#281 Cannot compile pidgin-sipe from git

[Stephen Wright]

I'm trying to compile pidgin sip from the git version.

commit a614f6d122879d199ced9dc1ca258d52b0eda75d
Merge: 69a7176 4f34ae0
Author: Stefan Becker <chemobejk@gmail.com>

Using default ./configure options

I'm running Pidgin 3.0.0devel (libpurple 3.0.0devel)

I'm getting the following error when I run make

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -Werror -Wall -Wextra -Waggregate-return -Wcast-align -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wdeprecated-declarations -Winit-self -Wmaybe-uninitialized -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -Wunused-but-set-variable -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libpurple -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I./../api -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -g -O2 -MT libsipe_backend_la-purple-chat.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libsipe_backend_la-purple-chat.Tpo -c -o libsipe_backend_la-purple-chat.lo test -f 'purple-chat.c' || echo './'purple-chat.c

Let me know if you require any further information. Thank you for any help

Can't reproduce. Closing as WORKSFORME.

Ok do you think having gstream-1.x could have any issues with pidgin sip?

[Stefan Becker]

No, only src/purple/purple-media.c includes gstreamer headers. You could try to cross check this by adding "--without-vv" to the configure command line.

[Stefan Becker]

I can only explain your error message with an unclean build environment, i.e. purple 2 and 3 header are visible during compilation:

purple-chat.c:223:6: error: unknown type name ‘PurpleMessage’

int sipe_purple_chat_send(PurpleConnection *gc,
              int id,
#if PURPLE_VERSION_CHECK(3,0,0)
              PurpleMessage *msg)
#else
              const char *what,

# purple 2 interfaces:
$ find /usr/include/libpurple -type f | xargs fgrep -l 'PurpleMessage;'
$

# purple 3 interfaces:
$ find ../pidgin-install/include/ -type f | xargs fgrep -l 'PurpleMessage;'
../pidgin-install/include/libpurple/message.h

i.e. purple-chat.c included the purple 2 interface files.
