How to install:
These are general instructions to build and install my purple plugins.
LINUX:
To build the plugin you have to install gcc, GNU make, pkg-config and pidgin developing dependencies (or maybe only libpurple if in your os they are distribuited separately). I.e. in Debian/Ubuntu, open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install gcc make pkg-config pidgin-dev
then to build type:
make
to install (default directory is ~/.purple/plugins) type:
make install
You can also create a compressed tar by typing:
make tar
How to use:
Compile and Install (read INSTALL) or Download (from this page) the plugin for your arch.
Linux: if you don’t have GNU make program installed on your system, to install the plugin manually copy whats-my-ip.so in your purple dir:
(if ~/.purple/plugins/ does not exist: $ mkdir ~/.purple/plugins/ )
$ cp whats-my-ip.so ~/.purple/plugins/
Restart Pidgin and in Tools/Plugins you should see a plugin named What’s my IP. Once enabled every buddy in buddy list can ask your external ip address writing ‘ip’ in a instant message window. By default the plugin uses http://checkip.dyndns.org to fetch the ip address but you can change it in plugin’s settings changing the regex to parse the url too.
