What platform are you trying to obtain this for? If it's Windows, there is a method to compile Pidgin without the additional plugins or build them statically, but you could also just unpack the zip distribution, remove the DLL files for protocols you don't want then redistribute it. You can do the same with other binary releases by removing the .so files for those protocols and repackaging. > Can I get someone to help me out with doing this and send me the > edited version of pidgin? If you are on a platform other than Windows, this is a strange request because as I indicated previously there is no modification needed to the software to remove support for protocols you don't want, you simply select not to compile them when you run the configuration script. For details on building Pidgin, see: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#Compiling If you are looking for a custom binary build of Pidgin lacking everything besides XMPP, preparing one depends on what platform you intend to your software, including knowledge of which versions of various dependencies will be present, CPU architecture and operating system. It is probably best that you familiarize yourself with the process of building Pidgin and perform the task yourself on a machine configured similarly to the one you intend to run the software on, so that you can keep your limited distribution up to date in case there are bugs in the core code or XMPP that have stability or security implications. For that reason I would certainly recommend against pulling the Gaim/Pidgin 1.5.x code because it will be riddled with these defects and the responsibility to correct them would fall entirely to you. > I'll be willing to pay a widows mite if the person can help me edit it and > send. > > If you can or know someone who can please do get in touch with me so I > can explain in details what I want done. This is not something I'm up to, but perhaps someone else is willing. Kevin
