Creating a separate bundle

[samm-git]

Hi,

I found your project when was trying to write gtk-osx-integration for the pidgin myself. I am currently fixed few bugs in osx version (e.g. broken status icon) + compiled number of plugins (skype, facebook) and thinking to release standalone dmg version. I think we can join efforts, as i dont think that brew is a best place for it. I did +- same for the gimp/osx - https://github.com/samm-git/gimp-osx-package

Let me know what do you think please.

Hi,

It's great to read that I'm not alone interested in Pidgn on macOS.
Sadly our plans are quite different as I don't plan to release dmg distribution and rather want to create brew recipes for both this plugin and protocol plugins (FB, Discord, Steam at least).
Even worse thing is that I'll be quite inactive between October and July so won't have time to work on this code - and it's in really bad spot as I'm learning GTK/Pidgin, Cocoa, Swift and Objective-C at the same time. Swift isn't probably even a good choice here as binary file is unexpectedly large.
Anyway, thanks for proposition and for broken status icon note (I don't look at that icon so haven't seen it).

And one question from my side: are you able to display diacritics in menu for gtk-osx-integration built-in translations (i.e. "Quit") with bundled application?

Hi, not using it with pidgin [yet] but works fine with GIMP/OSX:

For Pidgin I have something like this:
(bundled) (run from command line)

I'll try to check your plist for Gimp, maybe there is something I'm missing as I've tried reconfiguring gettext without any success (detailed description of tries here)

[samm-git]

@Agalin just in case - do you have gettext with https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49560 patch? It could be a contributing factor

[Agalin]

@samm-git thanks for the link. I'll definitely give it a try if I find enough time to build gettext from sources as I'm currently using gettext provided by Homebrew (0.19.8.1, releases are so rare...).

@samm-git For what it's worth, I'd really like a Pidgin .dmg for OSX, it's just a real shame that Adium died off the way that it did.

Hi everyone, is there anything I could do as a tester to help with this?

[Agalin]

@rodneyrod I just don't have time to work on this till at least late summer. Until then I'm not able to fix any known or yet unknown issue. I'm not sure if @samm-git started bundling project.
