Pidgin doesnt compile

Xherziu · 2008-06-05 16:30:03

I do a ./configure and it breaks saying

Meanwhile development headers not found.

I give it a ./configure --disable-meanwhile ... it just continues on and says network manager headers not found

I saw the package in AUR and installed that but I rather compile my own pidgin, does anyone know what I do about the development headers?

Are you trying to compile 2.4.2? I can't get that beast to compile neither.. The repo and the alternate PKGBUILDS in AUR are all still at 2.4.1 so I guess no one gets this to compile.. The problem here is with autoconf for which there used to be a patch that doesn't apply anymore. I remember meanwhile being quirky too though.

Thank ya, I'll go look for an earlier package then

if you don't want that feature just use disable-etc when it's complains. i managed to build 2.4.2. if you want i can post PKGBUILD

That would be awesome, I can't just disable something, it are autoconf and libtool being nasty.

Ya that would be good Wonder, I tried to disable Meanwhile but then more headers just pop up...

Also, I compiled the latest gimp but I cant find the executable... can anyone run it?

EDIT -

a pacman -S gimp says that some of the packages are not found?

That sounds like gnome stuff I haven't got neither. Well thanks for the PKGBUILD
