[gaim-migrate @ 143] Let's see if I can remember everything I did: - Fixed a bug I let slip. If you choose the new option to not play login sounds when you log in, and then quit before the timeout is up, it would save that you didn't want login sounds at all. - Added two new plugin events: event_away and event_buddy_away. - Made GtkWidget *imaway in away.c and void play(uchar *, int) in sound.c not static any more (though not referenced in gaim.h). This is so plugins can use those (and not have to worry about writing their own sound code). - Wrote a quick plugin to auto-iconify windows when you go away. I had just been locally patching my own copy, since I figured it wasn't worth including as an option. It also demonstrates some of the issues of deciding between USE_APPLET and not. Perhaps plugins are the way to go with some things that would otherwise have been options (for example, the Lag-O-Meter is one of those things that could possibly have been a plugin instead of hard-coded in). I think that's everything. 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.

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.
