You know how when you get info with TOC it only works 25% of the time?
This fixes that! I wrote the patch, but George Vulov was the one who
realized what was going on. Here's his post from the forums:
I was looking at the gaim TOC source and I noticed that when gaim
receives a GOTO_URL command, it appends the given url to
"http://toc.oscar.aol.com";. However, toc.oscar.aol.com resolves
to different servers at different times, so when one is logged on
using TOC for over 10 mins and requests someone's info, "<H1>The
requested URL 901450_722937 was not found on this server</H1>"
comes up. gaim should request the info from the specific toc
server it is connected to, instead of using toc.oscar.aol.com
So basically... we lookup the IP address of our connection socket
and keep that in TOC's protocol data. Then, when we get someone's
info, open http://64.12.163.214:port/bleh instead of
http://toc.oscar.aol.com:port/bleh
Thanks George, you da man.

How to build Gaim using MinGw ============================= Set Up Build Environment ------------------------ - Install Cygwin bash shell (www.cygwin.com). - Install MinGw v1.1 (http://www.mingw.org) Make sure to read the installation instructions. Make sure to set MinGw's bin directory in your PATH (in .bash_login), before Cygwin's bin dir (so that mingw's build tools are used over cygwin's). Install LIBs, DLLs and headers used by GAIM ------------------------------------------- Assuming you have the gaim sources in ~/gaim, you will need to do the fowllowing: GTK & GLIB (v 2.0.9 as of writing) ---------------------------------- $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips Download the following from thw win32 download page at www.gtk.org to the zips dir you just created: atk-1.0.3-20020821.zip atk-dev-1.0.3-20020821.zip gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904.zip glib-2.0.6-20020802.zip glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802.zip gtk+-2.0.6-20020921.zip gtk+-dev-2.0.6-20020921.zip libiconv-1.7-w32.bin.zip libintl-0.10.40-tml-20020904.zip libjpeg-6b-bin.zip libpng-1.2.4-1-bin.zip pango-1.0.4-20020921.zip pango-dev-1.0.4-20020921.zip tiff-3.5.7-bin.zip zlib-1.1.4-bin.zip Make sure that after unziping, the binaries (dlls and exes) have the correct executable permissions (e.g. "chmod 755 iconv.dll"): $ cd ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips $ unzip -d .. "*.zip" $ cd .. $ cp lib/libintl-1.dll ./bin $ cd libiconv-1.7-w32.bin $ cp iconv.exe ../bin $ cp iconv.lib ../lib $ cp localcharset.dll ../lib $ cp iconv.dll ../lib $ cp iconv.dll ../bin $ cp iconv.h ../include/ $ cp libcharset.h ../include/ NOTE: If you use a more recent versions of any of these packages, you may need to move files around so that they can be found when Gaim is built. Perl56 ------ Download perl-5.6.1 from www.cpan.org. You can build perl56 yourself if you have MS Visual C++, or you can download a win32 binary distribution (I tried SiePerl successfully). In either case make sure you do the following: $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/perl56 Copy Perl's "CORE" directory to ~/win32-dev/perl56 as well as "perl56.dll" and "perl56.lib". Aspell-15 --------- Download the dev package (aspell-15.tar.gz) from http://gaim.sf.net/win32, and untar it under ~/win32-dev. Gtkspell 2.0.3 -------------- Download the dev package (gtkspell-2.0.3-20021223.tar.gz) from http://gaim.sf.net/win32, and untar it under ~/win32-dev. Build Gaim ---------- $ cd ~/gaim $ make -f Makefile.mingw install Run Gaim -------- $ cd ~/gaim/win32-install-dir $ ./gaim.exe That's it.. Note: If you wish to build an install exe of Gaim, then you need to install NSIS from http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ making sure to place its binary dir in your PATH. Then... $ cd ~/gaim $ make -f Makefile.mingw installer Debugging --------- There is quite a good "Just In Time" debugger for MinGw: http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/gnu-win32/software/drmingw/ Happy Gaiming...
