Gaim 0.82.1

Hey.. i know gaim is being properly maintained .. but i just had to upgrade to 0.82.1 because of the new feature that allows me to set the encoding ..
I'm not sure if my PKGBUILD is compliant with Arch rules .. so forgive me if isn't ... just makepkg and pacman -F the package ..
It worked for me :-)

PKGBUILD

pkgname=gaim
pkgver=0.82.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Gaim instant messenger"
url="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/"
license=""
depends=('startup-notification' 'gtk2' 'libao' 'gnutls' 'tk' 'gtkspell')
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gaim/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Re: Gaim 0.82.1

Fix the source..you're missing a "bz2" . And while I'm at it...I tried compiling this a looong time ago..like when it was first released..but something was mucked up on the SF servers and it claimed that the file didnt exist. *shrug* hey, it works now

Re: Gaim 0.82.1

shouldn't the prefix be /opt/gnome?
gaim is a gnome application, after all.

Re: Gaim 0.82.1

The prefix should be /usr.  Gaim is not a gnome app, it is a GTK app.  Gaim runs perfectly fine without the gnome libaries.

Also:  If you don't really wanna wait for the new version to be official released, you can just go into abs /var/abs/network/gaim.. up the PKGBUILD to the new version and makepkg... It's easier then making a PKGBUILD 8)

Re: Gaim 0.82.1

and there is still that issue about gtkspell in bugtracker.
looks like you could disable it on the config line and take it out of
depends till the matter is cleared up.

cheers,
