In conclusion: Interesting program but being free doesn't mean that it doesn't have to work flawlessly.
#PIDGIN DOWNLOAD HOW TO#
The user interface is simple and intuitive and I think anybody will learn how to use it very fast.ĭrawbacks / flaws: No support for Skype and I wasn't able to configure a 'Google Talk' account. This action will occur the next time pidgin detects the event, for example the next time the person in your buddy list who you have pounced signs in. These actions include everything from playing a sound to sending a message to the person or to executing a command. When you set a pounce on someone, you can choose from a number of events, such as sign in or status change, and then you choose from a number of actions. A 'buddy pounce' is much like a macro, or a recorded action. This is really a problem because the program offers no support for situations like this.Īn interesting feature is 'buddy pounce'. You may prefer to use MSYS instead of Cygwin, but if you do so, you may need to tweak the instructions.
#PIDGIN DOWNLOAD INSTALL#
For example, I didn't see any support for Skype and as for 'Google Talk', even if it exists in the program, you have to manually configure it. Also make sure you install bash, bzip2, ca-certificates, coreutils, gawk, gnupg, grep, gzip, libiconv, make, patch, sed, tar, unzip, wget, and zip (several of these are selected by default, those in bold are not). Unfortunately there are instant messaging profiles that are not supported. This is useful because if you use many instant messaging profiles you don't have to use the proprietary programs but instead use only one program for all of them.
