BuildingLibssh-MinGW

Prerequisites

• Install cmake

Build ZLIB

• Download ZLIB sources (https://www.zlib.net/)
• Build ZLIB using CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\root
make -j16 && make install

Build OpenSSL

OpenSSL does not support building using CMake, however, GitHub contains a repo with a decent OpenSSL build with CMake support, use it:

git clone https://github.com/janbar/openssl-cmake.git
cd openssl-cmake
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\root
make -j16 && make install

Build libssh

And finally, build libssh

Change src\CMakeLists.txt at around line 322 and add Ws2_32 to the link line:

target_link_libraries(${LIBSSH_SHARED_LIBRARY} ${LIBSSH_LINK_LIBRARIES} ws2_32)

And build:

cd libssh
mkdir build
cmake .. -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\root -DZLIB_ROOT_DIR=C:\root -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:\root
make -j16 && make install
