Facebook contacts ( connected through a transport ) show up in a seperate group on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 . #5

I am on 64-bit, 12.04 Ubuntu Linux.  After installing the following packages:

libglib2.0-dev libpurple-dev

I was able to build the plugin successfully with the following command:

gcc xmpp-ignore-groups.c /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so -O2 -Wall -fpic 
`pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` -shared -I/usr/include/libpurple -o 
xmpp-ignore-groups.so

I moved the xmpp-ignore-groups.so file to ~/.purple/plugins/ , and I activated 
the plugin, and activated the setting for my gmail account.

However, the my Facebook friends are still showing up in a seperate group.  
Note that I connect with Facebook through my gmail account, using an XMPP 
transport.  I had expected that once I activate this plugin, all my gmail 
contacts would be listed in one group in the buddy list.

I realize that my setup is a bit exotic, and it might not be worth the 
developers time to try and fix this, but I just thought I would share my 
experience.

Just move your facebook contacts out of the facebook group, they won't be moved 
automatically back to the facebook group now. You can delete it safely when it 
has no contacts.
Pidgin is doing what it should now, remembering the groups set up in the last 
session, which was the automatic facebook group. Change it and the changes will 
still be remembered.

Appears to work for FreeBSD too with slight modification:

clang xmpp-ignore-groups.c /usr/local/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so -O2 -Wall -fpic 
`pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` -shared -I/usr/local/include/libpurple -o 
xmpp-ignore-groups.so
