get error when I run nullclient

[Benjamin Arnaud]

Hi,

If you've created a "plugins" directory at nullclient's root directory try the following :

#define CUSTOM_PLUGIN_PATH     "plugins/"

  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"
