Fwd: Re: problem compiling pidgin 2.10.10

[Matthias Apitz]

Please see below, how the problem was solved and what was causing it.

To Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus at freebsd.org>, net-im/pidgin is not facing the
problem because it builds pidgin with --disable-consoleui and due to
this without the finch part.

It works fine with a small change in the ./configure script:

$ diff configure.orig configure
17455c17455
<   GNT_LIBS="-lncursesw"
---
>   GNT_LIBS="-lncursesw -ltinfow"

Maybe it's an issue only with FreeBSD, or even with certain environments
of FreeBSD. It is fine without this change on 11-CURRENT, while the
above issue is with 10-ALPHA.

I think, we can close this thread. Thanks for your help.
