Compiling Pidgin--gtk-dev not found

[Colin Gan <beshimi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to compile Pidgin with ssl support (I would like to use MSN), but it seems that it can't find gtk-dev even though I have it installed, so it fails during ./configure.

"You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Pidgin."

I modified the same receipt from the tazwok repo. Actually, even unmodified, it doesn't compile. How did you manage to make the Pidgin package with this problem?

The receipt I am using is:

# SliTaz package receipt.

PACKAGE="pidgin"
VERSION="2.5.1"
CATEGORY="network"
SHORT_DESC="Instant messaging client using GTK+."
MAINTAINER="pankso@xxxxxxxxxx"
DEPENDS="gtk+"
BUILD_DEPENDS="gtk+-dev gnutls-dev libgcrypt-dev libgpg-error-dev
    startup-notification-dev"
TARBALL="$PACKAGE-$VERSION.tar.bz2"
SUGGESTED="gnutls"
WEB_SITE="http://www.pidgin.im/"
WGET_URL="$SF_MIRROR/$PACKAGE/$TARBALL"

# Rules to configure and make the package.
compile_rules()
{
    cd $src

    ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \

}

    cp -a $_pkg/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/* $fs/usr/share/pixmaps
}



Thanks,


Colin
