SVN Build failure on Ubuntu

SVN Build failure on Ubuntu

Hello FunPidgin Developers,

Trying to compile SVN source on Ubuntu without success. I removed pidgin packages, installed build-deps for pidgin, checked out the SVN tree, configure-ed cleanly, and make bombed at the following point:

gcc -fPIC -Wall -ggdb -I. -DHAVE_LIBPURPLE -Wall -W -Wformat-nonliteral -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Winline -Wundef -Wnested-externs -Wcast-qual -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wno-unused-parameter -Wfloat-equal -pedantic -ansi -std=c99 `pkg-config --cflags purple` `pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0` directconn.c -c -o directconn.o
Package purple was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `purple.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'purple' found
In file included from directconn.c:29:
cvr/slpmsg.h:28:22: error: imgstore.h: No such file or directory
In file included from directconn.c:29:
...

Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?


Let me guess, it was trying

Let me guess, it was trying to compile msn pecan at that point? MSN Pecan was designed to be installed separately after libpurple so it thinks you have an existing libpurple on your system. A workaround is to keep libpurple-dev installed until after you build funpidgin.
