libpurple.framework and SSL Support

[John Indra]

Hi Evan,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Really appreciated.

However I am new with C and Cocoa. Could you help answer the questions below?

1. Are you saying that the libpurple.framework supplied with Adium was built with no SSL support?
2. If my app wants to have libpurple with SSL support, do I have to recompile from Adium's source?
3. Or can I just drop AdiumLibpurple.framework to my project and add Security.framework?

Best regards,
John

Search the Adium source tree for purple_init_ssl_plugin() and purple_init_ssl_cdsa_plugin(), add ssl.c and ss-cdsa.c, and be sure to define HAVE_CDSA in your preprocessor defines on the target and link against Security.framework.

I also set so those frameworks will be copied to the app bundle. I copied all the headers from Adium's repo so I could build my app. All went fine… until this function:
