    3. Change to the directories for the protocols you want to compile (e.g. libpurple/protocols/jabber), and run make from there. Then after you've compiled all of them, change back to src/ and run make pidgin 
 
+=== Can I run Gaim on IRIX? ===
+Sure you can - the amount of effort involved depends on which compiler you use; there is however no official support.
+
+GCC (tested with 3.4 on IRIX 6.5.29): All but one necessary changes were included in the official sources. You will notice GnuTLS will not be included by default, even if the necessary includes and libraries are available; to add SSL support, open the configure script in your favourite editor and replace all instances of "-lnsl" by "-lnsl -lgnutls". Ask no questions :-) it Just Works. Mozilla-NSS wasn't tested.
+
+MIPSPro CC (tested with 7.4.4m on IRIX 6.5.29): Less trivial for obvious ANSI-tightness reasons. There's an unofficial patch for 2.0.0 beta3 available at http://jesuschrist.be/gaim/gaim-2.0.0beta3_irix.patch which applies (amongst others) the SSL hack described above. You will need to configure WITHOUT the Zephyr protocol plugin.
+
+NOTE: Jabber crashed gaim when using TLS. This is a bug inside GnuTLS that might or might not be fixed by the time you read this.
