Hi y'all,
i'd like to compile and use Pidgin on my Feisty box, but i don't like the plain make install, and checkinstall 1.6.1 produces a faulty package. I wanna compile it in a 'portable' way, so that everything gets installed into a single directory, just like the official Firefox and Thunderbird releases (you just unpack it and run). Is it possible to achieve with ./configure and make parameters? If yes, how? TIA for any help.
