Pidgin Ports

Pidgin ports is a large meson project that allows you to build third party plugins for libpurple, Pidgin, and Finch easily.

Many of these plugins don't have build systems, or they have issues, this repository fixes that by using Meson subprojects to collect the source code, add a meson build system if necessary, and apply any patches required to build.

This is a work in progress and it's going to take us a while to get everything working for all platforms. Right now we are only targeting non windows platforms but I do plan on getting windows support here eventually.

Building

As this project uses Meson, you'll need to do the normal meson setup process:

meson setup build
cd build
ninja

We don't currently have installation working, so you'll need to copy files from the build directly manually at the moment, sorry about that.
