No SSL connection possible with libircclient












0














When I want my bot to connect to a irc server with SSL, I get the error:




Could not connect: SSL initialization failed




Using libircclient 1.10-1 which is build with --enable-openssl.
See here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libircclient.
Also, according to the documentation, the server name or IP address has to have an # at the beginning. For example #irc.freenode.net. Link to Documentation: http://www.ulduzsoft.com/libircclient/index.html#connect-to-the-server.
I tried with a hardcoded address (and port 6697) and had no success.



That error message gets printed when i try to connect with irc_connect(...) and is printed via the call to:



fprintf(stderr, "Could not connect: %sn", irc_strerror(irc_errno(s)));


Connecting to non-SSL server works. For example, via port 6667.



The following option is set to ignore invalid certificates:



irc_option_set(s, LIBIRC_OPTION_SSL_NO_VERIFY);


Building is done with the following LDLIBS:



LDLIBS = -lcurl -lircclient -lcrypto -lssl


I don't get any errors when compiling. Also: compiling with or without "-lcrypto -lssl" gives me the exact same binary, so it seems that the problem is somewhere here. Maybe my Makefile?
Since I'm running out of ideas, I am seeking here for help. So my question is: What am I doing wrong here?



..first time asking a question here. So if I make a mistake, please advise :)
