Installing Pidgin in CentOS 7

There isn't much to this, but I just wanted to make an easy copy/paste for all the required packages.

Pidgin Version pidgin-2.10.11

Download pidgin from https://www.pidgin.im/download/source/

Install pre-req for the build:

(You may need to install the development tools: sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools')

 sudo yum install -y libpur* gtk2-devel libXScrnSaver-devel libSM-devel gtkspell-devel libxml2-devel gstreamer-devel farstream-devel libidn-devel meanwhile-devel avahi-devel avahi-glib-devel NetworkManager-devel gnutls-devel tcl-devel tk-devel  

Installation:

Unzip the source tar -jxf <pidgin.tar.bz2>

Cd <new dir from untar>

./configure

make

sudo make install
