Enabling disabled pidgin plugins

I went to http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wi … nPack#Faq4 and saw:

Q. How do I enable a plugin you have not enabled by default?
A. There are a few ways if you're NOT on Windows. We will cover Windows in a separate question, as it is a different process. You can touch plugindir/.build from the top level source directory and then run the configure script again; this is the easiest way. The second way is to do a for loop in your shell, similar to this for bash: for i in *; do cd $i && make && su -c 'make install' && cd ..; done. The third way is to run the configure script with the argument --with-plugins=plugin1,plugin2,...,pluginN where you specify a comma delimited list of the plugins you want to build. After running the configure script in either way mentioned here, build and install as normal.

Just to try it out, I ran abs, looked at the PKGBUILD for purple-plugin-pack and added a "touch ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/broadcast/.build" after the configure script then reran the configure script. This did not put the broadcast plugin in the final package... I then browsed the list of plugins alphabetically and changed configure to configure --with-plugins=pluginX where X was its place alphabetically. That failed to build it aswell, and I'm not sure quite how to do the loop they are talking about. Has anyone enabled broadcast, group message or one of the other plugins that is disabled by default? Because I'm fairly sure their instructions don't work.

have you installed the dependencies? perhaps they are not in the default pkgbuild. you have to add them by hand. the --enable-... flag is ignored if they're not installed. have you checked the config.log?
