The sources just when out today, i tried to compile it but i failed, not much of a compiler here :(
hoping to see it in ubuntu repository soon :)
xchat 2.6.0
Archived thread 85691 from Closed Requests. Markdown source: Closed_Requests/thread_85691_xchat_2.6.0.md
I'd like to see this too
Ben
*bump*
Yeah I'd like this too... I'm going to give it a shot at compiling, but I have a question. I already have the latest version of Xchat installed via synaptic. Do I need to uninstall it first before I compile the new version? What would happen if I didnt uninstall it and compiled/installed the new version? Thanks BT
Edit: Didnt compile for me...had a lot of errors...couldnt find python, couldnt find gtk or glib...who knows...this is insane.... I'll wait for some kind soul to pkg it up.
hi, thanks for letting me know its out :) I downloaded, extracted the source, put the patch, configured, compiled after that i removed the old xchat (*sudo apt-get remove xchat*) and then *sudo make install* and it works without problems. Maybe i will write a howto if this is so serious. If you got some compilation errors, let me know, maybe i can help.
anyways i attached the screenshot for 'proof':

Ok.. I think I got all the deps installed by installing everything I thought looked vaguely appropriate for the errors it produced, and now it looks like ./configure works without a hitch giving me this:
xchat 2.6.0

When I do a make, it errors out:

no clue where to go from here... ;(
hi btdown, just type this:
sudo apt-get install libperl-dev
and then your compilation will go flawless,
cheers
As for a backport, cool your jets. Its not even in Dapper yet :P
(Believe me I want this ;P)
Wow, I just checked the package archives and it said that XChat is at 2.4.5
Did they just like jump a version number?
I dont care about, even breezy didnt have all packages latest version when it got released. As long as you have some unix knowledge its no problem to download sources, configure & compile, install some devel packages if needed for compile and then you have the latest version of your program, which is cool ;)
Niko,
You were right--It works! Thanks for your help! -BT
For those interested, I had to install the following packages in order for it to compile and install properly:
build-essential libperl-dev libgtk2.0-dev python2.4-dev

[ATTACH]3360[/ATTACH] hey nicko, i got a annoying error with GLIB, how can i fix it, i really want 2.6.0 :)
Edit: opps nevermind didn't saw this, THANKS BTDOWN & nicko :)
The compilation when smooth, very i say, i'm kinda troubled, i lost my xchat icon in the menus, how can i bring it back? =/
I rebooted and it the icon was back in the menu..perhaps you could just restart gnome, though.

kk that worked :) thanks
Not in Dapper yet....
while trying to make xchat after i did configure i got the following error: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory /home/user/xchat-2.6.0' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory /home/user/xchat-2.6.0/po' test ! -f ./xchat.pot || \ test -z "nl.gmo zh_TW.gmo" || make nl.gmo zh_TW.gmo make[3]: Entering directory /home/user/xchat-2.6.0/po' rm -f nl.gmo && : -c --statistics -o nl.gmo nl.po mv: cannot stat t-nl.gmo': No such file or directory make[3]: * [nl.gmo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory /home/user/xchat-2.6.0/po' make[2]: * [stamp-po] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory /home/user/xchat-2.6.0/po' make[1]: * [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/xchat-2.6.0' make: * [all] Error 2
at the end of configure i had no error and had the following output xchat 2.6.0

anyone can provide information regarding this please. I don't have xchat on my ubuntu since it's a server install. So I'm starting fresh. I taught i got all the neccesary libs and packages needs to build this. and configure gave me no errors about any packages or missing libs.
It's in the Dapper-Repositories now! :)
Aprroved.

I'm on Breezy Badger 5.10, how can i get it?
have a read of this
I'm on Breezy Badger 5.10, how can i get it? It will show up in the backports soon, just make sure the backport lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list are uncommented.
Mike
ye i had those two line enabled from a long time, since they were announced. Is there anything in the backports at the moment?

it's been more then a week now, when are the backports actually going to have content in them?
I did this package, if you are still in the look for it
http://davidgonz.com/xchat_2.6.0-1_i386.deb
enjoy :)
Xchat 2.6.0 is very easy to compile by hand :) Try it :)
it's not just about xchat, i'm asking in general, when will the backports have something in them. cause so far i don't see anything that was accepted into backports. So that's all i wanted to know, if there' a problem with backports or it takes time to add new content..
I downloaded the .deb file but I'm going to compile it myself first. It's been a while so I want to have some fun.
./configure <file> make sudo make install (may just try checkinstall)
if I'm remembering right. If i want to "make clean" afterwards, do I need to sudo that command?

I've already sent a good 30 backports off to James Troup, the Backports archive administrator. When he adds them in, it's really hard for me to tell...
On a sidenote, he did add the evms backport today to the build system, which is a good sign of things to come! :)
It's there, it's there \o/
Have a quick question: I was able to compile it myself and it works great. Now that its in the repository, should I install the repository version? if so, should I just install over top of the compiled version I made, or how would I uninstall the compiled version?
Hi everybody! I am new in ubuntu system! I have the same problem like lisa-m !

What should I do? Please help me! :D
Can somebody help me?
I'm tring to compiling it (xchat 2.6 of course) and i always get this error:
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.9.0, but GLIB (2.8.3)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best

no
configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
But I have glib 2.0 and glib 1.2 too!
What can I do to solve this?
Do you have the glib development package installed?
Yep.
I have this ones installed:
libglib2.0-0 - The GLib library of C routines
libglib2.0-data - Common files for GLib library
libglib-perl
libglib1.2 - The GLib library of C routines
libglib1.2-dev - Development files for GLib library
libglib2.0-0-dbg - The GLib libraries and debugging symbols
libglib2.0-dev - Development files for the GLib library
