 Hello,
 Is the Switch Spell plugin ready to use on win32? I think that it is a
 very useful plugin and I'm looking for something like that for a long
 time.

 I found only the source code, but the link to how to compile is broken
 (http://www.pidgin.im/win32/build.php).
 Is there any compiled dll for windows?
 Best regards,
 Jorge.

Comment:

 The plugin builds cleanly on Win32, but it was not enabled by default and
 thus was missed in the 1.0beta7 and 1.0 releases.  This has been resolved
 for the 1.1 release, which will be whenever Pidgin releases again, unless
 we find other problems that warrant a new release to be made sooner.

 I have changed the summary and type of this ticket to reflect what the
 real problem here is.  I also fixed the line break in the description.  I
 set component to Plugin Pack because this is a cross-platform issue, not
 just Win32.

 If you want to compile the plugin yourself, the new
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin Windows Pidgin Build
 Instructions] wiki page will help you get things set up.  Once your build
 environment is set up, run `make -sf Makefile.mingw` in the top level of
 the Pidgin source tree.  Then `cd pidgin/plugins` and extract the plugin
 pack source tarball there.  Again, run `make -sf Makefile.mingw`.  Once
 that's done, `cd switchspell` and then again run `make -sf Makefile.mingw`
 to build switchspell.  Now you can copy switchspell.dll to your Pidgin
 plugins directory or to your .purple\plugins directory.
