How to Build Pidgin 3.0.0 for Windows on Ubuntu 14.04 amd64

[Tomasz Wasilczyk]

Hi,

please follow instructions on our wiki (the easy way):
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin/3.0.0

To be specific, you mixed your base OS pkgconfig with mingw's
gcc/libs/headers. Don't forget to set PKG_CONFIG vars.
