[Adium-devl] MobileChat for the iPhone Needs Some Help

Just want to start by saying I had contacted Evan before coming here
to make sure it was ok to request help and he suggested I the adium
devl mailing list, so I'm not spamming :)

MobileChat is another chat client for the iPhone, similar to ApolloIM.
 We're also open source and under the GPL license like Apollo and
Adium.

We've been focusing on some other stuff and not so much libpurple
support for the last few weeks, but now we're really looking to add in
libpurple support.  Unfortunately, the 3 programmers (myself included)
are in pretty far over our heads with libpurple and are struggling to
get to to compile it with the iPhone's toolchain.

It seems to have quite a few dependencies and Adium's
libpurple.framework (which I'd like to use) requires xcode to build
it, however I failed numerous times trying to get Xcode to compile
using the iphone's toolchain arm gcc as opposed to the gcc that comes
with Xcode.

If anyone can help us, or point us in the right direction as far as
creating a Makefile for libpurple.framework that doesn't require
Xcode, or help us getting just regular libpurple compiled, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Also, you can browse our SVN here: http://chat.open.twenty08.com

(P.S. I know the headers say the code's copyrighted, but they're just
the default Xcode headers, we haven't had time to change the headers
of all the files to reflect the GPL license)

Thanks,
Shaun
