1 libPurple core-answerscripts plugin
3 This simple plugin just passes every single message received by any libPurple-based client (pidgin,finch) to sript(s) in user's home directory... So you can add various hooks to your pidgin or finch without need of writing and compiling own C plugin or messing with buggy perl plugin and restarting client after each change in plugin.
5 There are already few sample (answer)scripts in purple directory, so you can check how easy it is to write some script for pidgin or finch...
8 The libpurple header files are needed to compile the plugin.
10 Building & installation:
12 To build and install :

21 To install it for everybody on your computer,
24 # make install PREFIX="/path/to/pidgin" (this command as root user)
25 generally /path/to/pidgin is /usr or /usr/local. If you don't know the path then you can find out using
27 and look for the part before "/lib/pidgin".
