Hi libssh2-developers, I compiled libssh2 successfull after some days of try-and-error. I wasn't able to compile the examples, but the ssh2_sample.c from version 0.14 was build and runnable with version from 0.15pre (cvs-snapshot). The problem with AIX was also found and solved by this patch http://www.mail-archive.com/libssh2-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00003.html but the changes are to big - and not accepted yet. Now I succeeded on AIX (5.2 in my case) with a small change in libssh2_priv.h . The problem is that libssh.h is included before sys/poll.h gets included, where the structure member "event" and "revent" are changed through preprocessor defines. So my change include sys/poll.h after libssh2_config.h but before libssh2.h in libssh2_priv.h - but only if needed (#ifdef HAVE_POLL). The second change include the file sys/ioctl.h which is needed for the define of FIONBIO on AIX. Here is the patch made from daily-snapshot-version of 2007-03-27: --------------------------- snip --------------------------- *** src/libssh2_priv.h Wed Mar 28 15:30:25 2007 --- src/libssh2_priv.patch.h Wed Mar 28 15:24:43 2007 *************** *** 40,45 **** --- 40,59 ---- #define LIBSSH2_LIBRARY #include "libssh2_config.h" + + #ifdef HAVE_POLL + # include <sys/poll.h> + #else + # ifdef HAVE_SELECT + # ifdef HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H + # include <sys/select.h> + # else + # include <sys/time.h> + # include <sys/types.h> + # endif + # endif + #endif + #include "libssh2.h" #include <stdio.h> *************** *** 46,51 **** --- 60,66 ---- #ifndef WIN32 #include <sys/socket.h> + #include <sys/ioctl.h> #endif #ifdef LIBSSH2_LIBGCRYPT --------------------------- snap --------------------------- I applied this patch after running configure-script. You could put it in the libssh2_priv.h file permanently - because I tested it with this patch also successfull on HP-UX 11i and Linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9).
Would you include the patch in libssh2-0.15? -- Regards Michael Augustin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
