- Ensure that pidgin is installed, i.e.
sudo apt-get install pidgin
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
(probably others too, pidgin-dev?)- Grab a pidgin source version, i.e.
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.13.0/pidgin-2.13.0.tar.gz/download
tar xzf download
- Change into your pidgin directory, i.e.
cd pidgin-2.13.0
- Then change into the libpurple plugins directory
cd libpurple/plugins
- Then clone this repo, i.e.
git clone https://github.com/cml37/purple-yahoo.git
cd purple-yahoo
make
cp ./libs/libyahoo.so ~/.purple/plugins
- Fix the above procedure since I am sure it is lacking
