(10:39:51) rizzo: I don't see it (10:40:05) ***rizzo digs up his bug (10:40:57) rizzo: LSchiere2: I think pekka emailed it to -packagers list (10:41:01) rizzo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92251 (10:41:33) rizzo: from his email: (10:41:33) rizzo: Enclosed a small patch that makes the Gaim compile with SILC Toolkit 1.0. (10:41:33) rizzo: We had unfortunate timing when I released 1.0 at the same time you (10:41:33) rizzo: released Gaim 1.3 so I didn't have time to make the patch for 1.3.

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
