence... no
checking for avahi-glib/glib-malloc.h... no
checking for avahi_client_new in -lavahi-client... no
configure: error:
avahi development headers not found.
Use --disable-avahi if you do not need avahi (Bonjour) support.
fixed with libavahi-client-dev and libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
Just a few questions and I can add info to the original post
I know you are installing on 64 bit Ubuntu
Did you do the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
If you did, are you telling me you had to install additional libraries as listed above to compile on the 64 bit platform?
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
After installation using checkinstall... The update daemon instantly turns on to notify a "new" version of pidgin is available, which is "1:2.4.1-ubuntu2.2". I think this is something about the version number.
I suggest to run this command instead:
Quote:
sudo checkinstall -D --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=pidgin --pkgversion=1:2.5.4~checkinstall
Also, Bot Sentry cannot autogen itself. Here is the error encountered:
Quote:
$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
configure.ac:49: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
I wonder what are they...
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
I would recommend installing outside the apt system with a simple sudo make install rather than a checkinstall. checkinstall although it has theoretical advantages, is really a pain to work with on a practical basis. If you are persistent however in using the apt system, I believe you can put updates on hold like sudo aptitude hold pidgin.
As far as the bot sentry ./autogen.sh problem -- let me take a look at it. I have bot sentry installed, however have not looked at the package in quite a while and don't know if a recent upgrade broke something.
Re: How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex
I read about an oppurtunity to compile pidgin from source with video and voice support, so I wanted to try. This is how I proceed:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-make
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
Installed packages from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian (added to the sources)
Code:
sudo apt-get install libgstfarsight0.10-0 libgstfarsight0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
in order to fetch the last revision of pidgin:
Code:
apt-get install monotone monotone-viz
then:
Code:
DATABASE=/home/user/monotone_databases/pidgin.mtn
WORKINGDIR=/home/user/code/pidgin-mtn
cd $(dirname $DATABASE)
wget http://developer.pidgin.im/static/pidgin.mtn.bz2
bzip2 -d pidgin.mtn.bz2
mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*"
I got an error message so:
Code:
mtn -d $DATABASE db migrate
then again:
Code:
mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*"
mtn -d $DATABASE co -b im.pidgin.pidgin.vv $WORKINGDIR
During configure with autogen I got messages about several missing dependencies, to install them:
Code:
sudo apt-get install autogen libtool intltool libgtk2.0-dev libgtkspell-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libmeanwhile-dev libavahi-glib-dev libdbus-1-dev libperl-dev libssl-dev libgnutls-dev tcl8.5-dev libdbus-1-dev tk8.5-dev libxss-dev
What I couldn't frind: d-bus and tk development headers so I disabled:
Code:
sudo sh ./autogen.sh --disable-dbus --disable-tk
Warning during configuring:
Code:
Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
Error when "sudo make":
Code:
gtkmain.c:314: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pidgin_medias_init’
make[3]: *** [gtkmain.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn/pidgin'

Any suggestion to avoid this?
