DESCRIPTION:
Gaim allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging
protocols, including AIM (Oscar and TOC), ICQ, IRC, Yahoo!,
MSN Messenger, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, Napster, and Zephyr. These
protocols are implemented using a modular, easy to use design.
To use a protocol, just load the plugin for it.
Gaim supports many common features of other clients, as well as many
unique features, such as perl scripting and C plugins.
Gaim is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by AOL.

Note
-----
If you like gaim, you can download native Win32 version from its homepage:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim
There is another Cygwin port which is built without plugin interface.
All protocals are linked in statically. I think it's more stable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To build Gaim for Cygwin GNOME with plugin support by yourself
(Refer to gaim-0.58.README for instructs to build a static version.)
Win32 doesn't allow undefined symbols in DLLs, you can't aceess symbols in EXE from plugins.
So it needs a special handling.
1. Make sure you have glib-devel, gtk+-devel installed.
If you have perl, esound, gdk-pixbuf, that would be nice.
If you want to build with GNOME panel applet support, you should have
gnome-libs, ORBit, gnome-core, gnome-applets.
2. Apply the patch gaim_0.58-cygwin-shared.patch.
Note that this patch is not complete yet:
* Building gaim as a GNOME panel applet is not full supported
You may need to get into protocols/*/Makefile.in modify -lgaim to -lgaim_applet
* Make order problem is not handled. src/cyggaim.dll should compiled before protocols
Type 'make cyggaim.dll' when get into src/ first.
When it finished, then make the protocols.
3. Perform configuration.
CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --disable-panel --disable-gnome
( If you want to compile gaim as a GNOME panel applet, you can omit --disable-panel and --disable-gnome option. )
4. Type make and pray. :-)
Note the make order issue mentioned before.
