XChat 2.7.90 - give

Postby peterz » 05 Dec 2006 04:20

2.7.90 is out! Well sort of... There's be no actual release tarballs, as development is ongoing. It's quite stable, don't worry about lots of bugs and crashes, give it a go. The major addition in this series is system-tray integration.
A bit more development from here and it'll lead to 2.8.0 stable.

How to get and run 2.7.90 (on Linux or *BSD etc):

1) Figure out how to install programs on your system. e.g:
Fedora: yum install <program>
Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install <program>

2) Install all of these: gtk2-dev[el] autoconf automake m4 cvs gcc gettext

3) Get the xchat source:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xchat.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xchat login
(no password, just press enter)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xchat.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xchat co -P xchat2

4) Compile it:
cd xchat2
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr
make
make install (as root)

5) run xchat!

It's on CVS, you need a CVS client to download it ;)

it should be:
Code: Select all
162) AM_PATH_GTK_2_0(1.2.10.0, havegtk=yes, havegtk=no)

Because it was the only way the configure process went through for me.
(slamd64 11, gtk+ 1.2.10)


No, it _really_ does need GTK 2.10.x.

2.10, not 2.6.

No.
In general no complaints = no change and I see nothing in my Inbox or the SF tracker.
Complaining is not a guarantee of change though.

Have you used the gtk.SlackBuild script?
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackw ... e/l/gtk+2/

Make sure you have built it with --prefix=/usr, so that you will have the .pc files (glib-2.0.pc, gtk+-2.0.pc, ...) located at /usr/lib/pkgconfig

I used modified slamd64's last gtk Slackbuild (just changed the version inside).

Good point. I don't think there is a way to disable it currently.

You can turn off the systray icon in settings under "Alarm"
