Comment:

 I built Pidgin 2.5.4 directly from source. I used a sparc/solaris machine
 and compiled just the minimum needed get Pidgin (and a few other things
 like KDE) running on that system.
 I'm using GTK+ version 2.4.9 as this is what's included in Solaris 10 and
 I wanted to build as few dependancies as possible myself.
 (Solaris 10 actually contains Gaim 1.5.0 as well but I thought it would be
 worth getting something newer to use.)[[BR]]
 The things I did compile myself for Pidgin was GetText (0.17) and
 Meanwhile (1.0.2). I've also compiled Pcre (7.8), Cups (1.3.9), GMP
 (4.2.4) and Qt (3.3.8) as dependancies for KDE (3.5.10).
 Everything else on the system are the default versions shipped with
 Solaris 10 8/07.
 I also skipped some dependancies that I didn't bother to find or build,
 the configure parameters are listed in the ticket description above and
 shows my disable parameters.


 The previous setup with Pidgin 2.3.1 was installed precompiled from
 http://www.blastwave.org/ together with a bunch of other packages. I'm not
 sure but I would guess GTK+ was also taken from there. I don't know which
 version I was using but latest available version today is 2.12.3.


 The reason for all this is my environment at work. On my previous
 workstation I could use the blastwave packages, but on my new workstatien
 I don't have the possibility to install packages myself, so I've compiled
 what I needed and placed in a writable directory.
 Due to the work environment being littered with old or broken libraries in
 various odd directories I didn't want the configure scripts to find, I did
 all the compiling on another maching with just a clean Solaris 10
 installation on. The Solaris libraries and paths are the same and ldd
 shows that Pidgin will use the correct libraries on my workstation as
 well.
