Pidgin is a free and open source instant multiprotocol (ICQ, IRC, Jabber ...) messenger.

Finch is a ncurses based console version of pidgin.

For more information visit http://pidgin.im

This patch adds support for Finch 2.7.0 to the buildroot buildsystem. Finch is compiled with support for ICQ, IRC and Jabber; However other protocols might be added to the script too / script can be converted to a more modular style.

Tested on and compiled with atmel ngw100_defconfig.

Filed under Pidgin, not finch as Pidgin is the main app. This makes it easier to add support for pidgin later (by someone who has X running on his board :)

Then it seems to be wrong in the documentation - esspecially if you look at the extra T in GNUT :)

Quoted 5 lines

Packages that need gettext only when locale support is enabled should:

1. Use select BR2_PACKAGE_GNUTTEXT if BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE and
possibly select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL if BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE if libintl is also needed

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot.html#gettext-integration
Maybe we should change that - patch comes in the next message ;)
