Thanks for the bug report, I've updated the SVN / trunk with a fix to the code: the cast should be to (time_t *) rather than (time_t).

With GCC 15.2.1, it fails to build with

encrypt.c: In function ‘PE_store_msg’:
encrypt.c:329:25: error: passing argument 1 of ‘time’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
  329 |    newnode->time = time((time_t)NULL);
      |                         ^
      |                         |
      |                         long int
[...]

Adding -Wno-error=int-conversion to CFLAGS does workaround this, but a proper fix would be to fix the code.

Regards!

Can no longer be built

Hi,

pidgin-encrpytion can no longer be built with the latest glib (at least not on Mageia Linux Cauldron). Attached is a patch to fix the problem. See:

undefined symbol: PK11_WrapPrivKey

rosc2112 — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 17:40:21 -0000

Compiled the latest cvs and also v3.1 and get the error:

/usr/lib/pidgin/encrypt.so is not loadable: undefined symbol: PK11_WrapPrivKey

Tried adding pk11func.h to the rsa_nss.h includes hoping that would be the easy fix, but no joy. Not a program so I don't know how to fix this issue.

No working Windows build

Magnus Brading — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 01:26:56 -0000

Can't you please just put together a Windows build for the 3.1 release already, so that people without a build environment can also use it? Lots of people are complaining about this in the comments on the main project page, and you would get at least 10 times as many users in an instance if you just did this. You even say on the main website that "A Windows release will be available soon", but it's been more than half a year since then!? So pretty please, with sugar on top?

Long URLs split in Yahoo

I have no idea of the cause, but will describe what I see.

Pidgin 2.7.2 with pidgin-encryption 3.1

If I send an ordinary line ("testtesttesttest..." of say 160 characters, that works fine.

If I send the same line with "http://" in front of it (so that it gets autoconverted to a lnk), it works fine with pidgin-encryption turned off.

If I send the line above (with "http://" at the beginning) with pidgin encryption turned on, then the actual link is correct (the URL), but the text describing the link is broken into two pieces (at some point that varies with the URL). The first line (the link) is colored blue (designating a link) and contains the first 90-120 characters of the text describing the link (which is supposed to be identical to the link). The second line contains the remainder of the text as plain text.

Windows binary does not work with Pidgin 2.7

Anonymous — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:47:18 -0000

It seems the Pidgin-Encryption plugin as distributed in the Windows binary does not work with Pidgin 2.7. Pidgin does not show it in the list of available plugins. (Pidgin 2.7 on Windows XP 32-bit.)
