Mark,
You also need the gtkspell-devel package.

You probably need to install the devel RPM; right now you have the 
runtime library but no way of building code that uses it.

make sure you have libgtkspell0 and libgtkspell-dev (debian package

You should be able to do ./configure --disable-perl and not use
libperl-dev. You'll always need the foo-dev files when it comes to
compiling things, though. :)

[Gaim-devel] Gaim CVS Debian: works great!

[Prabhu R. <pr...@ae...>]

hi,

I've been having all sorts of problems with Yahoo's latest Linux
client for Yahoo messenger.  It kept crashing so I decided to give
Gaim a shot and just got Gaim off CVS (gtk1-stable) and installed it
on my Debian Woody system and it works great with Yahoo and Jabber!
Thats all I've tested to so far.

It was very easy to build and get running.  The only problem I had was
that I needed to install libperl-dev to get it to compile.  I did have
libperl5.6 installed but it was not enough.

Thanks for the excellent software!

cheers,
prabhu

It's in RH8's gnome-panel rpm, and it's also in Debian experimental as
system-tray-applet. If you use some other distro you can still grab the
tarball from a Debian mirror:

Re: [Gaim-devel] [PATCH] Fix $http_proxy handling

[Luke S. <lsc...@gm...>]

how dows your patch affect people who have manually set their proxy 
information? yes, theoretically, such settings should be identical to 
the environment variables, but we cannot assume that users will desire 
that. if, not using stcmp, the settings are different, will this code 
cause the settings to be over-written?

Hmm, I'm not sure how old that is. I can't remember if it's the one I
made recently or not.

Your best bet is to check our the sources, make dist, rpm -ta
gaim-vernum.tar.gz.

Or just use CVS as-is.

There's not even one for RH7.3 right now. I'll bring this up
again sometime, but I've been too busy. I don't know when a Red Hat 8

This is not eggtrayicon.c. =)

When the docklet (or nowadays, tray icon =) is visible, the plugin
calls docklet_add in buddy.c to increment a counter, letting Gaim know a
docklet is present. When it is no longer visible, docklet_remove is
called, and the counter decremented. The presence of this variable
basically changes the following behaviours:
 * hide_buddy_list (used by eg the iconaway function) hides the blist
   instead of minimising it
 * close_buddy_list (used when you click the X on the blist) calls
   hide_buddy_list instead of exiting Gaim
 * the blist window is hidden when you minimise it (or specifically, it
   gets a window status change event, and it was iconify)

In the course of writing this e-mail, I think I worked out the problem.
When you change desktop with a wm, it's the same as iconifying all the
visible windows, and de-iconifying all the ones on the desktop you
selected. This hide-on-minimise code cannot currently (or maybe ever)
distinguish whether it was user originated or WM originated, and so will
probably be removed or made optional.

If this is the case, you should still be able to click the tray icon to
raise the buddy list again. If it disappears when you can't see a tray
icon, then this is a bug that needs further investigation. A good
starting point in this case would be to watch the debug output (gaim -d
2>&1 | grep docklet) and to see if docklet_count is being incremented
when Gaim starts up, even if a tray icon is not being displayed.

Hopefully this is not the case, and the buddy list disappearing when you
switch desktop is just an inconvenience and not a permanant 'gaim
disappeared' situation. I did try very hard to make this never happen -
the hide-on-minimise code was a contributed patch anyway. :P

  The attached patch is much much better and doesn't look as an evil
hack as the previous. Anyway, the concerned code may well disappear soon
if we want to fully use gtk2's features.
