Pidgin will fail to compile if GTK has been compiled with aqua and without X, because Pidgin looks for gdk/gdkx.h functionality, when it doesn't exist. I've fixed it up locally in my own ebuild, so I want to submit the fixes here. They are probably not clean, but they're as clean as I could get them to be with my limited ebuild knowledge. This was tested on a Gentoo Prefix'ed system, but it's a generic enough solution to fit here. I'll attach patches in a moment.

Created attachment 195989 [details, diff] gtkdocklet-quartz.diff This is the heart of the solution. Since we lose X support and gain "aqua"/quartz, the implementation needs to change too. As far as I could tell, this patch has Pidgin using a more generic GTK icon system so that it works on more than one OS. This patch is pretty much a direct copy from macports: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/pidgin/files/gtkdocklet-quartz.diff
Created attachment 195991 [details, diff] pidgin-2.5.7.ebuild.diff I'm attaching an ebuild patch that adds a new USE flag called "aqua". When aqua is turned on, it essentially moves any dependencies on gdkx to the parts the above patch provides. This is probably nowhere near the cleanness what you guys would want it to be, but it works, and demonstrates the essence of what the fix is.
I'm CC'ing prefix@gentoo.org for this bug report because this pretty much only occurs in a Prefix'ed environment, so I think this bug would be of some interest to them. If I'm wrong, feel free to un-CC. :)
prefix territory
Created attachment 201570 [details, diff] pidgin-2.5.7.ebuild.diff This is a better ebuild that actually builds Pidgin correctly. It works on my ~x86-macos machine now.
Created attachment 201572 [details, diff] pidgin-2.5.7.ebuild.diff Reviewing the patch, I see that my overlay got out of sync with prefix, which got a fix of its own to an issue I didn't know existed. I've updated the patch. Also, I discovered that pidgin-2.5.7 is very specific about which versions of certain things like libtools, as is 2.5.8, so I've had to specify them here. That's in this patch, which I forgot to mention before.
Created attachment 201715 [details, diff] pidgin-2.5.7.ebuild.diff Fixed some Q/A issues, and removed unnecessary patch lines that would've had to be cleaned out.
thanks, I committed this to 2.5.8
(In reply to comment #8) > thanks, I committed this to 2.5.8 > Does it apply to 2.5.9 in gx86, not in prefix atm?
we'll have to find out
