I can't help you with the conversion but my advice would be to ignore the included project files entirely as libssh2 is so easy to build on Windows. Here's the guide I sent round the list a little while back: Using Visual Studio: - Shove all the .c files in libssh2/src into an empty Win32 C++ (DLL or Static Library) project except libgcrypt.c/openssl.c of which you only pick the one appropriate to your crypto library. - Add your OpenSSL or libgcrypt include directory to the project include path - Add libssh2/include to the project include path - Add libssh2/win32 to the project include path - Add the appropriate crypto libraries to the project Additonal Libraries list - Build - Job done Using MinGW: I'm not confident enough to list the exact steps for this but its basically a matter of adding the same .c files to a Makefile source list and instructing gcc to make a DLL or static library from them. Use Google to find the flags you need to add for those two alternatives.
