I'll let you in on the little trick I sometimes do while developing programs
using my development libssh2 version:
To build:
$ cd /my/source/dir
$ ./buildconf
$ ./configure [options]
$ make -j4
Create a 'lib' dir that is a symbolic link directly to where the libssh2.a
file is:
$ ln -s src/.libs lib
Now, you can build libssh2-using programs with configure and point it with
./configure --prefix to the root of the libssh2 source dir and you won't have
to do 'make install' etc when rebuilding libssh2 for experiments.
That works because --prefix expects a lib directory and an include directory.
