I find something new. There is a header file "defines.h" in
<pidgin>/libpurple/example. It seems it defines many useful macro.

current file:

#define CUSTOM_USER_DIRECTORY  "/home/jiyu" // original value is "/dev/null"
#define CUSTOM_PLUGIN_PATH     "" // <<-- This macro should not be empty
right? Which path I should specify?
#define PLUGIN_SAVE_PREF       "/home/jiyu/purple/nullclient/plugins/saved"
#define UI_ID                  "nullclient"
