Hi there,

They aren't CURL errors, they are libssh2 errors, I just have the source in a folder named libCurl_X64 or whatever lol.

Thankfully I've managed to get around needing libSSH2, the article I was reading was misleading so I'm all sorted now. Sorry for any confusion caused with the path names!

Thanks for your help.

Nick.

Are you sure you're trying to compile libssh2? Or are you maybe trying to compile libcurl? libssh2 doesn't depend on curl.h so there won't be any references to it to eliminate.

I've no idea why it would object to key_exchange_state_t as it's defined in the same file. Something in your build is very broken.
Have you got the correct libssh2_config.h in you include path? The one from the win32 directory?

And you're using separate projects for each package?

Ok, that's fine but why are you getting curl.h errors when compiling libssh2?  Curl uses libssh2, not the other way round.

My advice is to ignore the included VC projects and make your own because it's really easy on Windows.  Here's the guide I've sent around this list a few times now:
Using Visual Studio:
- Shove all the .c files in libssh2/src into an empty Win32 C++ (DLL or Static Library) project except libgcrypt.c/openssl.c of which you only pick the one appropriate to your crypto library.
- Add your OpenSSL or libgcrypt include directory to the project include path
- Add libssh2/include to the project include path
- Add libssh2/win32 to the project include path
- Add the appropriate crypto libraries to the project Additonal Libraries list
- Build
- Job done
Using MinGW:
I'm not confident enough to list the exact steps for this but its basically a matter of adding the same .c files to a Makefile source list and instructing gcc to make a DLL or static library from them.
Use Google to find the flags you need to add for those two alternatives.
Alternatively, Guenter advised:
there's a NMakefile available too which should work with all MSVC versions; edit .\win32\config.mk and setup the paths to OpenSSL and Zlib, then in the root: nmake
Or use the included mingw makefile:
set OPENSSL_PATH=...
if you want Zlib support:
set WITH_ZLIB=1
set ZLIB_PATH=...
in ./win32 folder: mingw32-make

Thanks! Maybe put it on the wiki, or commit to a text file?
