Thanks
Alex, works perfectly, and I have been able to build libcurl as
per the guide I referred to before with the libssh2.lib
generated via the method you described below. Just in case there are any other noobs like me using visual c++ express, you can create a static library project by selecting a win32 console app as the main template (as there is no template for static library), then on the subsequent screen, you will see a radio button option to select a static library instead of the console app. On 4/09/2012 7:57 PM, Alexander

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. Alex |
