I've compiled a build of 2.11.0 for Puppy 4.3.1... but it's showing issues in testing (which may just be my existing Pidgin settings/.purple folder), so at the moment, it's still undergoing testing.

(Original post:) These builds have been compiled primarily for Puppy 4.3.1, although they reportedly work on a number of Puppy 5 setups, as well. (Thanks again to dejan555, for all your help.)

Dependencies: As of Pidgin 2.10.10, I'm compiling Pidgin against gnutls 3.2.13, so you'll probably need to have that installed.

gnutls-3.2.13-i486-431.pet (May also need gmp-6.0.0-i486-431.pet and nettle-2.7.1-i486-431.pet to be installed.)

Also, you may need the following to be installed:

dejan555 wrote:Dependencies: (if you have previous version with deps already installed you don't need these)
libgcrypt-1.4.6-i486-431.pet || libgpg-error-1.10-i486-431.pet || libtasn1-2.9-i486-431.pet

The builds:
(The DEV, DOC and NLS packages are optional and not necessary for Pidgin to run. You'll only want to download them if you have a specific need for them. The DEV package contains development headers, for those who want to compile code against Pidgin. The DOC package is for the documentation, and the NLS package is for additional languages.)
(Edit: As of July 28, all but two of the datafilehost links are dead, so I'm removing them for the time being. If you do happen to need one of my earlier builds, let me know and I'll reupload it to datafilehost.

Good pet
It works on dpup exprimo 5.X.3.2.14.2 too

Posted: **Tue 19 Feb 2013, 01:57**

Thanks. Hmm... should I go ahead and list it in the post as working with "4.3.1 and later," instead? What does everyone think?

Is there any way you could get pidgin-encryption compiled for this? I've tried everything I could to get it compiled and it just doesn't seem to work for me.

If you could get pidgin-encryption (and OTR if you are bored) compiled I would be highly appreciative.

Posted: **Wed 27 Feb 2013, 05:48**

I haven't tried pidgin-encryption, but I've been having problems getting the latest version of pidgin-otr to build properly, and I'm trying to figure out why. I did have a previous version compiled (see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 439#634439), but I don't know if it's still advisable to use that version.

And it also works on Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.5

Posted: **Sun 21 Jul 2013, 10:24**

Works great on Upup Precise 5.4.x.6, and on Upup Precise 3.8.3.1

But it cannot connect on Slacko 5.5

I get a message like: unable to connect: SSL unavailable

Posted: **Sun 21 Jul 2013, 19:29**

Did you try installing the dependencies in the post I linked to above (in the first post)? Or, just to be safe, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64385. Especially gnutls.

Posted: **Sun 21 Jul 2013, 21:52**

Thanks Makoto,
After installing those 4 dependency pets it works now in Slacko 5.5 too

Posted: **Tue 23 Jul 2013, 08:06**

I am happy to inform you all that Pidgin is working fine in my Precise Puppy 5.6.9 (beta1). No dependency installed.

In build Pidgin in Precise Puppy is not having yahoo, Gtalk and Facebook addon facility. Whereas pet provided by Shri "Makoto " is having everything. Very good work.

Posted: **Tue 23 Jul 2013, 18:05**

Should I change the description in the first post to something like "built primarily for Puppy 4.3.1, but should work on most Puppies, 4.3.1 and later," yet?

Posted: **Sun 22 Dec 2013, 13:46**

Yes you should

And it runs in Slacko 5.6, Dpup Exprimo 3.6.2.1, and Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 too.

Posted: **Thu 26 Dec 2013, 07:45**

Okay, I've made some edits to the OP. Let me know what you think.

Posted: **Thu 26 Dec 2013, 13:33**

Well out of curiosity I tested on puppy 4.12 and it works...
I did not add the gpg libs which affect the libgg and libssl-gnutls so only needed if those particular functions are needed.

Are you sure you don't already have at least gnutls installed in some form?

Posted: **Fri 27 Dec 2013, 12:08**

No...it simply does not load the plugins lacking libs like vlc does. I gave it a test out on irc and all was fine.

The version I have at the moment (2.5.8 which gave yahoo and msn fixes at the time) uses libnsl for gadugadu and has ssl-nss instead of gnutls which uses the mozilla libraries...I could probably drop them in if I was being lazy

mike

edit..ok dropped in the ssl-nss and libgg plugins from the older version and they work...yahoo connected and gg shows an active plugin...so lazy I am....

gnutls tends to be the ubuntu/debian version ...

Posted: **Sat 28 Dec 2013, 08:34**

I just meant that if Pidgin executed, you already had the dependencies installed in some form.

I didn't think 4.1.2 had them preinstalled, though.

Posted: **Sat 28 Dec 2013, 12:54**

You are right those dependancies are not included.... but at least if someone wanted your build of 2.10.7 on 4.12 its useable with a minor plugin swap... I presume its probably configurable at build time as to which ssl is used but there's no need for anyone to get that involved for us oddball users

Nice tidy build too...some are way over the top.

Pidgin 2.10.8 has been released. See the main post for the link to the changelog and downloads.

Oops, forgot to ask...

How so? I don't think I've ever really seen any Pidgin pets/builds that weren't more or less basic.
