     * Copy `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/pidgin-inst-deps-20130214/SHA1Plugin.dll` into the `Plugins` directory of your NSIS installation.
     * Now you'll need to decide if you want to sign the executables (not necessary for personal use)
-     * If you do, you'll need to get an appropriate code signing certificate, generate a GPG key if you don't already have one, then download and install [http://www.mono-project.com/Download Mono]. In your `local.mak` file (see [wiki:"BuildingWinPidgin#CustomizingtheBuildEnvironment" below]), define the `MONO_SIGNCODE` variable to the fully qualified path to the `signcode` batch file in the Mono `bin` directory, and the `SIGNCODE_SPC` and `SIGNCODE_PVK` variables to the appropriate files from your certificate.
-     * Otherwise, in your `local.mak` file (see [wiki:"BuildingWinPidgin#CustomizingtheBuildEnvironment" below]), define the `MONO_SIGNCODE` variable to `"echo ***Bypassing signcode"` and the `GPG_SIGN` variable to `"echo ***Bypassing gpg"` to bypass the signing process

+MONO_SIGNCODE=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Mono-2.10.8/bin/signcode
+SIGNCODE_SPC=c:\\Path\\to\\authenticode.spc
+SIGNCODE_PVK=c:\\Path\\to\\authenticode.pvk
+#Set up gpg to use a separate keyring
+GPG_SIGN=gpg --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /path/to/secring.gpg
+}}}
+     * Otherwise, in your `local.mak` file (see [wiki:"BuildingWinPidgin#CustomizingtheBuildEnvironment" below]),add the following:
+{{{
+#Disable Signing
+MONO_SIGNCODE=echo ***Bypassing signcode***
+GPG_SIGN=echo ***Bypassing gpg***
+}}}
   * Now you can actually build the installer.[[BR]]
     There are 2 different installers, an "Offline" installer that includes all dependencies (except spellchecking dictionaries) and the debug symbols and an "Online" installer that includes only Pidgin itself and will download the various dependencies if necessary.
