Hello,

To connect to my company MS Office Communicator IM protocol, I was hoping to get the SIPE plugin support for Pidgin to run on Maemo.
I tried the following instructions, but it gives up when not finding a C compiler: http://sipe.sourceforge.net/install/

Can anybody confirm there is no way to get this to complie on Maemo 4?

Thanks,

Vince.

OCS 2007 R2 plugin would really be useful! I think I looked in to the same plugin at some point and ran into the same problem as you did.

Yes! I agree -- this would be extremely useful!

I just installed an Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin from extras-testing. Works GREAT!

Cool!
But looks like its for Maemo 5 and won't work for the N810, right?

I have submitted pidgin-sipe for diablo (Maemo 4, extras stable) and fremantle (Maemo 5, extras testing).

One request for Maemo 5 users: if you install the package from testing then PLEASE remember to submit your Karma vote for the package, otherwise it will rot in extras testing forever :-(

You need to install the OCS plug-in. It is in extras-testing (with all the warnings that comes with it) via App Manager.

Question: I installed the plug-in for maemo 4 on my N800. When I run Pidgin, I was expecting to see it listed in "Tools" - "Plugins". I did re-boot after installation.

pidgin-sipe is a protocol plugin. Those don't show up in that list.

Please go to "Accounts" -> "Manage Accounts", press the "Add" button and then choose the protocol "Office Communicator".
