| 324 | 324 | Note: With the setup described in this guide, other GTK+ applications can use the same GTK+ runtime. |
| 325 | 325 | |
| 326 | | '''Preparation''' |
| | 326 | '''''Preparation''''' |
| 327 | 327 | * create a temporary folder structure (e.g. in `C:\tmp`): |
| 328 | 328 | * `extracted` |
| … |
… |
|
| 335 | 335 | * '''extract''' these archives to `extracted\GTK` and `extracted\Pidgin`, respectively |
| 336 | 336 | |
| 337 | | '''Pidgin''' |
| | 337 | '''''Pidgin''''' |
| 338 | 338 | * copy (or move) everything ''except'' the following folders from `extracted\Pidgin` to `portable\Pidgin`: |
| 339 | 339 | * `ca-certs` |
| … |
… |
|
| 348 | 348 | * rename `portable\Pidgin\pidgin.exe` to `portable\Pidgin\pidgin-portable.exe` - this will cause Pidgin to run in "portable mode" |
| 349 | 349 | |
| 350 | | '''GTK+''' |
| | 350 | '''''GTK+''''' |
| 351 | 351 | * copy (or move) everything ''except'' the following files and folders to `portable\GTK`: |
| 352 | 352 | * `share` |
| … |
… |
|
| 359 | 359 | * copy the theme's `gtkrc` file from `extracted\GTK\share\themes\`[''theme'']`\gtk-2.0` to `portable\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0`, replacing the existing file |
| 360 | 360 | |
| 361 | | '''ASpell''' |
| | 361 | '''''ASpell''''' |
| 362 | 362 | |
| 363 | 363 | For spell-checking support, you will also need to create a minimal ASpell runtime installation from an existing ASpell installation. |
| … |
… |
|
| 369 | 369 | Running `U:\portable\Pidgin\pidgin-portable.exe` will cause Pidgin to run off the USB drive, saving all settings, logs etc. to `U:\portable\.purple`. |
| 370 | 370 | |
| 371 | | '''Upgrading Pidgin portable''' |
| | 371 | '''''Upgrading Pidgin Portable''''' |
| 372 | 372 | |
