Does it no longer use farstream or the gstreamer bits? What does it say during configure time during build?

According to their FAQ these two dependencies are still needed. After examining the make output in a little more detail I noticed that it's building against the older pidin-devel 2.13. I'm going to hold off on submitting this until pidgin 2.14 is merged to avoid duplicating effort on this plugin.

I captured the make output in a log file, and there appear to be no problems with gstreamer or farstream during make at all. They were installed as expected. I'm not sure why they were removed from the file. I'll take a closer look at this after pidgin 2.14 merges.

No, just copy all eopkg files:

libpurple-2.14.1-26-1-x86_64.eopkg
libpurple-devel-2.14.1-26-1-x86_64.eopkg
pidgin-2.14.1-26-1-x86_64.eopkg
pidgin-devel-2.14.1-26-1-x86_64.eopkg

to local folder like you did with libgnt and do make local for pidgin-sipe.

Later add this package to the pidgin stack by adding in this summary Depends on D9304.

Don't forget git commit --amend si very important :D

Ah, thanks for the advice. I got it rebuild against pidgin 2.14 successfully. The abi_used_libs file still doesn't include the missing libraries. I'll have to look into this more tomorrow.

After looking into this with DataDrake, it looks like it's trying to build against pidgin-3 and failing dependencies when it sees pidgin 2. Holding off on updating this for now since there aren't any user complaints and the current version of the plugin is working.
