Finally I've managed to prepare a build environment on Windows with VS2005. Slight modification of the LIBSSH2_FREE line (line 2000 in the current revision) to:
LIBSSH2_FREE(session, (void*) *algs); (in other words, *algs is casted to void*) eliminates the warning and the file compiles fine both with VS2005 and with GCC. I've written the section of code, where this line appears, to handle all theoretically possible defects. Later it was mentioned that such an event is very unlikely so there's a question whether this block will remain in the code..... I would like to prepare a patch but currently I am experimenting with some other modifications of kex.c (not related to this feature) and I have no idea if it is possible to include only certain modifications of a file. When building on Windows, I've noticed additional issues, not reported with GCC and not related to my modifications. - several compiler warnings "conversion from ... to ..." are reported. Not with kex.c though. - the file win32/libssh2.dsp (an equivalent to .vcproj in older releases of visual C/Studio), referred by libssh2.dsw, has somehow disappeared from the repository. It's still present in the 1.3.0 release, however. The same applies for INSTALL. Should I open a ticket with this issue?
