Hi Harald,
please note, that Pidgin source isn't the one which loads socket.h.
It's NSPR headers of your base OS (not mingw's NSPR!). In short, there
is no "socket problem" at all.
The problem is, your configure script has set include paths to your
OS, instead of mingw. Why? Because pkg-config doesn't scan mingw
packages (because you still didn't set PKG_CONFIG_PATH), but base OS
packages.
If defining PKG_CONFIG_PATH in way described in our wiki doesn't work,
that means Ubuntu located pkgconfig/*.pc files in some other location
- you need to find it. If you fail to, you can try OpenSUSE with mingw
repo added (see software.opensuse.org) - it works for me just fine.
