Compilation failure purple-ft.c:1 nested extern declaration of purple_timeout_add

[bergkatten]

Hi,

Environment: Fedora 26

I'm building sipe from github against pidgin from hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main

The autogen.sh succeeds but make fails with:

purple-ft.c: In function ‘sipe_backend_ft_set_completed’: purple-ft.c:148:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘purple_timeout_add’; did you mean ‘purple_input_add’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] purple_timeout_add(0, end_transfer_cb, FT_TO_PURPLE_XFER); ^~~~~~ purple_input_add purple-ft.c:148:2: error: nested extern declaration of ‘purple_timeout_add’ [-Werror=nested-externs]

Delopment environment:

Update: Just downloaded: https://launchpad.net/~sipe-collab/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/pidgin-sipe_1.22.1+sipe-0+201708150946~ubuntu17.10.1.tar.xz

I used this process to build:

./autogen.sh env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-purple make sudo make install

This actually builds and seems to work in Fedora 26 now.
