[gaim-migrate @ 10879] (21:35:19) nosnilmot: LSchiere: gaim_blist_add_group() should not really be #if 0'd out... does that need a patch? (21:35:38) LSchiere: why is it #if 0'ed? (21:35:50) nosnilmot: merging error afaict (21:35:52) interalia: datallah: talking to yourself is OK. it's when you answer that it becomes a problem... (21:35:54) LSchiere: i'm assuming it was done for a reason, temporary as that reason might be (21:36:04) nosnilmot: it's not #if 0'd in chip's svn tree (21:36:08) LSchiere: oddness (21:36:16) interalia: cvs annotate to the rescue! (21:36:23) LSchiere: was that part of datallah's patch failure handle patch? (21:36:49) datallah: yeah... i'm confused as to how it happened, but the first part happened during the plain merge and the #endif i added during the .rej cleanup iirc (21:37:31) nosnilmot: yup, datallah's right :) I suspect the #if 0 came in because "patch" was trying to "help" (21:37:47) LSchiere: okay, let's see what happens without that (21:38:11) nosnilmot: "it works a lot better and doesn't eat as many buddy lists for breakfast" (21:38:12) datallah: it definitely needs to not be commented out it compiles uncommented, so we'll go with their opinion committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

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.
