Pidgin 2.12 Hangout plugin - Xenialpup command

#1 Post by soniabu »

Hello, everybody.
I'm bothering you because I can't find which commands to give in puppy to install the Hangout plugin on Pidgin.
In the installation instructions of Pidgin for the Ubuntu or Debian plugin,
I find these commands that if I copy them and enter them as terminal the result is this:

root# sudo apt-get install -y libpurple-dev libjson-glib-dev libglib2.0-dev libprotobuf-c-dev protobuf-c-compiler mercurial make;
sudo: apt-get: command not found
root# hg clone https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/ && cd purple-hangouts;
bash: hg: command not found
root# make && sudo make install

Can any of you direct me to the right commands for the Puppy xenialpu 7.5 OS?
thx Sonia

apt-get is not in Puppy and cannot be used.
Same for hg.

Post a link to the directions you are following for Ubuntu.
Let us see what they want you to download and install.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

ohh thx! Bigpup.
this is my goal to install on pidgin plugin hangout:
https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/
---
Debian/Ubuntu

Run the following commands from a terminal

sudo apt-get install -y libpurple-dev libjson-glib-dev libglib2.0-dev libprotobuf-c-dev protobuf-c-compiler mercurial make;
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/ && cd purple-hangouts;
make && sudo make install

Dear friends I solved by going to this url
https://cialu.net/how-to-configure-pidg ... ts-client/
where you can find how to configure Pidgin for Hangout.
it was so simple.
Anyway thanks for everything.
Sonia
P.S. I forgot,
to work with hangout you need to go to google auth
(Allow less secure apps to access your account)
https://support.google.com/accounts/ans ... 6521?hl=en
and authorize the enable.
The first time you run Pidgin without having authorized in google, google itself will send you an email notify : Attempt to log in blocked and asking you to go to Control activity
