So, yeah, we're supposed to be working on 1.4. It's bothering me that we have a
broken libpurple build on adium, though.
It seems that glib is the source of the breakage... which is odd, since it
hasn't changed; breakage dates to my last libpurple framework commit.
I decided maybe it was my machine's fault. I took my Mac Mini, which had a
fresh 10.6 install, and installed XCode on it. Checked out adium, and tried to
run the dependency build scripts on this virginal machine.
1) I couldn't get glib to compile, because it couldn't find libintl. This,
despite libintl seeming to build as part of the gettext process and
subsequently showing up in build/lib.
So after much messing with it, I just installed gettext to the system via
macports.
Leading to...
2) Now, glib does admit that libintl exists, and tries to link against our
freshly built library (in build/lib). However... it can't, because:
[evands:Gazebo] [19:52:33] [Thu May 20] [~/adium/Dependencies]
=> file build/lib/libintl.dylib
build/lib/libintl.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
gettext isn't building universally. Hm?
When the gettext build process (in xcompile()) gets to configuring the ppc
architecture, it errors out:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

Any thoughts, o brilliant minds? I'm not sure how this is working elsewhere...
does some magic need to be done before cross-compiling is possible?
