Hello everyone. I have been using xchat for 2 years. And I really enjoy it. I just installed Arch Linux 64 bit. I do love it and everything works fine so far. I downloaded the tar, ./configure works fine, but this is the output of make:
Any chance to get it working in Arch, please ?

Check out "hexchat". It's based on xchat. There's a package for hexchat, so you don't have to compile anything yourself.

chat was forked into Hexchat when Xchat start having problems compilling.
IS officially the unofficial spiritual successor
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?

Hi again. Thanks for the answers. I didn't like the Hexchat. I prefer Xchat over it I don't know much about compiling so I just wanted to understand what is ' #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly." exactly. Thank you anyway!

Means that you are compiling an old glib coded with new glib. You can:
1.- Change all the entries with error and change to #include <glib.h> on each xchat code.
2.- Find the archlinux package for the last xchat version binaries
3.- Use hexchat
4.- Find an alternative irc client

Moving to AUR Issues...

I'm rather mystified why you'd prefer xchat over hexchat since both essentially have the same user interface. IRC is also not the medium where you can safely use a 7 year old client with amassed security vulnerabilities (e.g. CVE-2013-7449 and CVE-2011-5129).

hi again. i replaced all
#include <glib/xxx.h>
entries with
#include <glib.h>
as @Joel talked about. Now I'm getting this while making
server.c: In function ‘ssl_cb_verify’:
server.c:601:47: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘X509_STORE_CTX {aka struct x509_store_ctx_st}’
X509_NAME_oneline (X509_get_subject_name (ctx->current_cert), subject,
^~
server.c: In function ‘ssl_do_connect’:
server.c:754:16: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘SSL {aka struct ssl_st}’
if (serv->ssl->session && serv->ssl->session->time + SSLTMOUT < time (NULL))
^~
server.c: In function ‘server_read_child’:
server.c:914:8: warning: unused variable ‘p’ [-Wunused-variable]
char *p;
^
here server.c https://justpaste.it/16ek4
so I'm not that good with codes and I don't know what this error is telling actually. Any ideas ?

Like others said before, xchat is a dead project and you should consider switching to another irc client. That said...
If you really want to use it then I suggest you take a look at fedora and debian patches for xchat?
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xchat.git/tree/
http://sources.debian.net/patches/xchat/2.8.8-7.3/
There are glib and ssl3 patches that might fix your issues?

As someone who just recently switched to hexchat:
There's not much of difference between hexchat and xchat
The quit/joins messages are now brownish, if someone pings you it's green.. the user interface looks the same.
You can move your xchat config to hexchat:
cp -R ~/.xchat2 ~/.config/hexchat
mv ~/.config/hexchat/xchat.conf ~/.config/hexchat/hexchat.conf
mv ~/.config/hexchat/servlist_.conf ~/.config/hexchat/servlist.conf
mv ~/.config/hexchat/xchatlogs ~/.config/hexchat/logs
sed -i 's/,#/\nJ=#/g' ~/.config/hexchat/servlist.conf
(source: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/HexChat/#Migration-von-XChat)
After having used both in the last weeks, the only reason I see to stay with xchat would be the logo.
