I'll come in in case Thomas is otherwise engaged, and as you're so 
close, if you have a need for OFX support, you'll need to install the 
OFX'-dev/devel' package from your distro - I'm pretty sure it will be there.

Then remove the CMakeCache.txt file and re-run 'cmake ..' as per Thomas 
above.  Once OFX is discovered, the plugin will be produced.
