Comment (by mvidas):

 Hi,

 Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. I wrote the plugin code, and
 followed the instructions in the BuildingWinPidgin wiki page to create the
 build environment to compile it. I fixed the coding errors I had, and now
 I'm stuck with an error I can't get past.  I'm going to paste the output
 from cygwin here, but if you think I should create a new ticket (or have a
 better idea of where I can ask this), please let me know.  Here is what
 came up for me:


 Matt at matts-desktop ~ [[BR]]
 $ cd pidgin-2.4.1/libpurple/plugins [[BR]]

 Matt at matts-desktop ~/pidgin-2.4.1/libpurple/plugins [[BR]]

 cannot find -lpurple [[BR]]
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [[BR]]
 make: *** [mvscreensaver.dll] Error 1


 All that resulted was the file mvscreensaver.dll.o. I got all the
 dependencies using the BuildEnvironmentFetcher listed on the wiki, and
 when going through it all it seems all my dependencies are up to date.
 Here is the include and lib sections of my makefile:


 {{{

 INCLUDE_PATHS +=        \
                         -I$(GTK_TOP)/include \

                         -I$(PURPLE_TOP)/win32

                         -lgmodule-2.0 \
                         -lintl \
                         -lws2_32 \
                         -lpurple

 }}}

 Any ideas? I appreciate any help you can give (even if it is just to point
 me somewhere else to ask)!
 Thanks :)
