BuildingWinPidgin

-                      v122
+                      v123
   Pidgin depends on GTK+ 2.14.7 (newer runtime versions can be used).
   The GTK+ All-in-one bundle contains all of GTK+'s dependencies in one zip file.
   Download [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.14/gtk+-bundle_2.14.7-20090119_win32.zip gtk+-bundle_2.14.7-20090119_win32.zip] into `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/gtk_2_0-2.14`.[[BR]]

   Visit the [http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html GTK+ website] for official binary and source releases.
 === gettext ===
   You'll need gettext to compile translations. Download [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-tools-0.17.zip gettext-tools-0.17.zip] and [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-runtime-0.17-1.zip gettext-runtime-0.17-1.zip]. Extract both to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/gettext-0.17`.

 === Libxml2 ===
   Download [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2-dev_2.7.4-1_win32.zip libxml2-dev_2.7.4-1_win32.zip] and [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2_2.7.4-1_win32.zip libxml2_2.7.4-1_win32.zip].  Extract both to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/libxml2-2.7.4`.

 === Perl 5.10 ===
+  Install Perl 5.10 (I use [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl]), and make sure it is in your `PATH`.
+  If you don't have Perl in your `PATH`, you will need to override the `PERL` variable in your `pidgin/local.mak` file.
+  You will also need to install [/static/win32/perl_5-10-0.tar.gz perl_5-10-0.tar.gz] under `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (Containing headers and import lib for mingw gcc).
+  Install Perl 5.10 (I use [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl]), and make sure it is in your `PATH`.  If 'perl' isn't in your `PATH` then you will need to override the `PERL` variable in `pidgin/local.mak`.
+  You will also need to download [/static/win32/perl_5-10-0.tar.gz perl_5-10-0.tar.gz] and extract to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (it creates its own directory).  This contains headers and an import lib for mingw gcc.
   * Note: If using MSYS and you installed the `mingw-developer-toolkit`, keep in mind that it installs `msys-perl-bin` (Perl 5.6) which takes precedence over the (5.10 or newer) perl in your path, and that will cause problems!  You will need to do one of the following:
