Hi Michael,

I attached a triple-patch to help you build libssh-0.6.3 using VS2010's IDE.

When I try to "generate" the VS2010 project files under CMake 3.0.2, I get these 2 errors:

You have called ADD_LIBRARY for library ssh_threads_shared without any source files. This typically indicates a problem with your CMakeLists.txt file

CMake Error: CMake cannot determine linker language for target: ssh_threads_shared

To fix that I had to alter src/threads/CMakeLists.txt as explained in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.ssh.libssh.general/1783

If you compiled now, you would get the following error: 'error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory' So I also patched libcrypto.c

That would be enough, if one planned to build libssh with VS2013 (builds just fine).

Unfortunately, VS2010 is missing the isblank() function, so to accommodate for that I had to patch ConfigureChecks.cmake. For more information on C99 library support in Visual Studio, please see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/07/19/c99-library-support-in-vis ual-studio-2013.aspx

It doesn't matter anymore, but I was referring to this: http://www.libssh.org/files/win32/0.5/ Which is linked to from here: http://www.libssh.org/get-it/

Apparently, the provided old .lib file lacks ssh_channel_accept_forward support (it is unpatched).

It sounds like libssh 0.5 is too old. Let's not worry about it since we have 0.6.3 working.

I agree.

Please note that I patched the libssh-0.6.3 source. To summarize things (correct me if I'm wrong):

| Patch applied | libssh-0.6.3 |

| implement-support-for-putty-s-pageant-0.6.3-de62963.patch | libssh-0.6.3-de62963-pageant-support | | libssh-0.6.3-pthread.c.relativepaths.patch | libssh-0.6.3-762055b-pageant-support-mingw482 | | libssh-0.6.3-vs2010.patch | libssh-0.6.3-you_name_it |

I also attached a new release build with zlib support (please rename .doc to .zip).
