Install "macport", "pidgin", "alpine", "getmail", "pidgin-sipe(for OCS plugin)" in MAC 10.6.7

Install "macport", "pidgin", "alpine", "getmail", "pidgin-sipe(for OCS plugin)" in MAC 10.6.7

$ tar xzvf MacPorts-1.9.2.tar.gz
$ cd MacPorts-1.9.2
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install 

$ cd /opt/local/etc/macports
Config file: sudo vim sources.conf
             sudo vim macports.conf
$ sudo port -v selfupdate

Alpine : (pwd:/Users/<user_name>/)
$ sudo port install alpine 
[$ rename pinerc.txt /Users/<user_name>/.pinerc]
.pinerc details [pinerc.txt]

Getmail :(pwd:/Users/<user_name>/)
$ sudo port install getmail
$ sudo port load openldap
$ mkdir /User/<user_name>/.getmail
$ cd .getmail
$ vim getmail
        [getmail file include following contant]
        #
        [options]
        # Delete mail after 30 days
        #delete_after = 30
        verbose      = 0
        # only download each message once
        read_all     = False

        [retriever]
        type      = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
        server    = exchange.server.com
        username  = <user_name>
        #mailboxes = ("INBOX",)


        [destination]
        type     = MDA_external
        path     = /usr/bin/procmail
        arguments = ("-f", "%(sender)")
        unixfrom = True
        #type     = Maildir
        #Path    = ~/Mail/

Install pidgin:
$ sudo port install pidgin +quartz +no_x11

Install pidgin-sipe:
[Download from] http://sourceforge.net/projects/sipe/files/

$ tar -zxvf pidgin-sipe-1.11.2.tar.gz 
$ cd pidgin-sipe-1.11.2
$ ./configure --disable-quality-check --prefix=/opt/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

The --disable-quality-check option removes the "Werror" compiler flags that cause the compile to fail when there is a warning message that is not critical to the operation of the code. 

The --prefix command sets the install directory to the same directory used by macports to install Pidgin.  If you have a different installation, then modify this appropriately. 

Once you launch Pidgin from the command line, you will have the option of creating a Microsoft Communicator account.
