You're right. I attached another patch although I think that you
wouldn't need it. ;)

Please see the attached make.log. libpurple/internal.h includes errno.h
in line 86.

I know. It has been fixed in the current version of GTK+ anyway. I just
attached it in case someone else is stumbling over this thread.

My plugin wants a function named "InterlockedCompareExchange at 12" from
libpurple.dll which my libpurple.dll does offer and the official one
does not. From what Google says that was a bug in mingw that has been
resolved though I cannot find a change log that says when the fix was
introduced exactly. Additionally [1] says that there are binary
incompatibilities between libraries compiled with mingw32-gcc before and
after version 4.7.0 so I guess version 4.7.0 or later is required and I
have to install a more recent mingw32-gcc manually instead of using any
Ubuntu package, hm.

Thank you.
