Comment (by lameventanas):

 I tried to build pidgin 3.0.0 on win32 following the instructions in
 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin/3.0.0 as closely as
 possible.
 I came across so many problems on the way, but at the end could obtain a
 win32 binary.

 But my build doesn't work, when I run pidgin it complains about a missing
 libgstinterfaces-0.10-0.dll.  After copying the dll, I still get this
 error:

 {{{

 Loaded exchndl.dll
  Setting exchndl.dll LogFile to C:\cygwin\tmp\pidgin.RPT

 Setting locale: LANG=en
 Looking for Perl... not found.
 Looking for MIT Kerberos... not found.
 Error loading pidgin.dll.
 Error: (126) The specified module could not be found.

 This probably means that GTK+ can't be found.
 }}}

 Some developer should really check the instructions in
 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin/3.0.0, and I mean start
 from scratch following the instructions there.
