 ====== Installing pidgin ======
+===== Using MacPorts =====
 This is about installing pidgin 2.7.9_0 from MacPorts to Snow Leopard on May 7th 2011:
-  * Install MacPorts
+  * Install [[http://www.macports.org|MacPorts]] (I've been using [[http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.8.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg|1.8.0-10.6]])
   * Install from MacPorts:
     * ''autoconf''

 It will run into errors as some diff files do not fit any more. You can remove all patch related entries from ''/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/net/pidgin/Portfile'' and rerun the install command.
+===== References: =====
+  * A slightly outdated but more verbose [[http://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2007/12/07/pidgin-on-mac-os-x-natively/|post in the "Lumber Room"]] did help me a lot, especially the part on "native GTK".
+  * There is a [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-macosx/|binary on sourceforge]] which is a little bit outdated [as of May 2011], but installs and starts fine.
