 And then "make && make install" as normal.
 
-This gets you far enough to have a 'media' preference in the Pidgin menus, with a working 'Preview', but no access to 'send webcam'/'receive webcam' type functionality via the 'Media' menu within a conversation (It's "there" but disabled/greyed-out).
+That will build for everything that does work (I think), support is not completed for everything yet, so it won't all work.
 
-I suspect that this is because the MSN plugin etc. for Farsight have not been ported to the v2 API yet(as at version 0.12.8), and this is slated for the next Google SOC? [http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/vv PlaceholderPage] ? Maiku?
+=== Currently Working(TBC): ===
 
-==== WORK IN PROGRESS FOR FEDORA CORE SPECIFIC BUILD, PLEASE IGNORE FOR NOW... ====

-These are retained because (if nothing else) building with gnutls on FC9 causes a segfault before Pidgin has even properly started!! I am working on it.
+ * Video/voice preferences.
+ * Video 'preview' mode.
+ * GTalk (Google Talk) / XMPP. Only if both 'sides' support this, and your contact is in your buddy list and showing as online.
 
-(Seems to work on FC8 as far as completing build)
-./configure --enable-gnutls=no --enable-nss=yes --enable-cyrus-sasl            --enable-tcl --enable-tk            --disable-schemas-install

-(May be useful to coax avahi support into the build, which is the default)
-AVAHI_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/avahi-glib ./configure --with-avahi-client-includes=/usr/include/avahi-client --with-avahi-client-libs=/usr
+MSN/Yahoo are (probably) held up pending the re-implementation of the plugins for them in Farsight2 at which time they may start to work again. [http://farsight.freedesktop.org/wiki/Farsight2Todo Farsight2Todo]
