Hello

As the subject says, I am attempting to build libssh 0.9.5 with GSSAPI support 
on Windows. From what I’ve figure out, this hasn’t been done before, as the 
FindGSSAPI.cmake module doesn’t even attempt to find the libs on anything but 
UNIX.

I’ve got the Kerberos for Windows package installed so I’ve added a section to 
the FindGSSAPI.cmake module which allows the cmake generator to run:

if (WIN32)
    if (EXISTS "C:\Program Files\\MIT\\Kerberos")
        set(GSSAPI_FLAVOR_MIT TRUE)
        set(GSSAPI_ROOT_DIR "C:\\Program Files\\MIT\\Kerberos")
        set(GSSAPI_LIBRARIES "gssapi64.lib krb5_64.lib comerr64.lib")
    endif()
endif (WIN32)

It reports GSSAPI: ON 😊

However, when the actual build runs its all fine until it reaches the gssapi.c 
then it just fails with a myriad of warnings and errors. Some examples:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared\ws2def.h(100): warning 
C4005: 'AF_IPX': macro redefinition [C:\src\buildroot\src\ssh.vcxproj]
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\winsock.h(452): note: see 
previous definition of 'AF_IPX'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared\ws2def.h(421): error 
C2059: syntax error: 'constant' [C:\src\buildroot\src\ssh.vcxproj]
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\winsock2.h(2499): error 
C2375: 'WSACancelBlockingCall': redefinition; different linkage 
[C:\src\buildroot\src\ssh.vcxproj]

Also, quite a few other files complain about a possible loss of data (it’s a 64 
bit build), for example:

C:\src \libssh-0.9.5\src\base64.c(191): warning C4244: '=': conversion from 
'__int64' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data 
[C:\src\buildroot\src\ssh.vcxproj]

Has anyone tried to build libssh with GSSAPI support on Windows? Does anyone 
have a clue what is wrong here? I’ve built plenty of packages on Linux and 
Windows but I’m not very experienced with MS Visual Studio and the vxproj files 
seem like voodoo to me ☹

Thanks

Adam
