| 87 | 87 | Of course, these releases are unlikely to backport Pidgin 3.0, considering that they haven't backported GStreamer 1.0. If they do, they can always just build with `--disable-vv`. Interestingly, OpenBSD currently does this, but for the opposite reason: their GStreamer/Farstream versions are too new and they're waiting for the Pidgin 3.0 release. |

| | 92 | The command for this is, for example, `./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --with-static-prpls=jabber`. In this case, only Jabber/XMPP is supported. The build system will only statically link libraries compiled by Pidgin - all system libraries will be dynamically linked. You can verify this by running `ldd` in the new Pidgin binary (`pidgin/pidgin`) after the build. |

| | 94 | There are third-party tools that can create what are effectively statically linked binaries using the `LD_PRELOAD` environment variable. These could be useful for creating a testing binary for distribution, but I haven't had the need for that. |
