Hi Figaro,

at last I had success!! In the configure phase, at least ;-)

Do the following:

1) Move away madde's own pkg-config with:

mv ~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/madbin/pkg-config ~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/madbin/pkg-config.old

2) Now ./configure will fallback to your build's machine own pkg-config, but we do not want it to use your build's machine *.pc modules, but the ones installed in the madde's sysroot, so override it with:

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/sysroots/fremantle-arm-sysroot-20.2010.36-2-slim/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

3) Check whether it finds libpurple.pc that you need in order to build pidgin-plugin-pack, and it should show 2.7.7

~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/bin/mad pkg-config --modversion purple

4) If it doesn't work, download http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...nix2_armel.deb and install it with:

~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/bin/mad-admin xdpkg -i libpurple-dev_2.7.7-0nix2_armel.deb

5) At this point, ~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/bin/mad ./configure --host armel ends successfully.
