  Build the software like any other, append ''-j'' and other flags as desired:
  
  <code>"D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\bin\mingw32-make.exe"</code>
+ 
+ == Install ==
+ 
+ It's recommended to make sure that the install staging area is clean (fully deleted or at least empty) before installing/staging the built software.
+ 
+ This ensures that old/removed files won't linger around and that changes
will not remain undetected.
+ 
+ <code>rm -rf "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging"
+ "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\bin\mingw32-make.exe" install</code>
+ 
+ Afterwards, clean and install the newly built files into the MinGW prefix:
+ 
+ Header files:
+ 
+ <code>
+ rm -rf "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\libssh"
+ cp -av "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging\include\libssh" "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\libssh"
+ </code>
+ 
+ <note>''(dll).a'' files can be static libraries that are being used as "DLL import libraries" on Windows. They do not actually contain the library contents but a mechanism for loading the shared DLL files at run time. This differs from the UNIX concept of the linker automatically generating (unresolved) symbols and ignoring them (if an eventual symbol scanning suceeds) that are automatically resolved at run time.
+ 
+ As such, it is impotant to keep these
static DLL import libraries around on Windows, even if library is supposed to be used in a dynamically-linked fashion.</note>
+ 
+ 
+ Library files:
+ 
+ <code>
+ for /R "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\" %I in (libssh*) do rm -rf "%I"
+ D:
+ cd "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging\lib"
+ for %I in (libssh*) do cp -av "%I" "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\"
+ </code>
+ 
+ Afterwards, optionally bundle the new libssh source and binaries in x2goclient-contrib. Explicitly document the command line invocation in a file named ''CMake-Show-My-Changes.txt''.
