I made the new user using this command:

pure-pw useradd droa -u 52007 -g 52009 -d /home/droa/public_html

But when I connect using FTP, it says "Login authentication failed". Which other setting do I need to use?

I also have cpanel where I used to create accounts. I even checked the /etc/pureftpd.passwd file as well, but it only had one user which I created. I don't know which FTP cpanel uses.

The documentation of pureftp says that I need to compile with --with-everything. Is there any way to do that without re-compiling?

pure-pw only adds the user to your pureftpd.passwd file. either use the -m option or pure-pwconvert to transfer the userdata into your pureftpd.pdb file (or equivalent for your distribution).
