[gaim-migrate @ 231] Added on the beginnings of file sending. Win clients can now figure out which file you're *trying* to send them, but can't get it. The AIM method of Get File is really fscked up, IMHO. I don't know if any of you are familiar with it, but I'll describe it. Some user decides they want to download a file from another user, so they choose Get File. It then returns a list of files available from that person, and they can choose which ones they want to download. The other person can't decide on a user-by-user basis which files are listed, only if any files are listed at all (not allowing people to download them). The way I'm going to implement it is when someone gets a message that another person is trying to download a file from them, it asks them which file they want to make available. You can only do one file at a time this way, but that's tough if you want to be downloading more than one file. Use gnutella or FTP or something that's better designed for it than AIM. But the way the win AIM clients are now, it acts as a public ftp server, and I think it shouldn't. 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.
