This software is released with a .c file and not a make system. The author expects the user to compile the source file from within the gaim source and then copy the resultant library to the /usr/lib/gaim directory. With this in mind, I have modified a stable gaim ebuild to include the compilation of the gaim-lightthink plugin. Don't know if this will ever make it to the tree, but it did work on my thinkpad and the software is actually kind of cool. To try out this ebuild, copy it to your portage overlay, add the use flag lightthink to your /etc/make.conf and follow the normal procedures for installing keyword masked packages. Here's some things I had to do in the ebuild: Utilized a new local use flag: lightthink Added an additional source uri if the lightthink use flag is enabled renamed the INSTALL LICENSE and README and installed them in the gaim doc directory inserted the compiled library into /usr/lib/gaim included a small warning concerning needed kernel modules
Created attachment 88174 [details] gaim-1.5.0-r1 ebuild to build gaim-lightthink plugin when 'lightthink' use flag enabled
this would probably be best built as an optional plugin (ie like gaim encryption) Will test it out and if all is fine, it will be added to the tree.
Please re-open if a version of this plugin that works with pidgin is released.
