    55NSS stands for [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ Network Security Services]. NSS is required to use SSL in Pidgin. NSS depends on NSPR and a [https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB shared database] (SQLite since [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.12/nss-3.12-release-notes.html NSS 3.12]), but you don't have to worry about these, there's and NSS with NSPR package which is compact thus it contains all sources required to build NSS.

    7 To avoid confusion, building NSS on Windows doesn't make use of Cygwin. If you have it (or an other version of MinGW) installed on your computer, it's a good idea to rename its folder until you're finished building NSS to avoid conflicts.

    97'''Note''': at the moment you can't build NSS completely using GCC. It fails at the final stage when linking additional tools. However, you can build all the important libraries successfully. It will hopefully be improved in the future.
