I spent an hour or so trying to get it to compile (GNU Make 4.1 doesn't seem to like ":" in target and filenames) and trying to figure out how to get ucspi working. I installed ucspi-tcp 0.88-5 from the archlinux AUR and built https://github.com/younix/ucspi.git . It looks like ucspi opens a file handle for input and output (6 and 7). This stumped me for a bit as well, but it looks like ucspi opens it and hands it over to the actual sj program. Here's what I eventually tried: # tcpclient dukgo.com 5222 sj -u gnuman -s dukgo.com -r resources\ -d /home/matt/.xmpp password: sj: <failure xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'><encryption-required/></failure> Then I realized that of course, I need encryption... # tcpclient dukgo.com 5222 ./sslc ../sj/sj -u gnuman -s dukgo.com -r\ resources -d /home/matt/.xmpp ./sslc: invalid option -- 'u' Oops... it tried to parse sj's parameters... # tcpclient dukgo.com 5222 ./sslc ../sj/sj -- -u gnuman -s dukgo.com -r\ resources -d /home/matt/.xmpp password: sslc: Success main: Input/output error So my next guess is that it needs tlsc, not sslc. Seems it needs LibreSSL's tls.h to compile, though... Am I on the right track? At this point, I decided that the project wasn't meant for other people to look at yet, and that I should wait for the author to update his documentation. The instructions appear to how to use the program before it was modified to use ucspi. I was interested in making something like this (recently inspired by Irc It), but figured best to start with an existing project. -- Matt Boswell
