[JDEV] Questions on groupchat and yahoo transport..

[Keith Minkler]

sure.. in the Makefile.am in the src folder (providing you checked the code out of CVS), the first line is a CFLAGS= line.. just add that flag  -DHAVE_SOCKS4 to that line..

then run ./autogen.sh in the yahoo-transport folder, and run make

I'm not sure about the environment variables though.
