# libssh 0.6.3
# ============
# This should not be confused with libssh2

# Slackware 14.0: libssh 0.5.2
# Slackware 14.1: libssh 0.5.4

# Prerequisites:
# CMake >= 2.6.0
# OpenSSL >= 0.9.8 or libgcrypt >= 1.4
# zlib >= 1.2 (optional)
# doxygen (optional)
# pkg-config

# Get it

# Verify tarball w/ md5sum:

# As run below, it did find my 64-bit OpenSSL installed from source under
# the default prefix of /usr/local/ssl with libraries in
# /usr/local/ssl/lib64 (it uses pkgconfig to find it)

# Configure the build with CMake
# The -D defines override settings in ../DefineOptions.cmake
# To see what settings it is using after running cmake, look at
#  CMakeCache.txt

# 64-bit Linux:
test $(uname -m) = "x86_64" &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWITH_SSH1=ON\
-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/include\

# Anything else:
test $(uname -m) != "x86_64" &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWITH_SSH1=ON\
-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/include ..

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it

# Remove the Slackware package, if there is one
