Pidgin update.

[mobinmob]

• Update pidgin to 2.14.1.
• Add libgnt as a seperate package. It no longer resides in the pidgin source tree.

Built and tested on x86_64. libgnt does not cross-build as it fails to find ncurses:

Library ncursesw found: YES
Library panelw found: YES
Header </usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h> has symbol "get_wch" : NO 
Header </usr/include/ncurses.h> has symbol "get_wch" : NO 

meson.build:123:1: ERROR: Problem encountered: ncurses could not be found!

Odd

Might be failing because get_wch is a macro? not sure.

@mobinmob can you please patch the meson.build file to use the current version of ncurses detection from https://keep.imfreedom.org/libgnt/libgnt/file/tip/meson.build ? It's correct. Their previous version (which is what is shipped in 2.14.0 and 2.14.1 - just released) hardcoded /usr/include/... (which uses host headers, which aren't even available), for reasons.

Thanks @ericonr! Will get to it in a few hours.

@ericonr The patch works fine, but meson install fails in cross. No idea what the problem is.

@mobinmob try doing -Ddoc=false for cross builds :/

Thank you, I will test it with the new version in a few hours.

Nope, it does exactly nothing...
The only solution I can think of is stop building (or just cross-building if possible) finch and libgnt. Pidgin (gui) does not need libgnt if it is configured without --enable-consoleui.
