purple-3/libsipe.so: undefined symbol: purple_timeout_add on pidgin load

[joefromct]

Hi,

I've actually used #40 as well as a number of resorces but i'm getting to the following error message:

In summary:

• installed libnice from https://github.com/tieto/libnice
• gplugin-hg from the AUR
• libpurple-hg and pidgin-hg from the AUR
• and finally sipe from https://github.com/tieto/sipe under Arch x64.

When running pidgin at a terminal my error comes back as this:

(Pidgin:2209): GPlugin-WARNING **: failed to query '/usr/lib/purple-3/libsipe.so' 
with loader 'GPluginNativeLoader': Failed to open plugin '/usr/lib/purple-3/libsipe.so': 
/usr/lib/purple-3/libsipe.so: undefined symbol: purple_timeout_add  

Pidgin comes up and shows (libpurple 3.0.0devel) 878de3ba891b9563e0b2eee0b51bf33f5b5e130a

As expected (due to the above error) Microsoft Office Communicator isn't an option for connections.

I'm assuming there must be a version mismatch somewhere... as probably quite a bit has changed since #40 and maybe purple_timeout_add is something new?

My goal would be to finally avoid my virtual machine to do any screen sharing.

Any tips appreciated, thanks.

From which branch are you building sipe? Please use launchpad-next that contains fix for purple_timeout_add() from upstream: fda77e3895c4c860e4565ec596ebadb6ea737201.

Also, using Pidgin 3 is not mandatory, you can compile Sipe against 2.x Pidgin you likely already have in your distro too if you wish.
