名词解释，Pidgin、Finch、libpurple分别指什么

环境要求

1、开发Plugin的最低要求：you need to have an installation of libpurple that includes development headers
2、开发具有Pidgin和Finch功能的Plugin的要求：you will need to also have Pidgin or Finch installed, complete with development headers.

如何安装开发依赖和源码
1、debian
2、fedora
3、Windows

如何解压代码


如何编译代码

If you are using Windows, run make -f Makefile.mingw to build Pidgin. If you are using another platform, run ./configure and then make after the configuration is complete. You may wish to customize the arguments to the configure script, which is beyond the scope of this document. If you are using Windows, DO NOT under any circumstances use the configure script! Any executables or .dll files derived from a Pidgin tree that has been configured via the configure script WILLNOT WORK outside of Cygwin, if they will build at all.

Now that everything is compiled, we can get to the real work of developing your first plugin, but first a point to be well aware of. ALL C plugins must define PURPLE_PLUGINS by using the #define preprocessor directive. This definition must occur before including any libpurple, Pidgin, or Finch header files. Failure to have #define PURPLE_PLUGINS in your source file leads to very strange errors that are difficult to diagnose. Just don't forget to do it!
