Adium Plugin assistance

ARC is most definitely the future - embrace it! Love it! Curse at things when you're converting your non-ARC code and things start breaking! Talk to it and whisper sweet nothings in its ear when it makes your life so much easier when writing new code!

That being said: if you're compiling the aforementioned code as part of your Xcode build, you can mark individual files with a compiler flag to disable ARC. It's in Targets/Build Phases/Compile Sources. Double-click the Compiler Flags field and add "-fno-objc-arc"

Compiling proper frameworks or static libraries with ARC completely disabled and then linking to them works as well.
