Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this email to ask you about Pidgin plug-ins. I am currently in my last year of studies at the University of Malta and for my thesis I have to implement a chat client extension which I need to connect to a Social Semantic Desktop program which is Nepomuk. Thus I need to build this extension and whilst researching for multiprotocol clients I came across your chat client of which interested me a lot.
I tried to build a helloworld plugin using C (http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/CHowTo/BasicPluginHowto) , on a Windows machine, but several steps that I followed did not result in the expected output as indicated in the tutorial. Also, when I use cygwin to perform a command, several commands that were indicated in the tutorial to perform, were resulting in several errors. Thus, what I am asking is if you have a more clear tutorial on how to create a Pidgin extension in C (since there is no Java support am I right?) and how will I connect this extension with Pidgin, in the sense that if for example I want to access all chat histories, how can this be made possible? I am asking you this since I need to know if it is possible if your chat client satisfies what I am looking for in my thesis. Also, the tutorial that I followed was last updated 3 years ago. Does it mean that development on Pidgin has stopped and not being updated? Thanks a lot for your help.
