![]() ( Note: The pidgin-macosx from Sourceforge may be at a older version than the MacPorts version. Step 1: sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11 Step 0: Install MacPorts, if you haven’t got it already. If you’re using MacPorts: For something which has had fewer changes from the original Pidgin, you can install it through MacPorts: dmg file from pidgin-macosx on Sourceforge, and double click on the Pidgin application. One-step simple way: All you have to do is download the. And maybe I can take a little credit for small improvements here and there, and nagging people into making certain changes :-)) (And of course, the Pidgin developers for writing Pidgin, and Richard Hult from Imendio AB for GTK+OSX. Installing Pidgin on Mac OS X is now as simple as installing any other Mac OS X application, thanks to a train of effort from many people, starting with Anders Hasselqvist (“nevil”) for writing the patch with the gtkstatusicon implementation, Thomas Reifferscheid (reiffert) for including it on MacPorts, and finally Albert Zeyer for building it with Xcode and the GTK framework and making a. This is very simple to do and requires only one step, described below. Install Pidgin to run on the Mac desktop directly (without X11), using native GTK+ for Mac OS X and some minor modifications to Pidgin.It is cumbersome, and I would not recommend it unless you are already doing much of your work inside X11 for some reason. However, using an X11 app on OS X is really like entering another universe entirely… it’s like having two entirely disjoint OSes that just happen to run simultaneously. Any default distribution of Pidgin should build fine on this, as long as you have all the dependencies installed. On the other hand, if you, like me, have tried Adium and have reasons for finding it unusable, then it is possible to install Pidgin on OS X too. ![]() Being a native Cocoa application, it is more well-integrated with the Mac desktop than a GTK-using application like Pidgin can ever be. It has several popular features such as message styles, and uses the Cocoa API native to Mac OS X, and all round looks pretty. libotr-4.1.So you’re on Mac OS X, and want to use Pidgin on it.įirst: Why not use Adium? Adium is a Free multi-protocol IM client for Mac OS X that uses libpurple, the IM library that was developed as part of Pidgin. disable-dependency-tracking -disable-idn -disable-dbus \Īdd -enable-consoleui if you want to compile finch. disable-schemas-install -disable-vv -enable-nss \ disable-sm -disable-gestures -disable-startup-notification \ disable-gstreamer -disable-meanwhile -disable-nm -disable-screensaver \ configure -disable-avahi -disable-consoleui \ # either install internationalized domain name support (brew install libidn) or add -disable-idn (shown) So download from source and follow: # if not the latest download sources and compile as followsĮxport PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/`ls /usr/local/Cellar/libxml2 | tail -1`/lib/pkgconfig/Įxport PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/`ls /usr/local/Cellar/gettext | tail -1`/bin We will not use the brew provided formula because there are too many dependency issues. This will differ between homebrew and macports. Of note, before getting to this stage I had already previously installed gtk+ and gtk+3 in homebrew. configure couldnt find ( find /usr/local -name \*.pc). I build up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH show by finding each. Now I'm starting with a fresh homebrew setup and needed to guide pkg-config a bit and install some missing gtk packages. When I compiled with macports I already had a large installation of ports so only configure/compile was needed. configure -prefix=/opt/local instead)įor homebrew: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATHįor macports: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH Enchant cd enchant-1.6.0 ![]() Downloaded from source since current brew does not support and there are way too many brew related dependencies to deal with to merge a new formula.
