This is a devel GTK2 based version of polish/gnugadu instant messenger. This requires for its default gadu-gadu (Polish IM network) functionality libgadu library, that comes with the polish/ekg port. The ekg port obeys FreeBSD hier, having all the files, libraries and headers installed in /usr/local prefix. The issue is that gnugadu2 is trying to search for its headers in /usr/include instead of /usr/local/include. Making symlinks to /usr/local/include/libgadu* was the unique workaround I could find to make it configure and then build. And I know it is the Wrong Way. I was grepping files in search of the wrong paths, but it didn't lead me too fur. I do not know where exactly I should look for the reasons of the problem and which file is to be patched. I am not a coder, but am willing to learn what is needed to solve it. Could you guys, being more experienced point me into the right direction where I could find solution. Here go configure files: http://www.poprostu.pl/~smyru/gnome if more is needed here is a source: http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ggadu/gg2-2. 0pre3.tar.gz I would also be grateful for any advice about what I need to learn (autoconf, I guess) to be able solve such things on myself in the future. Thanks, -- Piero piero@poprostu.pl
