Shared libraries must NOT be packed with UPX. Packed libraries can only be used statically, which means that two separate instances of the same library will need to be loaded into RAM, basically defeating the purpose of sharing. Read the UPX docs. This obviously applies to all libraries, but the thread is in the Gaim Portable forum because the plan is to have the GTK+ libraries shared between Gaim and The GIMP (and whatever GTK+-using apps that may become part of all this).

Miranda Portable, SSL and GTalk?

Submitted by MCBastos on April 9, 2007 - 10:53am

If you don't have SSL installed in Windows, Miranda is not able to connect to a SSL-only server, such as the one for GTalk -- the "Use SSL" checkbox is greyed, and a link to download OpenSSL (at http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html) is displayed.
Since we are talking about a PORTABLE setup, is there a "Portable SSL" available that could supply this need? We can't rely on host computers having SSL installed...

Hello people,

I've just discovered a nice bug (at least I believe it's a bug) in Miranda Portable Unicode v0.6.8 Built Mar 13 2007 11:25:24. The problem appeared when I decided to turn off the splash screen. I copyed the MirandaPortable.ini in the launcher directory and changed the appropriated setting.

Pidgin: Away message doesn't work (Auto-Reply)

Submitted by Alpha_Maverick on April 5, 2007 - 5:33pm

First post here. Awesome site, awesome apps. Only one problem, so far.
I have been trying for quite some time, but I cannot get my away message to work. I have tried setting the auto-away to both "when away" and "when both away and idle". I have been using a saved status, title: "I'm not here", status: "away", message:"call if it's important... "
I just realized something. When I am setting the status, if I go to

Pidgin: Virus warning?

Submitted by jvd897 on March 31, 2007 - 8:00pm

Hi, I'm trying to download Gaim Portable, but upon run of the setup executable, Command Antivirus intervenes and calls it a virus, specifically "W32/Downloader2.TZ". I suppose I could just disable the antivirus: but before I do that, I want to make absolutely sure that no one else's antivirus program is detecting this, and that my scenario is that of a false positive. Thanks!
