I've right now compiled 2.7.6 on FreeBSD 8.x. It has two issues: 1) the MSN certificate issue; the certificate is not validated after the start of pidgin; it takes a while and it seems that if pidgin contacts some of the *.contacts server it works, while it does not for others; I could run it with --debug to get a list of the IP addrs... 2) to get NLS support (for example a Spanish GUI) I must run the ./configure as: $ CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' ./configure --disable-nm --disable-tc and enable '#define ENABLE_NLS 1' in config.h by hand; this was already the case with 2.6.2 and easy to solve, because I saved the old mail :-) Thanks for your work in any case matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <g...@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/ _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
