just extract the contents of pidgin-<version>-win32-bin.zip and gtk-runtime-<version> into a directory, we'll call it for the purpose of example, "portable"
so you'll have
Code: Select all
portable\pidgin-<version>-win32-bin\
portable\gtk-runtime-<version>\
Code: Select all
MOVE pidgin* pidgin
REN pidgin\pidgin.exe pidgin\pidgin-portable.exe
RMDIR /s /q pidgin\plugins\perl pidgin\plugins\locale\
DEL pidgin\plugins\perl.dll pidgin\plugins\tcl.dll
RD /s /q gtk\share\ gtk\manifest gtk\share\locale
Explanations
Move is used to rename directories from command line. Rename only handles files.
everything else should be easy to understand with a /?.
Final thoughts.
I don't know who thought the script at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%2 ... rtableMode is a good idea, it looks ugly and too long. Maybe whoever did has a fetish for ampersands. :p
