Assitance on chat room preferences/plugins

[Ian Jones]

Ahh okay, I just noticed that the issue appears to have been reported
before: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5507

It seems like mino posted the code to ensure you get a popup:
http://custardsource.com/scratch/chatpop.c

Can you explain how I take this .c file and load it as a plugin so I can
use this functionality?

Sorry for all the questions, quite new to pidgin so appreciate the help!

Regards,
Ian

however the chat room window is closed (but I haven’t left the chat room).
 When someone writes in the chat room im not notified that’s there is a
new message.  Only when I open the chat room window can I see the new
message.  If the window is minimized im notified by it flashing in the
task bar, however just not notified if the window is actually closed.

I don't think there is any current plugin that will currently re-open
a persistent chat window that is currently closed.
