Seeing as the compile process isn't well documented, it's very confusing for newcomers. If you'll also note, someone else asked if you could provide some build instructions on your blog post to help compile it.

From what I've managed to figure out so far, with some hours of trial and error...

git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~smcv/telepathy-gabble --single-branch untested-otr

cd untested-otr/

make
cd ../../..
cd src
sed -i.bak "s/#define \_BSD_SOURCE/#define \_DEFAULT_SOURCE/g" ft-manager.c
cd ..
cd tools
sed -i.bak "s/xrange/range/g" xincludator.py
//give up at this point since this project has tons of Python3 bugs I need to research...
//then presumably//
./configure
make install
