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

Hi,

please note that the newest package versions are always on http://packages.debian.org/gaim-thinklight. Also note that gaim-lightthink is a different plugin, and it's author refers to gaim-thinklight as the "somewhat superior" solution.

If you'd like to see a make sytem for gaim-thinklight, I'd happily accept a working autoconf setup. I'm just too lazy to work out the details by myself...

Greetings,
Joachim (author of gaim-thinklight)

gaim-lightthink is different then gaim-thinklight. :(

No progress here for 1 year. Closing WONTFIX.

Feel free to reopen if you have an ebuild.
