No working Makefile in pidgin-2.11.0/libpurple/plugins about lurch HOT 4 CLOSED

I have a suspicion - I think the makefile in that directory might only be generated when you build pidgin itself.
(The whole reason for this complicated build is that I didn't want to take that makefile apart as it is autogenerated and hard to read. I guess I did not expect it to be autogenerated only when pidgin is compiled.)

Are the other problems related to libtool? It claims it makes compiling on different platforms easier, but it seems it does the opposite (a friend also ran into libtool problems on macos). I'll look into getting rid of libtool and building everything without the Pidgin source today. This part is really not well documented, unfortunately, but maybe I can find a good example.

Thanks for trying :D

Yes, they are. I had to add --tag=CC to each invocation of libtool or it would complain about the tag missing.
... What's funny is that now after successfully passing that part of the process, I can't reproduce this by removing the tag, not even by doing a "make clean" first.

Okay, I completely changed the build process in 9a43d65.
Maybe this will work better for you (and everyone else...).

Closing this because the pidgin tree is not in the build path any longer.
