Pidgin for ubuntu 6.10

zz from http://swik.net/User:dnoble/Distributed+Collaboration+Blog/Pidgin+on+Ubuntu+6.10+(Edgy+Eft)/8ik1

1. Get the source bundle from the Pidgin download site

http://pidgin.im/pidgin/download/source/

2. Extract the contents

tar jxf pidgin-2.0.0.tar.bz2
cd pidgin-2.0.0

3. Install some prerequisites

sudo apt-get install \
    libglib1.2-dev \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libgtk2.0-dev

sudo apt-get install \
    libnspr-dev \
    libnspr4 \
    libnspr4-0d \
    libnss3 \
    libnss3-0d \
    libnss-db \
    libnss-dev \
    libssl0.9.8 \
    libssl-dev \
    openssl \
    ssl-cert

(Thanks to the Ubuntu forums for tips on the SSL library packages)

4. Configure the build

Override defaults pointing to older versions of GLib and GTK, then generate the makefiles and other build configuration.

export GLIB_LFLAGS=-lglib-2.0
export GLIB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include"

export GTK_LFLAGS="-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lcairo -latk-1.0"
export GTK_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include \
       -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/atk-1.0"

export pango_LIBS=-lpango-1.0
export pango_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/pango-1.0

export CFLAGS="$GLIB_CFLAGS $GTK_CFLAGS $pango_CFLAGS"

./configure

Add a "--prefix=DIR" option to the configure command if you prefer to specify a custom installation directory.

****************************************************************************
 ./configure 出現錯誤

checking for LIBXML... no
no
configure: error:

You must have libxml2 >= 2.6.0 development headers installed to build.

于是安裝
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
*****************************************************************************



5. Build the software

make

If that doesn't work, redirect the output of "make" to a file and search for the string "errors:" to see what went wrong:

make > OUTPUT 2>&1

6. Install the software

sudo make install

If you ran the configure script with a custom prefix option pointing to a directory that you can write to without root privileges, then you can run "make install" without the "sudo".

7. Done

So that's it. If you are upgrading from Gaim 1.5, all of your configuration will be copied from the .gaim directory to .purple in your home directory. Your log files will also be moved, but a symbolic link will point from the .gaim/logs directory to the .purple/logs directory.
