Howto compile Pidgin IM

As you may know, Gaim has been renamed to Pidgin IM. Beta7 source is now available in testing. The only difference I see is the interface:
http://bomahy.nl/hylke/blog/?p=25
I don't guarantee that this won't break your system, so please be sure you make any necessary backups.

to install any dependencies you need to compile Pidgin, run the following:

Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep gaim
autogen also needs some files:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
Go to the pidgin dev site to get the code:
http://developer.pidgin.im/
extract the source, cd into the folder, and execute
Code:
sh autogen.sh
I got some warnings at this step but nothing that prevented me from continuing.

after that is finished, run
Code:
make && sudo make install
When it's ready to install it will ask for your password to copy the files over.

Re: Howto compile Pidgin IM

Thanks, got it compiled. Took quite a bit to do so...
Not much different, as you said.

Any idea if removing Gaim will kill any dependencies?

Re: Howto compile Pidgin IM

I don't know... but since gaim and its libraries have changed names, I don't think there would be a problem with leaving the old gaim around.

Re: Howto compile Pidgin IM

Well, I didn't save it, so I'm making a new one
I edited out some group names and screen names to protect privacy

Re: Howto compile Pidgin IM

Anyone got a deb handy?

I'm temporarily on dialup so downloading all the development stuff will take a while.

Thanks
