Need help getting started with libpurple

Tue May 2 07:16:49 EDT 2017

Thanks for the reply, nullclient started working after I ran "sudo make
install". Seems like something from make install was needed to complete the
configuration, I'll need to find out what it is since I need to run the
code on a server that does not have a development environment.

Hi Alfred,

Are you able to link us to your source code to see what's going on?  Also,
are you able to get a full libpurple debug log out of your client?  It
should tell you what's happening under the hood.

Cheers,
Eion

  I compiled pidgin2.12.0 and am running libpurple/example/nulclient, but
  it fails to get any protocols.
  I'm guessing that some configuration is missing, maybe in prefs.h? I have
  not been able to find the format for prefs.h or a sample file.
  Seems like status.xml, accounts.xml, blist.xml are also missing. Are
  sample files available for these?

  Here is the output of nullclient

  sdkvpgin01 example $ nullclient
  libpurple initialized.
  Select the protocol [0--1]: 0
  Failed to gets protocol.Aborted

  sdkvpgin01 example $ nullclient
  libpurple initialized.
  Select the protocol [0--1]: 1
  Failed to gets protocol.Aborted

  Can somebody give me a pointer on how I can make progress?
  Thanks
