Please, please, please, how do I install this for Windows?

Do you have a link to what I need to build a win32 version of this?

Apologies for the stagnate issue, I've been really busy at work.

Here are some instructions on how to get this to build for win32. You'll need to
setup your environment using the first link. The second link gives instructions 
on
building plugins [mostly platform agnostic]:

If anyone gets a win32 build for this would it be possible to post it?  I've 
tried 
to build plugins in windows before and was wildly unsuccessful.

I have some time today and got my hands on a wintel laptop, so hopefully I'll 
get a
build out by the end of the weekend.

Hey guys, I got a dev environment setup on a windows environment and am able to 
build
pidgin. I'm going to build the plugins, try to find a reasonable way of 
packaging
them, and release something into the wild.

Just finished doing some maintenance work and creating a .zip archive containing
windows .dll's and instructions on installation. Here it is:

http://pidgin-cmds.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-cmds-0.2.0.zip

I'm going to keep the issue open until I get an actual windows installer, but 
this is
a start.

Thanks a bunch.  Can't wait to try it.  Personally wouldn't bother with an 
installer 
since an unzip is how most of them seem to go today anyhow...

Given the feedback [thanks ploveman], I guess I'll close the issue.

If anyone has strong feelings about having a windows installer, feel free to 
re-open
this issue or open a new one.

Thanks for waiting folks, and feel free to drop me a line with feedback and/or
suggestions.
