I need to build gaim for Windows from source for a project and I was wondering if there was a guide on doing this. I have never done this before. I assume I can build it using something like Microsoft C++ Express or something like that right? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There are likely a couple downloads you could skip, but for the most part building libGaim requires everything that building gtkGaim requires, so I'd try to stick as close to the instructions as possible.

Thanks Lee the instructions work well so I'm good.
JiveMasterT, I just built it following the instructions in the link above no Visual Studio or anything it just builds everything using gcc.
I did have one hiccup using the wingaim-build-fetcher.sh script. For some reason if I tried to checkout a tagged version from Subversion it appended /gaim on the end of the tag so it would execute a command like:

I am also new to gaim and interested in building gaim, well actually just libgaim. Here are some instructions:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/build.php
Now I haven't tried building, but could someone advise if these instructions are all necessary just to build the libgaim library?

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gaim/tags/v2_0_0beta5/gaim ./gaim
that tag doesn't exist, so I just manually executed
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svn/gaim/tags/v2_0_0beta5 ./gaim and it worked.
Then I was able to cd ./gaim/libgaim and just run make -f Makefile.mingw install and it built libgaim nicely.
Thanks, I'll have to mess with this now. I appriciate it.
