Hi

# ldconfig -v | grep purple
    libpurple3.so.0 -> libpurple3.so.0.0.0

when i try to run cmake on skype4web i get mssing purple library:

/build # $ cmake ..

I don't think the libpurple3 api is stable enough to write plugins against. An attempt was made in the past, but it was too much of a moving target to keep up with. At the moment the builds only work with purple2 (which comes through pkg-config as purple) so you'll need to install libpurple2. Hopefully there'll be a purple2 plugin loader for purple3 in the future, to help with the transition :)
