libpurple.framework and SSL Support

[John Indra]

Hi Thijs,

Thank you so much for elaborating. Looks like Evan already gave me the complete guide but I failed to understand.

Thus now here's my position:

I added the 2 files you mentioned: ssl.c and ssl-cdsa.c to my project, add Security.framework, add HAVE_CDSA in preprocessor macros, for both Debug and Release. Compilation goes smoothly.

Like previous time, I execute a method with just this statement:

printf("SSL support: %d", purple_ssl_is_supported());

It still prints 0 :(

Is there something I must do to initialize the SSL support?

Thank you so much.

Best regards,
John
