The Windows libraries are built against the DEBUG version of Microsoft’s libraries making it impossible to distribute. Will a future version be made available that instead links to the RUNTIME Microsoft libraries.
I hope so.
“GLADIAC”, listed as a developer of ( libssh ), from your previous comment, does that mean that the build team for ( libssh ) is actively working on a library built against Microsoft’s RUNTIME libraries instead of DEBUG. If the answer is “YES”, is there an estimated date when the recompiled library will be made available?
I would like to have a Windows VM which does nightly builds and also creates packages for each Release. The problem is the missing time to work on my vmexec script to use telnet to do the build process. Everything else isn’t a problem is it just the lack of time
