SIPE 1.10

Hi All,

This post explains how to install SIPE 1.10 version to existing Pidgin.

So what is SIPE???

This project develops a third-party plugin for the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger. It implements the extended version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products:

• Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS 2007/2007 R2 and newer)
• Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS 2003/2005)
• Reuters Messaging

With this plugin you should be able to replace your Microsoft Office Communicator client with Pidgin. 

So, with SIPE we can replace MS Office Communicator. 

Installing SIPE:

1. Download the tar file from sipe.sourceforge.net

2. Unzip it with the command - tar -xvzf filename.tgz

3. Issue ./configure --prefix=/usr/

4. Issue make

5. Issue sudo make install 

Thats it....

Enjoy,
