Wayfarer247 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I know there is adium, and I know Leopard comes with iChat. I get it. Thank you, let's move on. I want to use Pidgin. Piding is open source, nice, and I use it with Linux and Windows, I want to be consistant. I have scoured the web, and still haven't found a reliable way to install Pidgin onto Leopard. So I turn to you to help me out. I'm sure some of you have done it, or know how to. I would really like to join you. For your information, I have an HP laptop running Kalyway's vanilla Kernel. I don't know if this matters or not. I think I have MacPorts installed, but it would be nice if you included how to make sure I have the newest version. Thank you very much!!

Wayfarer247 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Does anyone know how I can get Glib to work on Leopard? That is the stage I am stuck at atm.

vaporATX Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11 Works for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90210-pidgin/#findComment-647537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer247 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hmmm, this is stupid. I get this error: ethan-micks-mac-pro:~ ethanmski$ sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11 Password: Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "configure.ccache" Ugh, I swear I installed macports. I know I have. Could someone quickly guide me through it so I know that I have it installed on Leopard? If so, thanks!

Wayfarer247 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks, well, I installed Macports easily enough, and ran "sudo port selfupdate" and it worked. So I'm sure it is on. However, I tried: sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11 and got: ethan-micks-mac-pro:~ ethanmski$ sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11 ---> Fetching audiofile ---> Attempting to fetch audiofile-0.2.6.tar.gz from http://www.68k.org/~michael/audiofile/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for audiofile ---> Extracting audiofile ---> Configuring audiofile Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_audio_audiofile/work/audiofile-0.2.6" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local " returned error 77 Command output: checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... no checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables Error: The following dependencies failed to build: audiofile autoconf help2man p5-locale-gettext libtool m4 automake gtk2 atk glib2 cairo fontconfig libpng gtk-doc docbook-xml-4.1.2 xmlcatmgr docbook-xsl libxml2 scrollkeeper docbook-xml docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xml-4.3 docbook-xml-4.4 docbook-xml-4.5 libxslt p5-xml-parser jpeg pango render tiff intltool gnome-common libao nspr nss Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

vaporATX Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Try just straight: sudo port install pidgin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90210-pidgin/#findComment-648275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 do you have xcode installed? looks like it cant find gcc. if you dont have it installed, its on your Leopard DVD, if not its a free download from ADC at apple.com (needs a free account) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90210-pidgin/#findComment-648279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer247 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 @ sg, that is what I thought it looked like too, but I definitely recall installing xcode. However, my installation broke, and I reinstalled, using my backup from Time Machine (finally came in use). So maybe it died after that. I'm reinstalling all of xcode, and I'll give an update after that. Thanks for helping!

Wayfarer247 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Alright, and Update. I have Xcode and Macports both fully installed. I did: "$ sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11" and got pretty far, until this point, in which I got: ---> Fetching gtk2 Error: Please uninstall or deactivate the cairo port and reinstall it by running `port install cairo +quartz`. Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: cairo must be installed with the quartz variant enabled. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gtk2 intltool gnome-common libao nspr nss Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. ethan-micks-mac-pro:~ ethanmski$ sudo clean cairo +quartz Password: sudo: clean: command not found ethan-micks-mac-pro:~ ethanmski$ sudo port install cairo +quartz ---> Fetching cairo ---> Verifying checksum(s) for cairo ---> Extracting cairo ---> Configuring cairo ---> Building cairo with target all ---> Staging cairo into destroot ---> Installing cairo 1.4.14_0+quartz ---> Activating cairo 1.4.14_0+quartz Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: Another version of this port (cairo @1.4.14_0) is already active. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. As you can see, I tried to install cairo as it asked, but it said I already had it insatlled... wierd. I'm going to try just a plain "$ sudo port install pidgin" and see what happens.

Wayfarer247 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Scratch all that, I got Pidgin installed. Just plain ol' "$ sudo port install pidgin" However... now that It is installed, I still have some complaints. First of all, can I put it into my dock? If so, how? Right now, the only way I can get it to run is by searching for it and running the Unix Exectutable, so hints to that would be really useful. Also, when I run it, I get the terminal coming up, and I was curious if I could not have that happen as well. Thank you for all your help! You got Pidgin to work for me! Edit: How do you update?

Embio Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 am I allowed to question why you dont like Adium? I use Adium on OS X and Pidgin on Windows/Ubuntu/Debian - I like both and dont see a functional difference.

Sorry, the only ports programs I use in os x run in terminal. Never had a reason to add one to the dock. Maybe someone else can help with that. Update? "sudo port -v selfupdate" to update the ports tree. "port outdated" to list outdated ports. "sudo port upgrade <portname>" to upgrade the specific port.

Wayfarer247 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 @Embio~ I have nothing against Adium. For the small amount of time that i have used it, It hasn't done anything wrong. However, I like to be consistant, hense, I use Firefox on all 3 OS's rather than Safari in Leopard. Also, it was a challenge, and I completed it with the help of vaporATX. Thank you!

vaporATX Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 These links may help with the dock launcher issue: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...040131061625841 http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix...itemtodock.html There has to be a slicker way to do this, I'm just not finding it.
