this is du to :
pkg-config purple --cflags --libs
-I/usr/include/libpurple -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include  -lpurple -lglib-2.0


plus the includes directives in haze for libpurple stuff are in the from #include <libpurpl/xxx.h>

Created attachment 30981 [details] [review]
patch for libpurple headers

Assuming you are not going to try and persuade the libpurple maintainers to change their Cflags in purple.pc from:
Cflags: -I${includedir}/libpurple

to:
Cflags: -I${includedir}/libpurple -I${includedir}

which would avoid breaking most other libraries or applications using libpurple, attached is a patch.  (It seems unwise to remove the libpurple in <libpurple/*.h> so instead it changes the header includes to <../libpurple/*.h>

Could you either get a change to purple.pc or apply the patch please?

I've just committed a new purple-2.pc file (which will be in libpurple 2.7) which will let Haze do this properly. Haze will have to depend on 2.7 to use it, but that'll be okay: we'll need it for media stuff anyway.

I couldn't change the existing .pc file upstream because it would break projects who were including the headers correctly (for some values of correctly).

(I'm not sure when libpurple 2.7 will happen...)
