##PubNub plugin for Pidgin, Adium and other libpurple based messengers.

###Components In general, for each chat client, you will be dealing with two main components:

• The PubNub common library
• The chat-client specific plugin (Adium, Pidgin/Finch)

The XCode project source for Adium can be found at https://github.com/pubnub/c/tree/master/examples/libpurple (Be sure you have installed the PubNub libpurble client before trying to run the plugin.)

1. $ sudo apt-get install libpurple-dev libevent-dev libjson0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
2. $ git clone git://github.com/pubnub/c
3. $ cd c
4. $ make
5. $ sudo make install
6. $ cd examples/libpurple
7. $ make deb # optionaly
8. $ sudo make install

1. $ install macports (macports.org)
2. $ sudo port install pidgin +finch
3. $ sudo port install json-c
4. $ sudo port install libevent
5. $ git clone https://github.com/pubnub/c.git
6. $ cd c/libpubnub
7. $ make -f Makefile.darwin
8. $ sudo make -f Makefile.darwin install
9. $ cd ../examples/libpurple
10. $ make
