  ==== Installing libssh ====
  You need libssh to build X2Go Client.
  
  X2Go Client 4.1.2.2 and later use libssh 0.9.x with pageant support.
+ 
+ === Pre-built Binaries ===
  
  Get the **library** package built with MinGW 4.8.x (currently 4.8.2) from [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD | x2goclient-contrib.git]]

For MinGW 4.8:
  <code>
  x2goclient-contrib\libssh\0.6.3-762055b-pageant-support-mingw482_bin\lib\*.* -> d:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\
  </code>
+ 
+ === Building From Source ===
+ 
+ If you want to rebuild the library (e.g., to backport fixes) or update it as part of the release process, follow these steps.
+ 
+ == Preparation ==
+ 
+ Download the tarball from [[https://www.libssh.org/get-it/|the libssh website]].
+ 
+ Unpack it as usually. The X2Go Project keeps libssh source code at ''D:\Build\libssh\''.
+ 
+ Adapt any required patches so that they apply cleanup, build and work correctly.
+ 
+ We currently patch libssh to include support for PuTTY's Pageant ssh agent.
+ 
+ To rebase patches, the X2Go Project uses the private git repository at ''D:\Build\libssh\libssh-git'':
+   * update the repository: <code>git fetch origin</code>
+   * check out new release tag (or branch or whatever you intend to build later on): <code>git checkout
... (e.g., libssh-0.9.3)</code>
+   * create new branch based on the tag/commit/branch/...: <code>git branch ...-win32 (e.g., libssh-0.9.3-win32)</code>
+   * cherry-pick specific X2Go-related commits from older branches, one ''cherry-pick'' command per commit to be ported: <code>git cherry-pick ...-win32 (e.g., libssh-0.7.4-win32)</code>
+   * fix any merge conflicts, pull in other upstream code etc.
+   * update the commit message!
+   * when done, create patch files: <code>git format-patch HEAD~ (for one patch, use ~~ for two patches etc.)</code>
+ 
+ Move the patches to the respective source directory and apply them in order.
