pidgin msn plugin

[beterhans]

I want to install the new msn plugin (pecan )for pidgin

it said you need "libpurple-devel" for compile
but my pidgin is compiled from source. there no libpurple in rpm or in pkgconifg.

them is there any chang to use this plugin?


by look into the Makefile
"
PURPLE_CFLAGS := $(shell pkg-config --cflags purple)
PURPLE_LIBS := $(shell pkg-config --libs purple)
PURPLE_PREFIX := $(shell pkg-config --variable=prefix purple)
"

I think these things should be change to my pidgin source folder. but how?
