Additionally, I never mix code compiled with different versions of MSVC because I believe the compiler generates run-time and other library references that may cause issues. I believe name mangling is not part of the C++ language standard and so C++ code cannot be linked, although this might not apply as I believe libssh is pure “C”. To make life even more difficult, I encourage you to avoid CMake/Visual Studio as they dance with the elegance of two sumo wrestlers. I provide build support for Exiv2 on several popular build systems. Our current MSVC build environment builds libssh (0.55) with openssl (1.0.1j). We also provide build support for CMake/Visual Studio. 2012-05-04 23:35 <DIR> expat <--- "vanilla" expat 2.1.0 source tree 2012-05-04 23:35 <DIR> zlib <--- "vanilla" zlib 1.2.7 source tree 2012-05-04 23:35 <DIR> curl <--- "vanilla" curl 7.39.0 source tree 2012-05-04 23:35 <DIR> openssl <--- "vanilla" openssl 1.0.1j source tree 2012-05-04 23:35 <DIR> libssh <--- "vanilla" libssh 0.5.5 source tree You may find our build code helps you to build libssh with MSVC. Our build environments support VS 2005/8/10/12/13/15 and 2017/RC. We also support GCC (and/or clang) on MinGW, Cygwin, Linux and MacOS-X. Robin http://clanmills.com <http://clanmills.com/>
