Arch Linux User Repository

You should put in a check, to make sure the user is using a UTF-8 Locale; otherwise, it will fail to build.

Also, pkg-config files are not being included with the package. [Located in, build/meson-private/] They are not copied by the installer, as such a line to copy them, to "usr/lib/pkgconfig/" and symlink "pidgin-3.pc > pidgin.pc", as well as "purple-3.pc > purple.pc", would resolve it.

Thanks ^_^

Impossible to build. Package "webkitgtk3" does not exists.

Please change:
source=('pidgin::hg+https://bitbucket.com/pidgin/main#branch=default')
To:
source=('pidgin::hg+https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main#branch=default')
Otherwise mercurial repo download fails...

Is there a way to patch pidgin+libpurple to use webkit2gtk (gtk+3 already) rather than webkitgtk? Actually Arch considers webkit1 insecure, and deprecated:

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2017-January/028634.html

The package builds well, but you need to remove lines 95 and 96. Apparently the files to be deleted aren't there any more.

I'm unable to compile this:

Someone has already logged a ticket for it, but it's 4 weeks old:

Anyone wanting to use pidgin with Skype for Business needs to be running the latest dev versions of pidgin, pidgin-sipe and libnice from https://github.com/tieto .

However, you need to be careful when building pidgin-hg (after installing the tieto libnice) as it contains 2.x and 3.x (default) branches. You get a different branch when using this PKGBUILD depending on which was updated last. To force makepkg/hg to checkout the 'default', 3.x branch you need to change the source line to:

source=('pidgin::hg+https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main#branch=default')

The default branch now works properly against python3, please update the dependencies on python2 and python2-* to use python and python-* instead.

Also webkitgtk3 has been renamed webkitgtk, and you have tk two times in makedepends.
