OK, I use Homebrew on macOS Sierra and I wanted to get Hangouts to work. This page explains how to install Pidgin in order to get libpurple, how to build purple-hangouts to add Hangouts support to libpurple, how to build Bitlbee such that you can use it, and how to set up your account.
I assume you have Bitlbee already installed. If not, here it is:
brew install bitblee
This makes sure you have all the correct files and directories. For example, /usr/local/lib/bitlbee/ is where you would install plugins like facebook or bitlbee-discord, and /usr/local/share/bitlbee/ is where the help.txt file is installed. / Now comes the real stuff. First, install Pidgin.
brew install pidgin
Next, clone the Bitlbee sources using git.
git clone https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee.git
Build Bitlbee with libpurple support:
cd bitlbee ./configure --purple=1 make make install
If you run it, you should see a lot more protocols -- but still no Hangouts:
1 11:28 <kensanata> plugins
2 11:28 <root> Plugin Version

Install Mercury and Protocol Buffers implementation in C in order to build the Hangouts Plugin for libpurple. You'll note that there are also other dependencies but I already had all the other stuff installed. Nothing tricky to figure out for yourself, I hope. If you run into problems, leave a comment and I'll see whether I can figure it out.
brew install hg brew install protobuf-c hg clone https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts cd putple-hangouts make make install
When you start Bitlbee, make sure you use -F instead of -D or you'll get an error as soon as you try to sign into an account using libpurple.
If you restart Bitblee now, the plugins command should list hangouts.

Set it up:
account add hangouts <your email address> account on
You'll be contacted by a fake account called purple_request with instructions on how to get the OAuth token. It will link you to a YouTube video but the description of the video are the real instructions.
Answer purple_request with the token and you should be up and running.
Don't forget to save your configuration.
