What version of openssl do you have installed?

[Noskcaj19]

So, this looks like serenity-rs/serenity#394. Serenity depends on the 0.9 openssl crate which does not support OpenSSL 1.1.1. I'm not really sure what to do about, but it looks like there is an open pr and issue in serenity to fix it

bf4ed92 bumps serenity to v0.6, which should work with newer versions of OpenSSL, can you see if it works now?

[Noskcaj19]

Interesting, it looks like serenity either depends on nightly rust or a newer stable version. Try compiling on nightly because I know I am now using a few nightly features in weechat-discord.

@VasyaTheWizard Assuming you installed cargo with rustup, just run the following command:

rustup default nightly

And I can confirm it does not build on the current stable version of Rust.
It compiles on nightly, though.
Edit: it now compiles on stable as well.

Closing because this should be fixed
