Works fine. Thanks!

rstrox commented on 2015-10-06 18:52 (UTC)

Cool, thanks -- I updated the package with that minor version. Since the comparison uses '... >= MINOR ...' in the patch, I think nothing should break. Can you test it out and let me know if it works for you?

Sorry for lack of information: I found the value after running Pidgin in debug "pidgin -d" and found the following output: (13:50:55) sametime: client id: 0x1002 (13:50:55) sametime: client major: 0x001e (13:50:55) sametime: client minor: 0x196f I hope this helps

rstrox commented on 2015-10-06 16:36 (UTC)

Where did that value come from? I don't see it on a quick Google search. Additionally, I'll be unable to test this package fully since we no longer use Sametime.

Hi, I encountered an issue with the groupchat crash issue via pidgin. I have fixed it by editing fix_groupchat.patch to use #define NEW_FORMAT_SERVER_VER_MINOR 0x196f

rstrox commented on 2014-08-12 19:45 (UTC)

Nifty, pkgrel updated with that. Everything still works too, yay! Edit: I saw some inconsistent behavior after a couple restarts of pidgin with the below CFLAGS, so I just hardcoded in a subset of the defaults (removed -O, -fstack-protector-strong, and -march=x86_64) until gcc 4.9.x is more reliable.

themoken commented on 2014-08-12 15:06 (UTC)

Ah, right. So I thought it was the GCC version (Debian's is built with 4.7 and works which is why I tried) but I guess it was just that flag. Good call. You probably want to modify just that flag of CFLAGS instead of overriding the whole thing though. The gcc-47 PKGBUILD has something like this: CFLAGS=${CFLAGS//-fstack-protector-strong/-fstack-protector} export CFLAGS to override just that part of CFLAGS. Maybe you could do the same?

rstrox commented on 2014-08-11 21:28 (UTC)

PKGBUILD modified to use -fstack-protector instead of the default -fstack-protector-strong. Everything looks good here, using freshly installed pidgin-mini (with modified PKGBUILD to include meanwhile/sametime prpl) and meanwhile packages. Thanks for the heads up!

themoken commented on 2014-08-11 18:15 (UTC)

On second thought, I think I'll wait to see if Linus' complaints about 4.9.0/1 will mean that 4.9.2 will fix this...

themoken commented on 2014-08-11 18:03 (UTC)

Just a PSA: I found out that it appears that GCC 4.8 or 4.9 broke this package with pidgin. It will still build, but I was unable to log in to any of our Sametime servers (it always said verification down). I compiled this package (but not pidgin or libpurple) with the gcc-47 package from the AUR, and it works again. You can do the same thing by installing gcc-47, modifying /etc/makepkg.conf to temporarily change "-fstack-protector-strong" to "-fstack-protector" in your CFLAGS, and then building this with "CC=gcc-4.7 yaourt -S meanwhile" or whatever AUR helper you use. There's probably a slicker way to change the CFLAGS without modifying makepkg.conf but I was in search of a sure-fire method =P I'll take a look at the source to see if I can fix it for real with a patch.

rstrox commented on 2013-10-04 14:29 (UTC)

Package adopted and updated, thanks!

skrobul commented on 2013-10-03 08:23 (UTC)

Hi rstrox, I don't use arch anymore so I cannot really go ahead with this. I have just orphaned this package so please feel free to grab it and incorporate fixes yourself. thanks!

rstrox commented on 2013-10-02 19:08 (UTC)

Would it be possible to incorporate a fix for Sametime ~8.5, where Pidgin crashes upon accepting a group chat invite? I created an updated PKGBUILD and patch at [1], the bug can be found at [2], and the patch was taken from [3].

skrobul commented on 2012-08-07 10:59 (UTC)

done.

viniavila commented on 2012-05-07 12:11 (UTC)

Please, update this PKGBUILD with fix_glib patch.

kurych commented on 2012-04-29 07:02 (UTC)

Thanks, themoken! It's did very helpful for me.

commented on 2012-04-05 01:44 (UTC)

Hey I just tried to build with glib from [testing] and meanwhile's includes are now broken because they explicitly include headers other than <glib.h>. I got it to compile by patching it to only include <glib.h> instead of the various other includes. http://codezen.org/static/fix_glib_includes.patch I also tarred up a modified PKGBUILD for anyone that wants to build it easily before the new glib drops. http://codezen.org/static/meanwhile.tar.gz

viniavila commented on 2011-10-18 13:39 (UTC)

if you want use meanwhile in Pidgin and/or Empathy, use my updated package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44209 libpurple-meanwhile! To active support to Empathy, install telepathy-haze and telepathy-salut

Alibloke commented on 2010-12-28 12:52 (UTC)

For those that use the meanwhile libraries with pidgin, try out libpurple-meanwhile. An AUR package that you can automatically upgrade with yaourt, without the need to manually compile pidgin from abs all the time.

Alibloke commented on 2010-12-07 21:18 (UTC)

updated thanks

commented on 2010-12-06 02:59 (UTC)

I found some issues with your tarball. Most folks just keep everything in $pkgname/, instead of nesting stuff. Use "makepkg --source" instead of whatever tar command you were using. Please fix this.

Alibloke commented on 2010-10-26 16:28 (UTC)

Release 2 includes patches to fix the broken user status: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/58
