libssh2

This is libssh2, packaged for Zig.

Installation

First, update your build.zig.zon:

# Initialize a `zig build` project if you haven't already
zig init
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/libssh2.git#libssh2-1.11.1

You can then import libssh2 in your build.zig with:

const libssh2_dependency = b.dependency("libssh2", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});
your_exe.linkLibrary(libssh2_dependency.artifact("ssh2"));

Build Options

libssh2 offers a few options which you can control like so:

const libssh2_dependency = b.dependency("libssh2", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
    .zlib = true, // links to zlib for payload compression if enabled (default=true)
    .strip = true, // Strip debug information (default=false)
    .linkage = .static, // Whether to link statically or dynamically (default=static)
    .@"crypto-backend" = .auto, // auto will to default to wincng on windows, openssl everywhere else. (default=auto)
    .@"openssl-linkage" = .static, // each dependency's linkage can be configured to static/dynamic linking
});
