[gaim-migrate @ 322] I don't know why I did this. I have homework due in 15 hours that I haven't started yet, and it's in a language I don't know and it's a project I don't understand. If my teacher knew about this, he would be pissed. He looks pissed all the time, even when he's not. When he smiles he looks devilish. Maybe I only think that because literally half the class flunked the midterm. I am not joking about that. More people got F's than A, B, and C combined. It's 2 am and the homework's due at 5 tomorrow so what do I do? Get chat to work. Wow. That's going to look good on my resume. "Why did you flunk this class?" "Because I was getting chat in Instant Messenger to work." Not that that's not something to be proud of, but I wonder which is more important to employers. The big battle, experience versus education. Just because you got good grades in college doesn't mean you're smarter than someone who flunked, it just means you put in the effort necessary to get a better grade and the other person didn't. Maybe the person who flunked was working on real honest-to-god actually *used* software, as opposed to some stupid tree that only gets used for a fringe branch of computer science that doesn't offer much more than a normal heap or binary search tree offers. Maybe the person was out there reverse-engineering protocols and allowing cross- platform communication to occur, creating interoperability and causing a greater demand not only for the product, but for the platform it runs on! Given the choices, who would you pick? Someone who was told how to code a tree and managed to get it to work, or someone who increases your userbase and marketability? Enough of my rant for a while. I've had waaaaay too much sugar (gummy candy is deadly). committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Build:

./configure ; make 
for the stock version.  ./configure --help to see what option you can get.

You need GTK 1.2.3.  I don't wanna hear about it, if you can't get it to
work under a lower version.

Run:

type "./gaim"

If you want to build as a GNOME applet:
./configure --enable-gnome ; make
then su to root and run "make install". 
Afterwards panel->Add applet->Network->Gaim should be there.

Notes:

This should now compile under Solaris, Digital Unix, Irix, etc w/o a
problem.
This compiles without warnings on Linux-x86 2.2.10 glibc2.1, GTK 1.2.3 system.
If you get warnings on something else, let me know and I'll check it out.
If you get errors, upgrade to the latest GTK-1.2 before bothering me.

The resulting executable is standalone, so you can put it in /usr/bin or
whatever.

The panel (if you made an applet) requires certain things to be in certain
places, but the Makefile/configure script should figure things out for you.
Make sure to enable GNOME sounds if you want gaim sounds for the applet.

Send me bug reports.  The web page is http://www.marko.net/gaim and the ftp
site is ftp://ftp.marko.net/pub/gaim

Keep your eyes out for updates, and I'll try to keep the program maintained.
Other contributors and patches are welcomed.  Please read the FAQ first.
