I am running Mandrake 9.1 and I want to also use the CVS, not simply the releases. What changes do I need to make to get it to build? What are the differences between the normal rpm's and the mdk ones?

CVS is meant for those participating in the development of Gaim, and it breaks often. RPMs are much easier to use if you can find a reliable source, and releases will be made every 2 weeks or so (or even more frequently as 0.61 shows), so you can be assured you're never too far behind the development of Gaim. Please use the provided RPMs, SRPMs, or source tarballs. Thanks. -David Brigada <br...@pr...> |

I cannot compile the source because Mandrake bastardizes gtk and glibc. So...what needs to be done to compile on Mandrake, or what are the differences between the normal RPM's and the Mandrake ones? Or, how can I figure out what the differences are? Lenny |

If you are only using CVS because you can, and not because you wish to
do development, be aware that you really want to use the releases and
not CVS. The releases will be made on the order of every few weeks,
and CVS will frequently be broken. We do not want to repeat the
ridiculous state of 0.60cvs where every time a developer tried to do
actual development a horde of users came crying that their gaim was
broken, forcing major changes to be made in one huge commit.
If you really want to develop with gaim or against gaim CVS, you do
not need to make any changes to get it to build assuming you have the
correct auto* versions (listed in the FAQ). The only reason that the
Mandrake RPMS must be different is because Mandrake uses different
package naming and dependency schemes from EVERY OTHER RPM distro. I
suspect it is because they are French. (viz Gaul Mean Time, observed
by France until 1911, which is approximately 7 minutes different from
UTC; also the French inch, 1.0638 English inches.) As long as you are
not trying to build RPMs from the included gaim.spec, you should not
have any trouble.
