Hello, just an update. I tried the same on a Linux VM with a very similar result. Though the error message is different. This is either a result of different gcc versions or the linux box just hasn't had the /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/include folder in it's PATH.
configure on the linux Box showed: configure: summary of build options: version: 1.4.2 Host type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Install prefix: /usr/local Compiler: gcc Compiler flags: -g -O2 Library types: Shared=yes, Static=yes Crypto library: openssl: no (AES-CTR: N/A) libgcrypt: yes Debug build: no Build examples: yes Path to sshd: (only for self-tests) libz compression: no And the build with % gcc -v ssh2_agent.c -o testBuild showed up as below. Here the arch is the same. Using built-in specs.
