How to Compile Pidgin with Plugins from Source in Intrepid Ibex

I read about an oppurtunity to compile pidgin from source with video and voice support, so I wanted to try. This is how I proceed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-make
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

Installed packages from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian (added to the sources)

Code:

sudo apt-get install libgstfarsight0.10-0 libgstfarsight0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight

in order to fetch the last revision of pidgin:

Code:

apt-get install monotone monotone-viz

then:

Code:

DATABASE=/home/user/monotone_databases/pidgin.mtn
WORKINGDIR=/home/user/code/pidgin-mtn
cd $(dirname $DATABASE)
wget http://developer.pidgin.im/static/pidgin.mtn.bz2
bzip2 -d pidgin.mtn.bz2
mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*"

I got an error message so:

Code:

mtn -d $DATABASE db migrate

then again:

Code:

mtn -d $DATABASE pull --set-default mtn.pidgin.im "im.pidgin.*"
mtn -d $DATABASE co -b im.pidgin.pidgin.vv $WORKINGDIR

During configure with autogen I got messages about several missing dependencies, to install them:

Code:

sudo apt-get install autogen libtool intltool libgtk2.0-dev  libgtkspell-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libmeanwhile-dev libavahi-glib-dev libdbus-1-dev libperl-dev libssl-dev libgnutls-dev tcl8.5-dev libdbus-1-dev tk8.5-dev libxss-dev

What I couldn't frind: d-bus and tk development headers so I disabled:

Code:

sudo sh ./autogen.sh --disable-dbus --disable-tk

Warning during configuring:

Code:

Please add the files
 codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
 progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

Error when "sudo make":

Code:

gtkmain.c:314: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pidgin_medias_init’
make[3]: *** [gtkmain.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn/pidgin'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn/pidgin'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/code/pidgin-mtn'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestion to avoid this?
