Why are you trying to build an ancient version (there are lots of known security issues)? > $ make -f Makefile.mingw install > . > . > . > C:\cygwin\home\MyPC\win32-dev\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: > BFD 2.17.50 20060824 internal error, aborting at ../../src/bfd/reloc.c line > 5017 in bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents > > C:\cygwin\home\MyPC\win32-dev\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: > Please report this bug. > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > Makefile.mingw:170: recipe for target 'pidgin.dll' failed You're getting an internal error in the gcc linker - if you google "BFD 2.17.50 20060824 internal error, aborting at ../../src/bfd/reloc.c line 5017" you'll find lots of hits - its a bug of some sort in the old gcc version you're using. You'll have a lot easier time trying to build the latest version of pidgin (currently 2.10.9). -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
