I’m sharing here ready-to-use development builds of Pidgin, with experimental support for various features. Please keep in mind, that you are using them at your own responsibility – this site is not official source of this software, its made just for getting it easier from official repository.
| Packet | Source | Last updated (version) |
|---|---|---|
| Pidgin3 + video (win32) | hg: main | 2013-06-08 (d44a3e57992c) |
| Pidgin3 + keyrings (source) | hg: masterpassword | 2013-05-16 (bebc1b64681e) |
| Pidgin3 + keyrings (win32) | hg: masterpassword | 2013-05-16 (bebc1b64681e) |
| libgadu 1.12.0-dev (source) | hg: gg11-libgadu | 2013-02-04 (dd791cc07ed0) |
| Pidgin3 + GG11 (source) | hg: gg11 | 2013-02-06 (c27e31267e8d) |
According to GG11 branch: at this moment there is only linux version available. Moreover, its necessary to install external libgadu (from package provided above).
Known problems
Missing libpurple.so when launching Pidgin: after updating from 2.x to 3.0.0 there may be necessity to run ldconfig tool with root privileges.
Lack of GTK3 themes: if you are encountering problems with this version of that library, you can always compile against older, using switch ./configure --with-gtk=2 --with-gstreamer=0.10.
Hello!
I was wondering if we could get some new builds, since going into 2014 I’m sure there’s been a number of improvements. Especially interested in Pidgin-VV for less fortunate Windows users.
Thanks!
I would like to publish a build after releasing libgadu 1.12.0 and merging my OTR plugin changes to its main branch. These two will allow me to integrate all the stuff I worked on into Pidgin’s main branch and this in turn will make it possible to release single build with all these features.
Unfortunately, I haven’t worked on Pidgin-VV since my last blog post, because I’m still not sure what direction should I face to: gst 0.10 is unstable on win32 and not maintained anymore, but 1.0 doesn’t have any replacement for GstPropertyProbe.
Any possibility of a new Windows VV build?
I’d like to support the wish for an updated Windows build ;-)
I know I promised to release a new build some time ago, but I got heavily engaged with a “small” hobby project. I’m now going on a few-weeks-long trip, but I’ll go back to work on Pidgin when I’m back.
Poke.
You should get automatic builds for this up. There’s a Jenkins instance at https://www.guifications.org/jenkins/view/Pidgin/, but I’m not sure if it’s building 3.x or 2.x, and in any case I can’t see any way to download builds from it. That’d sure make it a lot easier to follow development than “crosscompile it yourself” is :)
