Managed to sort that one out – was entering the wrong group chat server URL.
I’ve setup autobuilding for every week, you can check out the DLLs here http://home.mattie.id.au/libsipe/

If you come across any problems please let me know so I can investigate

Enjoy!

Some notes on how I built this
Firstly, you need to build Pidgin. I followed this guide. But specifically, this is what I did :
I built everything under /usr/src/pidgin
Installed the following packages via apt-get (sudo apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime)
Followed Step 2 in the guide linked to the URL above
Installed Pidgin’s build dependencies as per the guide
Followed the cross-compiling guide
Built pidgin using the mingw make file (using the Build Pidgin instructions from the above guide)
Once it built cleanly, I grabbed the latest source for libsipe via git
Followed only the 1st step from the libsipe website, just to get the code
Grabbed the dependencies specified in this wiki article
I then had to edit the Makefile.mingw (and other occurrences of the file) to meet the pidgin version I was compiling against
Tried to compile it, it came back with a whole bunch of errors and I manually went through all the error’ing related files (from memory, usually a bunch of header files) and made sure they were set

Handy links

http://www.ocspedia.com/GroupChat/Group_Chat_Logging.htm - Shows how to generate a group chat log file, pretty useful if you want to check out what your URI is

Update:

If you want to grab the latest release (1.12) you can get it from here (dropbox)

The data will be collected by Torn XML files and it will also be manually entered if data is pre-Torn. You will be able to select a tournament, or a competition. The interface will show a table of the teams (leader board style) where the user can click on a team for a certain to break down into the team’s scores over the season, bested colour as well as other stats. Then it’ll have links to the players on the team then bring up stats for that player, in that certain tournament. It will also link to the players “global” profile, listing their achievements, teams and competitions participated in. Highest rank in x. MVP count. Number of trophies. That kinda junk.

The post production name is not set in stone, so I’m using Zone Warriors as the name.

There will be pretty graphs, no doubt about that. Also an achievement system where I am happy for suggestions. Leave a comment here or a message on the Darkzone WA forums.

In no particular order ->

• Parse Torn files generated by Doug’s Torn software (21/02/10)
• Parse different formats and/or support for manual data (for comps pre-torn)
• Usable admin / interface
• Add a site (21/02/10)
• Add a tournament (21/02/10)
• Queries!

1. Team ladder
2. Solo ladder
3. Team tournament profile (21/02/10)
4. Player tournament profile
5. Player overall profile

• Site review and related media (a profile for the site!)
• Button hookups (ID to Profile)
• Graphs (Via JPGraph and/or XML/SMF Charts) NO USE THIS!! Google Vis
• Achievement system (would appreciate ideas)
• Commenting ability
• Hook up with the SMF authentication to use as a primary source of authentication for the website
• Make the whole webpage look pretty
• Online fixtures
• Online fixture generator following Doug’s 3-team grids
• Caching of finished events
• Events! Notification via email/IM and reminders. Ability to comment and rate past tournaments! RSS/iCal compliant
• Podcast support (lol)
• Who is currently at zone? via 4sq

If you can think of anything else that I could put on it, please let me know!

One slight problem. The software that comes with is absolute crap. It’s very poorly written. It can’t even handle malformed XML and will just crash. Error handling? Jesus christ learn how to. I tried to simply import a profile via the armory and I get an AP MFC error. Why? because the image location has changed or something. How hard would of it been to, say if there was an error. 1) Display there was an error getting the image 2) Replace it with a stock image. Oh, the images? they’re STOCK IMAGES AND DO NOT REALLY CHANGE. You could of distributed them with the package.

The only problems I have had though, are to do with profile handling.

The other options in the software are okay, such as setting up key bindings, macros and junk like that. I’ve recently bought my mouse into work and bound cut, paste, hide desktop, tab forward, tab backward, build, build project and it works pretty well.

Here is my guess list from the above video. 85/100. The list is a bit messy because I was frantically writing them down. xD The music is also pretty fucking awesome.
