porting finch to uClinux

Tue Jun 12 09:46:05 EDT 2007

I did seem to get past purple-client-example by disabling dbus, but I still fail in the examples and this type of failure also explains why I believe the build is still trying to link to host machine libraries instead of target libraries.

I suggest you start by trying --disable-dbus added to your ./configure
arguments. Once you have libpurple/finch going you can then look at
adding dbus support (as required by purple-client-example)

What makes you think this?
